Abstract: A geofence management system obtains location data for points of interest. The geofence management system determines, at the option of the user, the location of a user mobile computing device relative to specific points of interest and alerts the user when the user nears the points of interest. The geofence management system, however, determines relationships among the identified points of interest, and associates or “clusters” the points of interest together based on the determined relationships. Rather than establishing separate geofences for multiple points of interest, and then alerting the user each time the user's mobile device enters each geofence boundary, the geofence management system establishes a single geofence boundary for the associated points of interest. When the user's mobile device enters the clustered geofence boundary, the geofence management system notifies the user device to alert the user of the entrance event. The user then receives the clustered, geofence-based alert.

Abstract: Receiving point of interest zones and alerts on user devices comprises communicating, by a user computing device to a remote computing device, a request for point of interest data corresponding to points of interest within a proximity of the user device; presenting the received point of interest data; identifying a particular point of interest; and outputting an alert regarding the particular point of interest. Receiving point of interest zones on user devices comprises communicating a request for point of interest data; receiving the point of interest data from the remote network device wherein a size of the point of interest zone is determined based on a density of points of interest in the proximity of the user, and wherein the shape of the point of interest zone is expanded in a direction of travel and contracted in the opposite direction; and presenting the received point of interest data.

Abstract: A solution for cooperative data prefetching that enables software control of a memory-side data prefetch and/or a processor-side data prefetch is provided. In one embodiment, the invention provides a solution for generating an application, in which access to application data for the application is improved (e.g., optimized) in program code for the application. In particular, a push request, for performing a memory-side data prefetch of the application data, and a prefetch request, for performing a processor-side data prefetch, are added to the program code. The memory-side data prefetch results in the application data being copied from a first data store to a second data store that is faster than the first data store while the processor-side data prefetch results in the application data being copied from the second data store to a third data store that is faster than the second data store.
