Embodiment Construction

[0029] The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which generally relate to location-based services and geo-fencing.

[0030] Geo-fencing is a technology used to monitor the movement of a computing device, such as a cell phone, within a geographic area and notify or alert the user of the device when the device enters or leaves the geographic area. A geofence defines the boundaries of said geographic area, such that the phone's location data can be compared to coordinates (such as latitude and longitude) of the geofence boundary or perimeter. The present invention solves the problem of accuracy when a mobile phone enters or leaves a geofence, and more specifically, provides a mechanism for determining when a mobile phone enters or leaves a polygonal geofence. In one embodiment, the techniques disclosed herein approximate polygonal geofences using multiple circular geofences. Approximating polygonal geofences in this way reduces processing and...

Abstract

The disclosure relates to technology for location-based services, and in particular, to geofencing. A computing device generates multiple circular shaped geofences to cover a geographic region definedby a polygon shaped geofence. The multiple circular shaped geofences are monitored to detect a current location of user equipment entering a boundary of any of the circular shaped geofences. Based onthe detection, determining that the current location of the user equipment is within the polygon shaped geofence. A location based service is notified that the user equipment has entered the polygonshaped geofence.

Description

[0001] Related Applications Cross Application [0002] This application claims priority to an earlier application, US Patent Application Serial No. 15 / 987,319, filed May 23, 2018, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to location-based services, and more particularly to geofencing. Background technique [0004] Numerous applications can use location information from computing devices such as mobile devices or phones. Many apps use location data to locate friends, play games, and help users get directions. The location information may also be used to alert the user's mobile device when the user is near a point of interest, such as a business, institution, landmark, park, or other location of interest to the user. For example, users can choose to be reminded every time they are near a particular store or restaurant. [0005] Location-based services are the domain of mobile applicatio...
