Dynamic geofencing techniques for GPS enabled communication devices

A communication system configured to track location data among a plurality of communication devices communicable with a communication server, comprising:

• a communication server comprising one or more processors configured to execute instructions to:
• receive, from a location enabled first communication device, an instruction to create a geofence around a location enabled second communication device;
• request location data for both the first and second communication devices;
• receive the requested location data from the first and second communication devices;
• compare the location data of the first and second communication devices to determine how close they are to one another;
• create a geofence around the second communication device when the first and second communication devices are within a predetermined distance of one another wherein the geofence is in one of two states, the two states being paused and active wherein the paused state is characterized by the first and second communication devices both being within the boundary of the geofence, and the active state is characterized by the first communication device being within the boundary of the geofence and the second communication device being beyond the boundary of the geofence;
• and
• notify the first communication device when the second communication device ventures beyond the boundary of the geofence.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that when executed enable processing circuitry to execute instructions to track location data among a plurality of communication devices communicable with a communication server, the instructions to:

• receive, from a location enabled first communication device, an instruction to create a geofence around a location enabled second communication device;
• request location data for both the first and second communication devices;
• receive the requested location data from the first and second communication devices;
• compare the location data of the first and second communication devices to determine how close they are to one another;
• create a geofence around the second communication device when the first and second communication devices are within a predetermined distance of one another wherein the geofence is in one of two states, the two states being paused and active wherein the paused state is characterized by the first and second communication devices both being within the boundary of the geofence, and the active state is characterized by the first communication device being within the boundary of the geofence and the second communication device being beyond the boundary of the geofence;
• and
• notify the first communication device when the second communication device ventures beyond the boundary of the geofence.
