Abstract
A system and method for using super geo-fences to improve efficiency of geo-fences is disclosed. A system determines a geo-fence density based on a number of geo-fences in an area around a client system. In response to determining the geo-fence density is greater than a predetermined density value, the system selects a number of geo-fences that is greater than a fixed number of geo-fences that the client system is capable of handling. The system groups the selected geo-fences into a first and second group of geo-fences and generates a super geo-fence that encompasses the first group. The system transmits the first and second group of geo-fences and the super geo-fence to an application stored at the client device. The application adds geo-fence data corresponding to the second group to the client system in response to detecting the client system crossing a boundary of the super geo-fence.
