Geofences — Patent Relationship
A defined geographic region, device presence, a business location and conditional communication — the observed alignment with Foursquare's geofencing surface.
Defined geographic region · device presence inside the region · business location · conditional communication · automatic event creation · notification or commercial content delivery.
Venue, chain, category, coordinate, radius and polygon geofences with entry/exit events used to gate downstream activation.
The publicly described geofencing surface appears well aligned with the patent's defined-region concept, particularly when combined with Proximity and Audience.
LimitationTime-based conditions at the individual-user level require deeper evidence and are marked as Further Technical Review Required.
