Location based proximity alert

1. A method of providing location-based proximity alert services, comprising:

retrieving, by a location-based proximity alert physical server, a current location of a given wireless device, said current location being based on call-routing information which is retrieved from a location device servicing said given wireless device;

retrieving, from a prohibited area database comprising a plurality of target identifiers, each target identifier being associated with a respective wireless device, a given target identifier being associated with said given wireless device; and

generating a geo-proximity alert message when a current location of said given wireless device is within a prohibited geographic area associated with said given target identifier.

2. The method of providing location-based proximity alert services according to claim 1 , wherein:

said given target identifier is a mobile identification number (MIN).

3. The method of providing location-based proximity alert services according to claim 1 , wherein:

said given target identifier is a mobile telephone number.

4. The method of providing location-based proximity alert services according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a distance between said wireless device associated with said given target identifier, and a requesting wireless device requesting said geo-proximity alert message.

5. The method of providing location-based proximity alert services according to claim 1 , wherein:

said prohibited geographic area associated with said given target identifier is defined by a perimeter around a given school.

6. The method of providing location-based proximity alert services according to claim 1 , wherein:

said prohibited geographic area associated with said given target identifier is defined by a perimeter around a given park.

7. The method of providing location-based proximity alert services according to claim 1 , wherein:

said geo-proximity alert message is an email message.

8. A location-based proximity alert physical server, comprising:

a location-based proximity alert physical server retriever to retrieve a current location of a given wireless device, said current location being based on call-routing information which is retrieved from a location device servicing said given wireless device, and to retrieve a particular target identifier associated with said given wireless device from a prohibited area database comprising a plurality of target identifiers; and

a violation module to generate a geo-proximity alert message when a current location of said given wireless device is within a prohibited geographic area associated with said particular target identifier.

9. The location-based proximity alert physical server according to claim 8 , wherein:

said particular target identifier is a mobile identification number (MIN).

10. The location-based proximity alert physical server according to claim 8 , wherein:

said violation module generates said geo-proximity alert message when said given wireless device associated with said particular target identifier is less than a preconfigured minimum distance from another wireless device requesting said geo-proximity alert message.

11. The location-based proximity alert physical server according to claim 8 , wherein:

said prohibited geographic area associated with said particular target identifier is defined by a perimeter around a given school.

12. The location-based proximity alert physical server according to claim 8 , wherein:

said prohibited geographic area associated with said particular target identifier is defined by a perimeter around a given park.

13. The location-based proximity alert physical server according to claim 8 , wherein:

said geo-proximity alert message is an email message.
