Abstract
A system allows users of wireless mobile terminals to set reminders, alerts, or other actions to be triggered based on location or dynamics. Such location information may include, but is not limited to, a specific location description such as latitude, longitude and a radius describing a generally circular region in which the terminal is located. The system monitors the location information until the programmed conditions are satisfied. Once the location condition is satisfied the system of the present invention triggers the programmed reminder.
