  • Patent number: 11350283
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are disclosed to enable location verification and tracking, for use or access of a geographic-specific phone number or similar location feature of a communications service by a mobile computing device at (or within) a geographic location or defined area. In an example, verification of a use of the device at the location or area is enabled by the receipt and collection of location verification data for a token having location verification and time data, with such location verification data being communicated via a short-range wireless network. The verification is enabled by communication of the token to a communications service for device identification and location registration, and assess to a resource based on registered use of the communications device at the geographic location. In further examples, capabilities for security, verification, and auditing of location information is enabled with use of the token and location information.
