  • Patent number: 11070940
    Abstract: A mesh network includes a source node and non-source nodes. The source node generates geofenced message information defining a geofenced message for one or more non-source nodes within a geofence. The source node transmits the geofenced message information for reception by a non-source node within a communication range of the source node. The non-source node, responsive to receiving the geofenced message information, transmits the geofenced message information for reception by other non-source nodes within a communication range of the non-source node. Based on the location of the non-source node being within the geofence, the non-source node presents the geofenced message. Based on the location of the non-source node being within the geofence, the non-source node does not presents the geofenced message.

  • Patent number: 10993077
    Abstract: A method of identifying a current location, performed by a server having wireless communication with a terminal, includes receiving from the terminal, surrounding environment information input in natural language by a user; performing natural language processing on the surrounding environment information to extract place information about a reference place input by the user and positional relationship information about a positional relationship between the reference place and the user; searching a map database for the reference place corresponding to the place information; estimating a candidate region in which the user is likely to be located, based on the searched-for reference place and the positional relationship information; and determining the candidate region as the user's current location. Because the current location is identified based on the surrounding environment information input by the user, the user's current location can be identified more accurately.
