Original Abstract Submitted

a mobile device may install and monitor geofences. the application or the operating system (os) may store a set of geofences. the application or os may determine the mobile device's current location and generate a first bounding area around the current location. the application or os may determine the size or radius of the first bounding area such that no more than a specified number of geofences fall inside the first bounding area. the application or os may monitor the mobile device's location in the first bounding area and determine whether the mobile device exits the first bounding area. in response to determining that the mobile device exits the first bounding area, the application or os may determine the mobile device's location and generate a second bonding area such that no more than the specified number of the geofences fall inside the second bounding area.
