Patent attributes
A privacy enhanced system and method of using a handheld computerized device to store and retrieve geofence based notifications, without requiring that any of the specific geofenced regions or notifications be reported on a remote server. The system enables the user to both manually draw the desired geofences on the device's touchscreen, as well as directly load the geofence associated notifications (such as various images) into the device in advance. Other constraints and executable code can also be input and associated as desired. In use, the system automatically triggers when its location sensors detect that the device is within a geofenced region, and if the constraints are satisfied, can automatically retrieve the desired notifications. In some embodiments, the system can use previously stored executable code to automatically generate additional geofence regions and notifications.
