Abstract
A method of location based proximity alert retrieves, from a location based proximity alert physical server, a current location of wireless client devices and determines if it is within a given area. The method accesses, from the location based proximity alert physical server, a physical law enforcement database comprising a restraining order target identifier and a restraining order limit identifier. A geo-proximity alert message is transmitted if the current location of the restraining order target identifier matches the restraining order limit identifier.
Claims13
A method of providing location-based proximity alert services, comprising:
- retrieving, by a location-based proximity alert physical server, a current location of a wireless client device, said current location being based on call-routing information associated with said wireless client device, said call-routing information being registered in a location device servicing said wireless client device device, and said wireless client device associated with a given restraining order target identifier from a plurality of restraining order target identifiers;
- accessing a law enforcement database comprising said plurality of restraining order target identifiers, each associated with a corresponding restraining order limit identifier, to obtain a relevant restraining order limit identifier associated with said given restraining order target identifier;
- and
- generating a geo-proximity alert message when said current location is within a prohibited geographic area associated with said given restraining order target identifier.
A location-based proximity alert physical server, comprising:
- a law enforcement database access module to access a physical law enforcement database comprising a plurality of restraining order target identifiers each associated with a given restraining order limit identifier;
- a location access module, at said location-based proximity alert physical server, to retrieve a current location of a wireless client device, said current location being based on call-routing information associated with said wireless client device, said call-routing information being registered in a location device servicing said wireless client device, and said wireless client device associated with a given restraining order target identifier from said plurality of restraining order target identifiers;
- and
- a restraining order violation module to generate a geo-proximity alert message when said current location for a restraining order target enters a prohibited geographic area associated with said given restraining order limit identifier.
