Abstract:
1. A method of providing location-based services, the method comprising: receiving a first location criterion from a server at a wireless device; receiving a second location criterion from the server at the wireless device; evaluating whether a physical location of the wireless device satisfies the first location criterion and whether the physical location of the wireless device satisfies the second location criterion, wherein the evaluating is performed by the wireless device; when the first location criterion is satisfied, transmitting a first indication from the wireless device to the server that the first location criterion has been satisfied; after transmitting the first indication to the server that the first location criterion has been satisfied, receiving a first message from the server at the wireless device; when the second location criterion is satisfied, transmitting a second indication from the wireless device to the server that the second location criterion has been satisfied; and after transmitting the second indication to the server that the second location criterion has been satisfied, receiving a second message from the server at the wireless device, wherein the second message is different from the first message; wherein the evaluation is repeated by the wireless device at a first frequency and wherein the frequency of the evaluation is changed to a second frequency in response to at least one of a temporal criterion and a spatial criterion, wherein each of the first frequency and the second frequency defines a number of evaluations per unit time.
