Abstract
Embodiments of these location-based systems and methods for device interaction may allow a content delivery system to provide certain content to a device, or restrict certain content from being delivered to the device, based on the location of the device. When a user requests certain content the location of the device may be determined and compared against an access control list defining a set or rules regarding that content to determine if the requested content may be accessed from that location. If the content may be accessed from this location the content may be delivered, otherwise an error message, or another option, may be delivered to the device. Similarly, the location of a device may be utilized to tailor the delivery of content to a device, such that content may be provided to a user based on the user's location, in certain cases with little or no stimulus from the user.
