Initiating communication based on a device location-independent location trigger

Abstract:

In certain embodiments, initiation of a location-triggered communication with a user may be facilitated. Communication may be initiated with a user (e.g., on a mobile device) based on an occurrence of a location trigger corresponding to a destination location at which the communication is to be initiated. The occurrence of the location trigger indicates the user is likely on the way to the destination location. The occurrence may be predicted based on mobile device location-independent user location information obtained from a data stream of a real-time application. For example, an event location and an event time of an event associated with the user may be extracted from the data stream and used to predict the occurrence.
