Abstract
A computer-implemented method of providing an alert based on user location. An indication of a second user is received from a first user. It is determined whether the first user and the second user are co-members of a telecommunication carrier service plan. Location information of the first user and location information of the second user is received. A distance between the first user and the second user is determined based on the location information of the first user and the location information of the second user. The first user is alerted responsive to the distance between the first user and the second user exceeding a predetermined threshold. A system for providing an alert based on user location or user motion state is also provided.
