Use Case Review: On-Location “Exit” Radius Reminder
- A young couple, Mary and Joseph have had their two babies. The couple didn’t take a vacation for 3 years straight, but now they can set off to Hawaii, taking their 3-year old kids with them.
- While the trip is still a month away, a lot of preparation should be done, including purchasing new clothes and swimsuits necessary for the trip.
- Mary has decided to buy some swimwear for the kids including goggles and inflatable vests. These items are not considered of the high priority purchases. Mary plans to visit sports & outdoors section whenever she has a free time.
- Mary creates a task and shares it with Joseph. She assigns to the task location-dependent reminder. On the upcoming weekend, Mary and Joseph do their weekend shopping and when they live 1-mile radius of the shopping center, the “buy goggles and inflatable vests” reminder goes off.
- On their way home, Joseph drives to the designated sports store and gets the items.
The “exit” radius on-location reminder is highly beneficial for the users. It allows to get things done fast, including the purchase of the much wanted goggles for the upcoming trip.
