Abstract: Methods and systems for managing real estate permissions are disclosed. At least one user device is in network communication with a server platform. The server platform comprises a database storing at least one master key associated with at least one piece of real estate. The at least one user device is operable to unlock the at least one master key by at least one corresponding slave key for permission. The at least one user device is operable to function within the at least one piece of real estate based on obtained permission. At least one geofence is associated with the at least one piece of real estate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle registration are disclosed. A server computer and at least one database are constructed and configured for network communication with at least one vehicle. The at least one vehicle transmits a registration request to the server computer. The server computer assigns a unique registration ID for the at least one vehicle. The at least one database comprises a geofence database storing information of a multiplicity of registered geofences. Each of the multiplicity of registered geofences comprises a plurality of geographic designators defined by a plurality of unique Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses. One of the plurality of unique IPv6 addresses is encoded as a unique identifier for each of the multiplicity of registered geofences. The server computer caches the information of the multiplicity of registered geofences on the at least one vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods of registering geocodes with a geofence and delivering geocodes which define geofences to devices are described herein. Geocodes include strings of words, letters, numbers, and combinations thereof. Geocodes associated with the same or similar geofences are cohesive and provide for improved location information, with IP addresses being assigned to the geocodes.
