Abstract
A method, computer program product and computer system are provided to promote device usage compliance. A processor retrieves a current position for a device. A processor determines at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device. A processor retrieves search data regarding the at least one nearby location. A processor determines compliance information regarding the at least one location based, at least in part, on the search data. A processor configures the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one location.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- retrieving, by one or more processors, a current position for a device;
- determining, by the one or more processors, at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device;
- retrieving, by the one or more processors, search data regarding the at least one nearby location, wherein the search data includes a user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location;
- determining, by the one or more processors, compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location based, at least in part, on the search data;
- and
- configuring, by the one or more processors, the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location.
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to retrieve a current position for a device;
- program instructions to determine at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device;
- program instructions to retrieve search data regarding the at least one nearby location, wherein the search data includes a user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location;
- program instructions to determine compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location based, at least in part, on the search data;
- and
- program instructions to configure the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location.
A computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to retrieve a current position for a device;
- program instructions to determine at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device;
- program instructions to retrieve search data regarding the at least one nearby location, wherein the search data includes a user-generated comment regarding the at least one nearby location;
- program instructions to determine compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location based, at least in part, on the search data;
- and
- program instructions to configure the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one nearby location.
