Abstract

Location based geo-reminding system retrieves, from a location based geo-reminder physical server, a current location of wireless client devices within a given area. The method accesses, from the location based geo-reminder physical server, a physical location based geo-reminder database comprising an identity of a trigger identifier and a limits of trigger identifier. Transmission of a location based geo-reminder message is initiated if the current location of a particular wireless client device is within a limits of restriction distance from a location of the identity of the trigger.

Claims (30)

1. A method of location based geo-reminders, comprising:

accessing, from a physical location based geo-reminder database, a trigger identifier identifying a user-defined time at which a location based geo-reminder message regarding a user-defined task is to be transmitted; and

triggering transmission at said user-defined time of said location based geo-reminder message regarding a user-defined task, to a particular wireless client device, when said particular wireless client device interacts with a cellular tower when said wireless client device is within a pre-defined limit of restriction to a location defined for said location based geo-reminder message;

wherein said pre-defined limit of restriction is identified by a pre-defined radius distance.

2. The method of location based geo-reminders according to claim 1 , wherein said trigger identifier comprises:

a mobile identification number (MIN).

3. The method of location based geo-reminders according to claim 1 , wherein said trigger identifier comprises:

a mobile telephone number.

4. The method of location based geo-reminders according to claim 1 , wherein said location based geo-reminder message comprises:

an email message.

5. A location based geo-reminder server, comprising:

a physical location based geo-reminder database comprising a trigger identifier identifying a user-defined time at which a location based geo-reminder message regarding a user-defined task is to be transmitted; and

a location based geo-reminder module to trigger transmission at said user-defined time of said location based geo-reminder message regarding a user-defined task, to a particular wireless client device, when said particular wireless client device interacts with a cellular tower when said wireless client device is within a pre-defined limit of restriction to a location defined for said location based geo-reminder message;

wherein said pre-defined limit of restriction is identified by a pre-defined radius distance.

6. The location based geo-reminder server according to claim 5 , wherein said trigger identifier comprises:

a mobile identification number (MIN).

7. The location based geo-reminder server according to claim 5 , wherein said trigger identifier comprises:

a mobile telephone number.

8. The location based geo-reminder server according to claim 5 , wherein said location based geo-reminder message comprises:

an email message.

9. A method of location based geo-reminders, comprising:

accessing, from a physical location based geo-reminder database, a trigger identifier identifying a user-defined time at which a location based geo-reminder message regarding a user-defined task is to be transmitted; and

triggering transmission at said user-defined time of said location based geo-reminder message regarding a user-defined task, to a particular wireless client device, when said particular wireless client device interacts with a cellular tower when said wireless client device is within a pre-defined limit of restriction to a location defined for said location based geo-reminder message;

wherein said pre-defined limit of restriction is identified by a pre-defined reminder zone.

10. The method of location based geo-reminders according to claim 9 , wherein said trigger identifier comprises:

a mobile identification number (MIN).

11. The method of location based geo-reminders according to claim 9 , wherein said trigger identifier comprises:

a mobile telephone number.

12. The method of location based geo-reminders according to claim 9 , wherein said location based geo-reminder message comprises:

an email message.
