  • Patent number: 8958830
    Abstract: A method and system for providing location based presence status and enhancing location privacy management in a mobile, instant messaging or social networking environment. A user specifies or saves their favorite locations (e.g. home, work, school, or particular business or point of interest locations), and specifies or selects names and/or categories to be shared for each user-specified location. In addition, the system provides multiple sharing levels for sharing multiple types of location contextual information. When user's current location corresponds to user-specified locations, location based presence status is provided to specified contacts according to the sharing level settings, and provides user the option to share location contextual information without sharing location coordinates of the user.

  • Publication number: 20120245995
    Abstract: A system for offering mobile location based advertisements based on a pay for performance method is presented. The system serves and tracks advertisements and business locations searched and viewed by a user, and can determine if the user visited the business location and performed a transaction at the location in a specified timeframe of the advertisement. The advertising costs are determined based on cost per action models such as a cost per visit (CPV) or a cost per transaction (CPT). Additionally, a system to verify user visits, advertisement codes and transactions in a local business environment is presented, which can also be used for sending an electronic receipt of the transaction to the user's mobile device.
