Smart location alert system

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to identify a position of a target device as a first location based, at least in part, on data provided by one or more geolocation systems;
• program instructions to identify a location category for the first location, wherein a database associates the first location with the location category;
• program instructions to determine that the identified location category is among a predetermined set of location categories, wherein the predetermined set of location categories is associated with the database;
• program instructions to identify a time threshold for the identified location category, wherein the database associates the time threshold with the identified location category;
• program instructions to identify an alert that is associated with the identified location category within the database;
• program instructions to determine an amount of time that the target device is present at the first location, wherein the amount of time the target device is present at the first location is determined based, at least in part, on time information paired with geolocation information received from the one or more geolocation systems;
• and
• program instructions to determine that the amount of time the target device is present at the first location exceeds the time threshold, and in response, sending the alert to the one or more recipient devices for the purpose of notifying users of the one or more recipient devices of the first location of the target device.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
