Abstract
Methods performed by a processor of a computing device for managing functionality of the computing device to interact with field equipment may include determining by the processor a location of field equipment based on information obtained by the processor proximate to the field equipment, determining by the processor a location of the computing device based on geolocation information, determining whether the location of the field equipment based on information obtained by the processor proximate to the field equipment and the location of the computing device based on geolocation information are within a threshold distance, verifying the location of the field equipment in response to determining that the location of the field equipment based on information obtained by the processor proximate to the field equipment and the location of the computing device based on geolocation information are within the threshold distance, and enabling functionality of the computing device to interact with the field equipment in response to verifying the location of the field equipment.
