GEO-FENCE AUTHORIZATION PROVISIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521752 titled 'GEO-FENCE AUTHORIZATION PROVISIONING
Simplified Explanation
The system described in the patent application allows for the posting of content to an event gallery based on the location of the device sending the content and the verification of the user's identity.
- Communication module receives request to post content to event gallery
- Request includes geo-location data and identification data
- Event gallery module performs first authorization operation based on geo-location data
- Event gallery module performs second authorization operation based on identification data
- Device is selectively authorized to post content based on both authorization operations
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied to event management systems, social media platforms, and location-based marketing campaigns.
Problems Solved
This technology helps prevent unauthorized content posting in event galleries and ensures that only users within a specific location range can contribute.
Benefits
The system provides enhanced security and control over content posted to event galleries, improving the overall user experience and event organization.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in event planning software, where organizers can control the content shared in event galleries.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include location-based social media features or event check-in systems that require user verification before posting content.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle multiple devices posting content from the same location?
The system may have a mechanism to differentiate between devices based on their unique identification data, allowing for multiple devices to post content from the same location.
What measures are in place to protect user privacy and data security?
The system may have encryption protocols in place to secure user identification data and geo-location information, ensuring that user privacy is protected while using the platform.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a communication module that receives a request to post content to an event gallery associated with an event. The request in turn includes geo-location data for a device sending the content, and identification data identifying the device or a user of the device. The system further has an event gallery module to perform a first authorization operation that includes determining that the geo-location data corresponds to a geo-location fence associated with an event. The event gallery module also performs a second authorization operation that includes using the identification data to verify an attribute of the user. Finally, based on the first and second authorization operations, the event gallery module may selectively authorize the device to post the content to the event gallery.
