Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and techniques for provisioning geofences are disclosed. In one aspect, a map comprising one or more selectable geographic entities is displayed. In response to a selection by a user of at least one geographic entity of the one or more geographic entities, a geofence corresponding to the selected at least one geographic entity is created. In another aspect, a user may provide an input including one or more keywords. In response to determining that a first geographic entity has attributes that match the one or more keywords, a geofence corresponding to the first geographic entity is created.

Description

Background technique [0001] Aspects of the invention relate to automatic deployment of geofences. Geofences are closed boundaries generally defined over geographic areas such as offices, campuses, retail storefronts, and the like. Once defined, geofences allow mobile devices with location estimation capabilities to determine whether they are inside or outside the geofence. This determination can form the basis for many useful functions performed with the mobile device. [0002] For example, a geo-fence may be defined around the footprint of a coffee shop. The mobile device carried by the customer will then be able to determine based on its location estimate whether it is inside or outside the geofence. An application executing on a mobile device may display a menu of beverage choices, display related advertisements, report a customer's arrival to a server associated with the coffee shop, and / or perform other tasks, all based on the fact that the customer has entered a geogr...
