EXPANSION OF GEO-FENCE SIZE BASED ON A TAG'S LIKELY LOCATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957930 titled 'EXPANSION OF GEO-FENCE SIZE BASED ON A TAG'S LIKELY LOCATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for adjusting the sizes of geo-fences based on an individual's likely location. This involves determining geo-fenced zones, receiving location information, and adjusting the geo-fenced zones based on the expected areas to be visited by the individual.
- Determining geo-fenced zones corresponding to specific areas
- Receiving location information indicating areas expected to be visited
- Adjusting geo-fenced zones based on expected visited areas
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Location-based services
- Personalized marketing campaigns
- Safety and security systems
Problems Solved
This technology addresses issues such as:
- Inaccurate geo-fencing due to fixed boundaries
- Privacy concerns with overly broad geo-fences
- Inefficient use of resources in monitoring geo-fenced areas
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved accuracy in tracking individual locations
- Enhanced personalization of services based on location
- Optimal resource allocation for monitoring geo-fenced areas
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology could include:
- Mobile app development for location-based services
- Security companies offering personalized monitoring solutions
- Retailers targeting customers based on their likely locations
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of dynamic geo-fencing based on real-time location data to adjust the boundaries of geo-fenced areas.
What are the specific techniques used to determine the geo-fenced zones in this patent application?
The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific techniques used to determine the geo-fenced zones.
The technology addresses privacy concerns by adjusting the sizes of geo-fences based on the individual's likely locations, reducing the risk of overly broad geo-fences infringing on privacy.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for adjusting the sizes of geo-fences based on an individual's likely location are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining one or more geo-fenced zones corresponding to one or more respective areas; receiving location information indicative of the one or more areas expected to be visited by the individual, of the one or more respective areas; and adjusting the one or more geo-fenced zones based on the one or more respective areas expected to be visited by the individual.
