Abstract: A geofence management system obtains location data for points of interest. The geofence management system determines, at the option of the user, the location of a user mobile computing device relative to specific points of interest and alerts the user when the user nears the points of interest. The geofence management system, however, determines relationships among the identified points of interest, and associates or “clusters” the points of interest together based on the determined relationships. Rather than establishing separate geofences for multiple points of interest, and then alerting the user each time the user's mobile device enters each geofence boundary, the geofence management system establishes a single geofence boundary for the associated points of interest. When the user's mobile device enters the clustered geofence boundary, the geofence management system notifies the user device to alert the user of the entrance event. The user then receives the clustered, geofence-based alert.

Abstract translation: 地理围栏管理系统获取兴趣点的位置数据。 地理围栏管理系统可以根据用户的选择确定用户移动计算设备相对于特定兴趣点的位置，并且在用户接近兴趣点时提醒用户。 然而，地理围栏管理系统根据所确定的关系确定所识别的兴趣点之间的关系，以及关联点或“聚集”兴趣点在一起。 而不是为多个兴趣点建立单独的地理围栏，然后每当用户的移动设备进入每个地理围栏边界时提醒用户，地理围栏管理系统为相关联的兴趣点建立单一的地理围栏边界。 当用户的移动设备进入群集地理围栏边界时，地理围栏管理系统通知用户设备提醒用户入口事件。 然后，用户接收基于地理位置的群集警报。
