Location-based notifications

A system for providing location-based notifications, the system comprising:

• an input device configured to receive a speech recognition component of a request to create a location-based notification, and a speech recording component of the request to create the location-based notification;
• a location detection device;
• an output device configured to replay the speech recording component of the request to create the location-based notification;
• and
• a processor in communication with the input device, the output device and the location detection device for facilitating:
• receiving a request from the input device to create a location-based notification, wherein the request includes the speech recognition component and the speech recording component;
• determining a current location of the input device using the location detection device, the determining in response to receiving the request;
• setting a reminder location responsive to the current location of the input device;
• creating the location-based notification and associating it with the reminder location;
• determining a new current location of the input device using the location detection device on a periodic basis;
• comparing the new current location to the reminder location;
• and
• providing the notification via the output device if the new current location is within a proximity threshold of the reminder location, including replaying the speech recording component.

A computer-readable medium for providing location-based notifications, the computer-readable medium including instructions for causing a processing circuit to implement a method, comprising:

• receiving a request from an input device to create a location-based notification, wherein the request includes a speech recognition component configured to initiate the request and a speech recording component configured to be replayed;
• determining a current location of the input device in response to receiving the request;
• setting a reminder location responsive to the current location of the input device;
• creating the location-based notification and associating it with the reminder location;
• determining a new current location of the input device on a periodic basis;
• comparing the new current location to the reminder location;
• and
• providing the notification if the new current location is within a proximity threshold of the reminder location, including replaying the speech recording component.
