Abstract

A computer implemented method include detecting a location of a wireless device, receiving an identification of a property proximate the detected location, receiving an associated property restriction as a function of the detected location of the device, applying an indication of the restriction to the property, and providing a display indicating the property and the associated restriction via the device.

Claims (41)

1. A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving a location in the form of GPS coordinates of a mobile wireless device from the mobile wireless device at a remote computer;

receiving an identification of a property proximate to the received location based on the received GPS coordinates;

receiving an associated property entrance restriction as a function of the received location of the mobile wireless device, the associated property entrance restriction being identified based on a distribution list and a user identified by the mobile wireless device; and

providing an augmented reality view of the property that includes one or more attributes representative of the associated restriction via the mobile wireless device, the one or more attributes being indicative of whether the associated property entrance restriction is a temporary restriction or an application-specific restriction.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 wherein the display provides an augmented reality view of a property line of the property with the associated restriction.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1 wherein the associated restriction is displayed as a no trespassing indication and further comprises an audible notification.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1 wherein the associated restriction comprises a restriction dependent on time of day.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 1 wherein the associated restriction is alternatively identified based on a social media group and the user identified by the mobile wireless device.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1 wherein the associated restriction is correlated with business hours of the property.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1 and further comprising:

receiving an indication of a transaction conducted by a user of the mobile wireless device associated with the identified property; and

modifying the displayed restriction to be indicative of granting permission to the user to play a game within the property.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 1 wherein the received indication of the property is received from a wireless tag placed proximate the property.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 1 wherein the user is permitted access to the property subject to the associated property restriction and the display indicating the property and the associated property restriction notifies the user of the restriction applied to the property.

10. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the associated property entrance restriction is accessible in storage by a tenant device for setting or modifying the associated property entrance restriction, the tenant, device being associated with a tenant of the property.

11. A computing device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device coupled to the processor having instructions stored thereon executable by the processor to, at least:

receive a location in the form of GPS coordinates of a mobile wireless device from the mobile wireless device at a remote computer;

receive an identification of a property proximate to the received location based on the received GPS coordinates;

receive an associated property entrance restriction as a function of the received location of the mobile wireless device, the associated property entrance restriction being identified based on a distribution list and a user identified by the mobile wireless device; and

provide an augmented reality view of the property that includes one or more attributes representative of the associated restriction via the mobile wireless device, the one or more attributes being indicative of whether the associated property entrance restriction is a temporary restriction and whether the associated property entrance restriction is an application-specific restriction.

12. The computing device of claim 11 wherein the display provides an augmented reality view of a property line of the property with the associated restriction.

13. The computing device of claim 11 wherein the associated restriction is displayed as a no trespassing indication.

14. The computing device of claim 11 wherein the associated restriction comprises a restriction dependent on time of day.

15. The computing device of claim 14 wherein the associated restriction is alternatively identified based on a social media group and the user identified by the mobile wireless device.

16. The computing device of claim 11 wherein the associated restriction is correlated with business hours of the property, and wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an indication of a transaction conducted by a user of the mobile wireless device associated with the identified property; and

modifying the displayed restriction to be indicative of granting permission to the user to play a game within the property.

17. A machine readable storage device that is not a transitory signal, having instructions that are executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a location in the form of GPS coordinates of a mobile wireless device from the mobile wireless device at a remote computer;

receiving an identification of a property entrance proximate to the received location based on the received GPS coordinates;

receiving an associated property restriction as a function of the received location of the mobile wireless device, the associated property entrance restriction being identified based on a distribution list and a user identified by the mobile wireless device;

applying an indication of the restriction to the property; and

providing an augmented reality view of the property that includes one or more attributes representative of the associated restriction via the mobile wireless device, the one or more attributes being indicative of whether the associated property entrance restriction is a temporary restriction and whether the associated property entrance restriction is an application-specific restriction.

18. The machine readable storage device of claim 17 wherein the display provides an augmented reality view of a property line of the property with the associated restriction, wherein the associated restriction is displayed as a no trespassing indication, and wherein the associated restriction comprises a restriction dependent on time of day.

19. The machine readable storage device of claim 17 wherein the associated restriction is alternatively identified based on a social media group and the user identified by the mobile wireless device.

20. The machine readable storage device of claim 17 wherein the associated restriction is correlated with business hours of the property and wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an indication of a transaction conducted by a user of the mobile wireless device associated with the identified property; and

modifying the displayed restriction to be indicative of granting permission to the user to play a game within the property.
