Abstract
Systems and methods for creating a database of geofences and registering geofences, with each geofence in the database being associated with an IP address, preferably an IPv6 address. Each geofence is defined using at least one geographic designator, preferably real property boundaries. Entitlements can be associated with geofences relating to permissive and prohibitive activities within the geofences.
Claims20
A system for geofence lookup, comprising:
- a fence delivery network connected to at least one fencing agent and at least one mobile device with an Internet Protocol (IP) address over a network;
- wherein location data associated with a geofence is encoded in the IP address;
- wherein the at least one fencing agent receives location information from the at least one mobile device;
- wherein the at least one fencing agent determines at least one geofence boundary point and at least one entitlement associated with entering, exiting, dwelling, or ranging to a geofence boundary based on the location of the at least one mobile device;
- and
- wherein the at least one fencing agent enforces the at least one entitlement with respect to the at least one mobile device.
