20150271639 | START AND STOP MOVING NOTIFICATION TRIGGERS FOR LOCATION BASED TRACKING - A tracking system in which positioning alerts are communicated to a first user device from a second user device, the tracking system including a positioning sensor that determines a current location of the second user device; a controller in communication with the positioning sensor; and a memory including instructions to: receive a first set of current locations from the positioning sensor, generate, at a start of a candidacy period, a candidate geofence including the first set, receive a second set of current locations from the positioning sensor, when, by an end of the candidacy period, the entirety of the second is within the candidate geofence, communicate a stop motion message to the first user device, receive a third set of current locations from the positioning sensor, and when any of the third set is outside an active geofence, communicate a start motion message to the first user device. | 09-24-2015 |
20130115972 | Method for Managing a Geo-Targeted Campaign - An embodiment is directed to a method for managing a geo-targeted campaign. A user defines a campaign by specifying devices eligible to receive the material associated with the campaign, landmarks defining points of interest and areas associated with the campaign, and triggers that enable the material to be delivered to devices based on a set of conditions. In an embodiment, a console provides controls for defining devices, landmarks, and events. The console includes a wizard for creating events and a visualization layer that allows a user to visualize devices and landmarks on a map. | 05-09-2013 |
