摘要： A method for providing location-based notifications on mobile devices is discussed. The method includes determining a first location of user's mobile device based on IP address, GPS signals, Wi-Fi signals, or cellular signals. The method includes accessing data, received by the mobile device responsive to communicating the first location to a server, indicating merchants in an area proximate to the first location. The method includes determining a second location of the mobile device based on other IP address, GPS signals, Wi-Fi signals, and/or cellular signals. The method includes communicating with the server to determine, based on the second location, that the mobile device has crossed into a geofence that includes at least one of the merchants. The method includes effecting, responsive to a determination that the mobile device crossed into the first geofence, a notification on the mobile device indicating at least one of the merchants at the geofence.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided for delivering location-based services. The services may include aggregating data indicating a plurality of geographical locations, attributes associated with the geographical locations, and items of content associated with the geographical locations. A current location of an electronic device is obtained and analytics are performed on the aggregate data to select one or more particular geographical locations, wherein the analytics can consider, for example, proximity of the current location of the electronic facility to the geographical locations and the attributes associated with the geographical locations. Items of content stored in the aggregated data and associated with the selected geographical locations are output at a user interface associated with a web or application resource operating on the electronic facility.

摘要： A method for providing incentives based on geolocation of mobile devices is discussed. The method includes determining a first location of a mobile device based on IP address, GPS signals, Wi-Fi signals, and/or cellular signals. The method includes communicating with a server to obtain first merchant data, for a first geofence for the first location, which is accessed to obtain a first merchant subset. The method includes displaying an interactive map interface, on the mobile device, indicating icons for the first merchant subset. The method includes determining an area of interest, based on a user input, which is used by communicating with a server to obtain second merchant data for a second geofence. The second merchant data is accessed to obtain a second subset of merchants for the second geofence. The method includes displaying, on user interface, icons associated with the second subset of merchants.

摘要： A method for providing incentives based on geolocation of mobile devices. The method includes storing, by a server, data including merchant information of merchants and points of interest, and associated incentive information. The method includes determining, based on communication with user's device of a user, a first location of the mobile device. The method includes determining, based on the first location, a first subset of merchants and associated first subset of incentives. The method includes communicating merchant data, including information on the first subsets of merchants and incentives, to the mobile device. The method includes communicating to the mobile device, in response to a determination that the mobile device is inside a geofence associated with at least one of the first subset of merchants, additional information on the at least one of the first subset of merchants, the additional information comprising one or more related incentives.

摘要： A method and system for effecting changes on a mobile device. The method includes determining a physical location of a point of interest. The method includes automatically generating a geofence proximate to the point of interest based on the determined physical location of the point of interest. The method includes detecting when the mobile device enters the geofence. The method includes tracking a current velocity of a mobile device. The method also includes effecting a change on the mobile device based on the current velocity of the mobile device within the geofence.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided for delivering location-based services, wherein the location-based services may include storing data defining a plurality of physical locations and a plurality of geofences associated with the physical locations, monitoring a current location of a user device, comparing the current location of the user device with each of the geofences, and determining based on the comparison that the current location of the user device is within a particular geofence. Rankings are assigned to the physical locations associated with the particular geofence based on various criteria, including, for example, distances between the user device and the physical locations, user interactions with the physical locations, user preferences, demographics, or consumer purchase history. User-selectable icons corresponding to the physical locations are output at the user device, wherein the positions of the user-selectable icons in an interface are determined based on the assigned rankings.

摘要： A method and system for presenting location information on mobile devices is discussed. The method includes tracking, at a mobile device associated with a user, mobile device locations of additional mobile devices associated with additional users. Each of the mobile device locations can be determined based on data indicating location data transmissions of respective additional mobile devices. The method includes providing an interactive map interface on a device display on the mobile device, the interactive map interface indicating, based on the tracking, location representations of locations and user representations of the additional users. The interactive map interface indicates a geofence generated using a location selected by the user. The method also includes displaying, responsive to a determination based on the tracking that one of the mobile devices has entered an area of the geofence, an alert on the device display.
