in response to determining that the device is present within the geo-fence:
generating a message; and
transmitting the message over a telecommunications network to the device.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the comparing is performed as a pre-processing calculation for determining whether the device is present within the geo-fence.
3. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
activating the geo-fence based on the location of the device.
4. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
activating the geo-fence based on an entity associated with the device being added to a subscriber list.
5. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
dynamically updating the plurality of coordinates defining the geo-fence based on a location parameter.
6. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting the message over a telecommunications network to another device.
7. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the message comprises a coupon.
8. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the device is present within the geo-fence, determining an identity of an entity associated with the device.
9. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein comparing the coordinate associated with the location of the device with the reduced coordinate input set comprises:
performing a mathematical operation.
10. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein comparing the coordinate associated with the location of the device with the reduced coordinate input set comprises:
performing a logical operation.
11. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the device is a mobile communications device.
12. A method, comprising:
determining, by a system comprising a processor, analogous coordinates between a plurality of coordinates defining a geo-fence and coordinates of each of a plurality of datasets, the analogous coordinates defining a reduced coordinate input set;
performing, by the system, a pre-processing operation on the reduced coordinate input set to determine whether a device is present within the geo-fence;
in response to determining that the device is present within the geo-fence:
generating a notification; and
transmitting the notification over a telecommunications network to another device.
13. The method as recited in claim 12 , further comprising:
activating the geo-fence based on a location of the device.
14. The method as recited in claim 12 , further comprising:
activating the geo-fence based on an entity associated with the device being added to a subscriber list.
15. The method as recited in claim 12 , further comprising:
dynamically updating the plurality of coordinates defining the geo-fence based on a location parameter.
16. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining analogous coordinates between a plurality of coordinates defining a geo-fence and coordinates of each of a plurality of datasets, the analogous coordinates defining a reduced coordinate input set;
comparing a coordinate associated with a location of a device with the reduced coordinate input set to determine whether the device is present within the geo-fence; and
in response to determining that the device is present within the geo-fence:
generating a message to stop operation of another device; and
transmitting the message over a telecommunications network.
17. The apparatus as recited in claim 16 , the operations further comprising:
in response to determining that the device is present within the geo-fence, determining an identity of an entity associated with the device.
18. The apparatus as recited in claim 16 , wherein comparing the coordinate associated with the location of the device with the reduced coordinate input set comprises:
performing a mathematical operation.
