BOUNDARY-SPECIFIC ELECTRONIC OFFERS
In an approach to determining a boundary-specific offer, one or more computer processors determine a user of a mobile device is within a pre-defined physical boundary. The one or more computer processors determine a first notification of an offer corresponding to the pre-defined physical boundary. The one or more computer processors send the first notification of the offer to the mobile device. The one or more computer processors determine whether the user of the mobile device moved outside of the pre-defined physical boundary. In response to determining the user of the mobile device moved outside of the pre-defined physical boundary, the one or more computer processors invalidate the offer.
1 . A method for determining a boundary-specific electronic offer, the method comprising:
determining, by one or more computer processors, a mobile device of a user is within a pre-defined physical boundary, wherein the pre-defined physical boundary is defined by at least one of a location within a radius of a specific distance of one or more transceiver devices that transmit a beacon signal in a venue and GPS coordinates, and wherein determining the user of a mobile device is within a pre-defined physical boundary further comprises detecting, by the one or more computer processors, the mobile device resides in a pre-defined location for a pre-defined period of time;
determining, by the one or more computer processors, a first notification of a first offer corresponding to the pre-defined physical boundary;
sending, by the one or more computer processors, the first notification of the first offer to the mobile device, wherein the first offer includes an expiratory location;
determining, by the one or more computer processors, the mobile device is within a pre-defined threshold distance of the pre-defined physical boundary;
responsive to determining the mobile device is within a pre-defined threshold distance of the pre-defined physical boundary, determining, by the one or more computer processors, the first offer is not redeemed;
sending, by the one or more computer processors, a second notification to the mobile device, wherein the second notification alerts the user that the first offer included in the first notification expires when the mobile device leaves the pre-defined physical boundary, and wherein the second notification includes a second offer for a discount reduced from the first offer after the mobile device leaves the pre-defined physical boundary;
determining, by the one or more computer processors, whether the mobile device moved outside of the pre-defined physical boundary; and
responsive to determining the mobile device moved outside of the pre-defined physical boundary, invalidating, by the one or more computer processors, the first offer.
