Abstract
The present disclosure provides method and system to facilitate definition, tuning and visualization of a geo-fence at a computer system. The method comprises receiving an application program interface (API) call from the computer system, and in response to the API call, enabling the computer system to display a user interface (UI) on a display screen of the second computer system. The UI includes a first region and a second region, the first region including a plurality of screen areas for receiving input parameters for defining the geo-fence via a user input device of the computer system, and a second region is configured to display the geo-fence over a map of a geographical region around a location specified in the input parameters. The method further comprises, in response to receiving user inputs in the second region, generating the geo-fence based on the input parameters and mobile device events data stored in an electronic storage. The method further comprises causing the geo-fence to be displayed over the map in the second region of the UI.
