Abstract
Provided herein are methods and systems relating to location-based services such as providing a geofencing, outputting location-based information on a mobile device, varying transmissions to and from a mobile device, and providing location-based alerts. More specifically, a method can include receiving a task on a mobile device, associating the task with a location, generating a geofence around the location associated with the task, tracking a current location of a the mobile device, and generating an alert associated with the task when the current location is within the geofence.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more dating preferences associated with a first user;
- detecting whether a second user that is within a threshold distance of a mobile device of the first user satisfies the one or more dating preferences;
- and
- in response to detecting that the second user that is within the threshold distance of the mobile device of the first user satisfies the one or more dating preferences, causing a notification to be displayed on the mobile device of the first user.
A system comprising:
- one or more computer-readable memories storing program instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving one or more dating preferences associated with a first user;
- detecting whether a second user that is within a threshold distance of a mobile device of the first user satisfies the one or more dating preferences;
- and
- in response to detecting that the second user that is within the threshold distance of the mobile device of the first user satisfies the one or more dating preferences, causing a notification to be displayed on the mobile device of the first user.
