## Abstract

A system and method of monitoring triggers that alert a user of a location based reminder. At least one trigger may be at least one class having a plurality of members. The triggers are stored. The device monitors the location of the device in relation to the at least one trigger. An alert is executed when the device is within a threshold of the trigger. The device will continue to monitor outstanding triggers.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile computing device for location based reminders, the mobile computing device comprising:
a location based reminder application comprising a location for the mobile computing device, said reminder application to monitor at least one class, said class comprising a plurality of members; and
said application provides a reminder when said location is near at least one member of said class.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile computing device of claim 1, wherein said plurality of members are automatically generated based on said at least one class.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile computing device of claim 1, wherein near is defined as being within a proximity to said at least one member of said class.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mobile computing device of claim 1, wherein said class is populated based on at least one of a similar classification, category, species, genre and attribute.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The mobile computing device of claim 1, wherein said application provides a second reminder when said location matches the member that caused the first reminder.

### Claim 6

A method for location based reminders, the method comprising:
determining, via a computing processor, members of at least one class, at least one class formed of a plurality of members; and
executing an alert when a device is within a threshold range of at least one determined member of said class.

### Claim 7

A method for location based reminders, the method comprising:
monitoring, via a computing processor, for a trigger, said trigger based on a plurality of class members; and
alerting that a device is within a threshold range of at least one determined member of said class.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 further comprising causing monitoring for a second trigger, said second trigger based on said at least one determined member.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 further comprising monitoring for at least one additional trigger.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 further comprising monitoring said trigger in relation to at least one highway exit.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 further comprising causing display of at least one price of a commodity.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 further comprising causing display of at least one location having a commodity.

### Claim 13 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 further comprising causing display of directions to at least one location.

### Claim 14 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 wherein alerting on a second device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 wherein alerting is defined as at least one of email, SMS message, alarm, visual alert and audial alert.

### Claim 16 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 wherein said threshold range is defined as at least one of a radius, a region, a distance, and a time.

### Claim 17 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 wherein said threshold range is further defined as at least one of a driving distance, a walking distance, a flying distance and a biking distance.

### Claim 18 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 wherein said threshold range is further defined as at least one of a driving time, a walking time, a flying time and a biking time.
