Systems and methods for correction of geographic inconsistency in item properties

A method comprising:

• determining a current geographic location of a mobile device in response to satellite broadcasts received by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver of the mobile device;
• programmatically transmitting, by a communication device of the mobile device, the current geographic location to a location service hosted on a location server in communication with the mobile device via a mobile network;
• receiving, from the location service, an identification of a plurality of geographic locations of interest, the geographic locations of interest being identified based, at least in part, on a distance between the current geographic location and the geographic locations of interest;
• receiving, via a first firewall user-identifying information from the mobile device;
• programmatically transmitting, via a secure network, the user-identifying information to a threat management server;
• in response to a determination that the user-identifying information is not a threat, programmatically transmitting, via a second firewall, the user-identifying information to an authentication server of the secure network for authentication;
• in response to receiving an authentication, programmatically transmitting a message to the mobile device authorizing relocation;
• relocating the mobile device from the current geographic location to a selected one of the geographic locations of interest;
• acquiring, by a data reader of the mobile device, item-descriptive data associated with an item at the selected one of the geographic locations of interest;
• receiving, from a user interface of the mobile device, item-property data associated with the item at the selected one of the geographic locations of interest;
• connecting the mobile device to the secure network by transmitting, from the communication device of the mobile device and via the mobile network, user-identifying information to a security authentication module of the secure network through the one or more firewalls;
• programmatically transmitting, via the secure network and in response to receiving authentication from the authentication module, the item-descriptive data to a secure item database server in communication with the mobile device via the secure network through the first and the second firewall, wherein a load balancer transmits the item-descriptive data to at least one of a plurality of geographically distributed servers and the secure item database server;
• receiving, from the secure item database server in response to the transmission of the item-descriptive data, (i) an identification of a corresponding item located at a different geographic location from the selected one of the geographic locations of interest, and (ii) corresponding item-property data associated with the corresponding item at the different geographic location;
• and
• programmatically determining, by a processor of the mobile device, a difference between the item-property data and the corresponding item-property data, the difference effecting a change in corresponding item-property data in the secure item database server.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause a mobile device to:

• determine a current geographic location of the mobile device in response to satellite broadcasts received by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver of the mobile device;
• programmatically transmit, by a communication device of the mobile device user-identifying information, via a first firewall to a threat management server that upon determining the user-identifying information is not a threat, in-turn transmits the user-identifying information, via a second firewall, to an authentication server of a secure network for authentication;
• receiving, by a communication device of the mobile device, upon authentication, a message authorizing relocation of the mobile device;
• programmatically transmit, by a communication device of the mobile device, the current geographic location to a location service hosted on a location server in communication with the mobile device via a mobile network;
• receive, from the location service, an identification of a plurality of geographic locations of interest, the geographic locations of interest being identified based, at least in part, on a distance between the current geographic location and the geographic locations of interest;
• relocate the mobile device from the current geographic location to a selected one of the geographic locations of interest;
• acquire, by a data reader of the mobile device, item-descriptive data associated with an item at the selected one of the geographic locations of interest;
• receiving, from a user interface of the mobile device, item-property data associated with the item at the selected one of the geographic locations of interest;
• connect the mobile device to the secure network by transmitting, from the communication device of the mobile device and via the mobile network, user-identifying information to an authentication server of the secure network through the first firewall and the second firewall;
• programmatically transmit, via the secure network and in response to receiving authentication from the authentication module, the item-descriptive data to a secure item database server in communication with the mobile device via the secure network through the first firewall and the second firewall, wherein a load balancer transmits the item-descriptive data to at least one of a plurality of geographically distributed servers and the secure item database server;
• receive, from the secure item database server in response to the transmission of the item-descriptive data, (i) an identification of a corresponding item located at a different geographic location from the selected one of the geographic locations of interest, and (ii) corresponding item-property data associated with the corresponding item at the different geographic location;
• and
• programmatically determine, by a processor of the mobile device, a difference between the item-property data and the corresponding item-property data, the difference effecting a change in corresponding item-property data in the secure item database server.
