Abstract
A computer-implemented method performed by a computing device having a processor operatively coupled to a memory, the method comprising storing a plurality of geofences in the memory along with addresses of servers associated with each of the geofences, receiving current location data from a mobile device, the current location data representing a current location of the mobile device, comparing the current location data with each of the plurality of geofences to determine whether data is to be obtained from one or more of the servers associated with each of the geofences, if the data is to be obtained, obtaining the data from the one or more servers, and transmitting the data to the mobile device.
