Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- store, within a first device, a data structure comprising a portion of a message and location information, wherein the location information identifies an area associated with the message;
- determine a location of the first device;
- and
- transmit the data structure to a second device when the determination of the location of the first device indicates that the first device is no longer located within the area associated with the message.
A method, comprising:
- storing, within a first device, a data structure comprising a portion of a message and location information, wherein the location information identifies an area associated with the message;
- determining a location of the first device;
- and
- transmitting the data structure to a second device when the determination of the location of the first device indicates that the first device is no longer located within the area associated with the message.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
- storing, within a first device, a data structure comprising a portion of a message and location information identifying an area associated with the message;
- determining a location of the first device;
- and
- transmitting the data structure to a second device when the determination of the location of the first device indicates that the first device is no longer located within the area associated with the message.
