Abstract: An improved system and method for defining an event based upon an object location and a user-defined zone and managing the conveyance of object location event information among computing devices where object location events are defined in terms of a condition based upon a relationship between user-defined zone information and object location information. One or more location information sources are associated with an object to provide the object location information. One or more user-defined zones are defined on a map and one or more object location events are defined. The occurrence of an object location event produces object location event information that is conveyed to users based on user identification codes. Accessibility to object location information, zone information, and object location event information is based upon an object location information access code, a zone information access code, and an object location event information access code, respectively.

Abstract: A network system can transmit notification data to a user device to cause the user device to present a contextual notification that can remind the user to interact with the network-based service. The notification data can be selectively transmitted and the notification can be selectively presented based on a determined likelihood of the user submitting a service request within a given time period. A metric representative of such a likelihood can be determined for the user based on historical data associated with the network-based service. The metric can be compared against one or more threshold values. In response to a user interaction with the notification, the user device can present a request user interface for a streamlined and simplified user experience in submitting a service request.

Abstract: A subset of geofences is selected from a set of geofences operating in an area, each geofence in the subset satisfying a primary consideration relative to at least one other geofence in the subset. In response to a first payload of a first geofence and a second payload of a second geofence satisfying a secondary consideration, a combined geofence definition is formed by combining a first definition of the first geofence with a second definition of the second geofence. At a data processing system distinct from a mobile device traveling in the area, the first payload is combined with the second payload to form a combined payload. The combined geofence definition and the combined payload are transmitted to the mobile device.
