Location-based messaging

A mobile device for location based communications, the mobile device comprising:

• a user input module configured to:
• receive a first recipient selection input identifying a second mobile device, wherein the first mobile device is different than the second mobile device and the second mobile device is associated with a first identifier value;
• receive a first content message associated with the first recipient selection input;
• and
• receive a first geofence input associated with the first content message, wherein the first geofence input identifies a first delivery area;
• a messaging module communicatively coupled to the user input module, wherein the messaging module is configured with at least one processor and a memory of the mobile device, and the messaging module is configured to:
• access the first identifier value in response to the first recipient selection input;
• and
• generate a location based message from the first identifier value, the first content message, and the first geofence input;
• and
• initiate communication of the first content message as part of the location based message from the first mobile device to the second mobile device via a network, wherein the first content message is configured for presentation on the second mobile device when the second mobile device is within the first delivery area;
• wherein the user input module is configured to receive the first geofence input associated with the first content message as part of a configuration to:
• display a map interface on a touch screen of the first mobile device;
• receive a location selection via the touch screen displaying the map interface, the location selection identifying a point within the first delivery area;
• receive a delivery radius input on the touch screen displaying the map interface, wherein the delivery radius defines, at least in part, a boundary of the first delivery area;
• and
• display a visual indicator of the location selection and the delivery radius on the touch screen display.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed by at least on processor of a mobile device, cause the mobile device to:

• receive, at a input device of a mobile device, a first recipient selection input identifying a second mobile device, wherein the mobile device is different than the second mobile device and the second mobile device is associated with a first identifier value;
• receive, at the input device, a first content message associated with the first recipient selection input;
• receive, at the input device, a first geofence input associated with the first content message, wherein the first geofence input identifies a first delivery area;
• initiate communication of the first content message from the mobile device to the second mobile device via a network, wherein the first content message is configured for presentation on the second mobile device when the second mobile device is within the first delivery area;
• wherein the instructions cause the mobile device to receive the first geofence input associated with the first content message by causing the device to:
• display a map interface on a touch screen of the first mobile device;
• receive a location selection via the touch screen displaying the map interface, the location selection identifying a point within the first delivery area;
• receive a delivery radius input on the touch screen displaying the map interface, wherein the delivery radius defines, at least in part, a boundary of the first delivery area;
• and
• display a visual indicator of the location selection and the delivery radius on the touch screen display.
