Abstract
Systems and methods for geofence information delivery are disclosed. A multiplicity of devices constructed and configured in network communication in a region of interest via a peer-to-peer network. The multiplicity of devices store cached geofence information for the region of interest. The multiplicity of devices on the peer-to-peer network are operable to convert between an IP address and a geographic location. Each of the multiplicity of devices is operable to query peer devices on the peer-to-peer network for geofences associated with an IP address or a geographic location. At least one peer device is operable to deliver one or more geofences associated with the IP address to the querying device via zero-configuration networking or web service.
Claims20
A system for geofence information delivery, comprising:
- at least two devices constructed and configured in network communication in a region of interest via a peer-to-peer network;
- wherein the at least two devices comprise at least one processor coupled with at least one memory;
- wherein the at least one memory is operable to cache geofence information within the region of interest;
- wherein the at least one processor is operable to convert between an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a coordinate point of a geographic location and query the cached geofence information on the at least two devices;
- wherein the at least two devices are operable to deliver one or more geofences associated with the geographic location.
A method of geofence information delivery, comprising:
- providing at least two devices constructed and configured in network communication in a region of interest via a peer-to-peer network, the at least two devices storing cached geofence information for the region of interest;
- at least one device of the at least two devices on the peer-to-peer network obtaining its geolocation information;
- the at least one device converting the geolocation information to an IP address;
- the at least one device querying peer devices on the peer-to-peer network for geofences associated with the IP address;
- and
- at least one peer device of the at least two devices delivering one or more geofences associated with the IP address to the at least one device.
