Abstract
Systems and methods of registering geocodes with a geofence and delivering geocodes which define geofences to devices are described herein. Geocodes include strings of words, letters, numbers, and combinations thereof. Geocodes associated with the same or similar geofences are cohesive and provide for improved location information, with IP addresses being assigned to the geocodes.
Claims20
A geocode delivery system, comprising:
- at least one device including a processor coupled with a memory, wherein the at least one device is constructed and configured for wireless communication and programmed to send a request for geofence information over a network;
- at least one geocode linked to the at least one geofence, wherein each of the at least one geocode is assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address or an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address;
- wherein a domain name is assignable to each IP address or each IPv6 address for each of the at least one geocode, wherein the domain name is translatable to a geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one device is operable to receive a Domain Name Service (DNS) response to the request;
- wherein each of the at least one geocode and the at least one geofence is assigned at least one subdomain name and/or at least one domain name;
- wherein a plurality of metadata are linked to the at least one geofence;
- wherein a search engine is configured to receive the request from the at least one device over the network and identify whether a geocode is within the at least one geofence, wherein the geocode is directly translated to coordinate points through the lookup table or indirectly translated to the coordinate points through an algorithm.

- at least one device including a processor coupled with a memory, wherein the at least one device is constructed and configured for wireless communication and is operable to send a request for geofence information over a network;
- at least one geocode linked to at least one geofence, wherein each of the at least one geocode is assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address or an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address;
- wherein a domain name is assignable to each IP address or each IPv6 address;
- wherein the domain name is automatically generated and registered with the at least one geofence;
- wherein the domain name is translatable to a geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one device is operable to receive a Domain Name Service (DNS) response to the request;
- wherein a plurality of metadata are linked to the at least one geofence;
- and
- wherein a search engine is configured to receive the request from the at least one device over the network and identify whether a geocode is within the at least one geofence, wherein the geocode is directly translated to coordinate points through the lookup table or indirectly translated to the coordinate points through an algorithm.

A geocode delivery system, comprising:
- at least one fencing agent on at least one device including a processor coupled with a memory, wherein the at least one device is constructed and configured for wireless communication and the fencing agent is programmed to send a Domain Name Service (DNS) request for geofence information over a network;
- at least one unique Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to at least one geocode, wherein the at least one unique IP address represents a point on or within a geofence;
- wherein one or more of the at least one unique IP address includes a domain name translatable to a geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one fencing agent is operable to receive a Domain Name Service (DNS) response to the DNS request;
- wherein each of the at least one geocode and the at least one geofence is assigned at least one subdomain name and/or at least one domain name;
- wherein a plurality of metadata are linked to the at least one geofence;
- and
- wherein a search engine is configured to receive the DNS request from the at least one device over the network and identify whether a geocode is within the at least one geofence, wherein the geocode is directly translated to coordinate points through the lookup table or indirectly translated to the coordinate points through an algorithm.
