Abstract
A system and method for creation and management of user location policies and data. Generally described, the system provides for automated tools and personal tools that can alleviate the onerous and expensive task of updating location data and location based policies. The automated tools can use existing information within company databases to create and manage standard user locations. The personal tools can allow the user to personally create manage their own locations through a graphical user interface. The automated and personal tools can utilize global positioning system information to track the current location of the user. The information can be used to determine physical locations to a certain degree.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a database;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory operatively coupled to said processor, said memory storing program instructions that when executed by said processor, causes said processor to:
- receive location information;
- determine location based policies using said location information along with company data or personal data;
- store said location based policies in said database.
A method for allowing personal creation and management of location information on a user computer system comprising:
- retrieving location data;
- allowing user modifications to said location data;
- and
- adjusting location based policies to said modified location data.
A computer-implemented method for linking a source location type to a destination location type for implementing location based policies using a set of rules, said computer-implemented method comprising:
- associating subtypes of said source location type to subtypes of said destination location type using said set of rules;
- and
- determining from data associated with a user said subtypes of said destination location type using said set of rules.
