Abstract
A first mobile device receives a request to send information updates from the first mobile device to the second mobile device, the request specifying a predefined geographical region. In response to the request, the first mobile device checks its current location and determines whether the current location is within the predefined geographical region. After determining that the current location of the first mobile device is within the predefined geographical region, the first mobile device sends a first information update to the second mobile device. Subsequently, the first mobile device sends a second information update to the second mobile device after determining that the current location of the first mobile device is outside the predefined geographical region.
