Location-based verification of user requests and generation of notifications on mobile devices

A method comprising:

• generating a user image depicting a target object;
• determining a location associated with a mobile device;
• outputting one or more target object identifiers for user selection based on the location associated with the mobile device;
• receiving a user selection of a particular target object identifier of the one or more target object identifiers, wherein the particular target object identifier is associated with the target object depicted in the user image, and wherein the particular target object identifier is associated with a geographical location that is proximate to the location associated with the mobile device;
• storing linking information between a first user account associated with the mobile device and the target object on a remote storage device;
• and
• outputting a notification on a display of the mobile device, wherein the notification comprises information associated with a second user account that is associated with the target object.

Non-transitory physical computer storage storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, configure the one or more processors to:

• generate, using a camera module of the computing device, a user image depicting a target object;
• determine, using a location determination module of the computing device, a location associated with the computing device;
• output one or more target object identifiers for user selection based on the location associated with the computing device;
• receive a user selection of a particular target object identifier of the one or more target object identifiers, wherein the particular target object identifier is associated with the target object depicted in the user image, and wherein the particular target object identifier is associated with a geographical location that is proximate to the location associated with the computing device;
• cause linking information between a first user account associated with the computing device and the target object to be stored on a remote storage device;
• and
• cause a notification to be outputted, wherein the notification comprises information associated with a second user account that is associated with the target object.
