Geofence Determination via Sequential Location Tracing

The patent transforms static, predefined geofence shapes into dynamic, user-defined boundaries. The system allows users to manually trace custom geofence perimeters by sequentially inputting coordinate points, enabling the geofence shape to adapt to any irregular or dynamic geographic area rather than being constrained to fixed geometric forms.

The invention changes the fundamental parameters of geofence definition from fixed geometric parameters (radius, standard shapes) to flexible coordinate-based parameters. By allowing users to input a series of latitude and longitude points that define the geofence boundary, the system achieves versatile shape adaptation while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive point-by-point boundary tracing.

The patent segments the geofence boundary into discrete coordinate points that users input sequentially. Instead of defining the entire boundary at once using complex geometric equations, the system breaks down the boundary into manageable segments represented by individual latitude and longitude coordinates, enhancing accuracy for complex areas while keeping the creation process systematic and organized.

The system introduces an intermediary process where users manually trace the boundary by inputting coordinate points, which then serve as the foundation for automated geofence generation. This intermediary step of point-by-point boundary tracing acts as a mediator between the user's intent and the final geofence structure, ensuring high accuracy for irregular geographic areas while maintaining process clarity.
