Abstract
A geolocation system determines a location of a user mobile device. The geolocation system identifies a hot desk policy associated with the location of the user mobile device and automatically configures a workspace according to the hot desk policy associated with the location of the user mobile device.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- determining a location of a user mobile device;
- comparing the location of the user mobile device to a workspace location represented in a hot desk policy;
- in response to the location of the user mobile device matching the workspace location, identifying, by a processing device, the hot desk policy associated with the workspace location;
- identifying a security policy associated with the location of the user mobile device;
- verifying the location of the user mobile device with data from an application associated with a user by determining that the application indicates an expected location of the user that matches the location of the user mobile device;
- configuring a workspace at the workspace location according to the hot desk policy associated with the workspace location, wherein the workspace is separate from the user mobile device;
- and
- configuring a security system at the workspace location to grant access to the user of the user mobile device according to the security policy.
