A geofence involves creating virtual fences around real-world geographic entities. It can be either a dynamically created geofence or predefined boundaries. In a dynamic geofence, the boundaries are created based on a chosen point location and can be created on the fly. This depends on, for example, the current location of a user. In contrast, a static geofence is when predetermined boundaries are used, for example, danger zones, city centers, or a parole exclusionary zone.
Geofencing, on the other hand, contains a geofence and some other components including GPS locations, geometry topologies, and notification systems and entails the use of these components to a certain application. Here, the interaction and use of these components are what enables geofence concepts to be used in wide domain applications. As precise GPS locations with smartphones become ubiquitous...
