Techniques to manage client location detection are described. In one embodiment an apparatus may comprise a location-based services support component and a client management component. The location-based services support component may be operative to determine that a network service is scheduled for a location update from a mobile device, determine a location accuracy based on the network service, and update the network service with a received location of the mobile device. The client management component may be operative to transmit a location request to the mobile device, the location request specifying the location accuracy determined based on the network service and receive a response to the location request from the mobile device, the response comprising the location of the mobile device conforming to the specified location accuracy. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques to manage client location detection

In one embodiment, a method includes determining a first geographic location of a client computer of a first user, receiving one or more first meet-up preferences from the first user, and identifying a second user based on one or more notification rules and the first meet-up preferences. The second user may be associated with one or more second meet-up preferences. After sending a first notification to the client computer of the first user and a second notification to the client computer of the second user based on the first meet-up preferences and the second meet-up preferences, the method further includes receiving a first opt-in response from the first user, receiving a second opt-in response from the second user, and sending a first meet-up confirmation to the first user and a second meet-up confirmation to the second user.

Two-way meet-up notifications

In an electronic device, a first application sends a request to a second application for access by the first application to a resource of the electronic device, wherein the first and second applications run on an operating system of the electronic device. In response to the first request, the second application is used to ask a user of the electronic device for permission for the first application to access the resource. A first user input is received, providing permission for the first application to access the resource. In response to the first user input, the second application is used to grant permission to the first application to access the resource.
