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 one first device constructed and configured for communication with at least one peer device;
- wherein the at least one first device comprises at least one first processor coupled with at least one first memory;
- wherein the at least one peer device comprises at least one second memory;
- wherein the at least one second memory is operable to cache geofence data;
- wherein the at least one first processor is operable to convert between an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a location within a geographic region;
- and
- wherein the at least one peer device is operable to deliver the geofence data to the at least one first device.
A method for geofence information delivery, comprising:
- at least one first processor of at least one first device querying at least one peer device for geofence data cached in at least one memory of the at least one peer device;
- the at least one first processor converting between an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a location in a geographic region;
- and
- the at least one peer device delivering the geofence data to the at least one first device;
- wherein the geofence data is associated with the geographic region.
A system for geofence information delivery, comprising:
- at least one first device constructed and configured for communication with at least one peer device;
- wherein the at least one first device comprises at least one first processor coupled with at least one first memory;
- wherein the at least one peer device comprises at least one second memory;
- wherein the at least one first processor is operable to convert between a unique identifier and a location within a geographic region;
- and
- wherein the at least one peer device is operable to deliver the geofence data to the at least one first device.
