Systems and methods for content placement, retrieval and management based on geolocation and other parameters
The present invention is in the technical field of geolocation. More particularly, the present invention is in the technical field of making content in the form of electronic data available for retrieval when a device has satisfied the Retrieval Range and other Rules which govern the ability to retrieve the content. Retrieval of Content by user devices may be based on Rules communicated by an App, Admin or third party interface and shall be contained and processed by an application interface engine.
1. A method of receiving monetary value based on the attendance of an individual at a geolocation comprising the steps of:
providing a server and an application running on the server;
defining a geolocation holding an event associated with a first user, wherein the event comprises a geofence defined by the application on the server, wherein the geofence is a virtual boundary on a virtual map representing a boundary around an actual physical location;
providing a second user having a mobile computing device, wherein the mobile computing device is in communication with the server having the application;
tracking the second user's location on the virtual map by tracking the second user's mobile computing device's actual physical location using a geographic location tracking mechanism on the mobile computing device; and
charging the first user a monetary amount when the second user's location on the virtual map enters the geofence associated with the event, thereby representing that the second user's mobile computing device is located near the event.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
inviting the second user to the geofence using the application on the server.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the step of inviting the second user is based on at least one of: matching the second user's interests with parameters defining the event, the second user's proximity to the first users, and the second user's previous attendance at the geolocation.
4. The method of claim 2 wherein the step of inviting the second user is based on social connections with at least one other user.
5. The method of claim 2 further providing the steps of:
associating an influence score to the second user, wherein the influence score is based on prior events attended by the second user and tracked by the application, wherein the step of inviting the second user is based on the influence score.
