  • Systems and methods for using a location-based field of view associated with a virtual location marker
    Patent number: 11880942
    Abstract: An exemplary method includes a proximity detection system that accesses information associated with a virtual location marker positioned in relation to a geographic area. The information defines a location-based field of view (“LFOV”) that extends directionally from the virtual location marker. The proximity detection system further tracks a location of a mobile computing device at the geographic area and determines, based on the information associated with the virtual location marker and the location of the mobile computing device, that the mobile computing device has entered the LFOV that extends directionally from the virtual location marker.
