Abstract
Techniques are directed to controlling a mower. Such techniques involve initiating an automated mowing task that directs the mower to operate in a geographic area defined by a virtual boundary. Such techniques further involve electronically detecting presence of a device within the geographic area defined by the virtual boundary. Such techniques further involve suspending the automated mowing task in response to detecting the presence of the device within the geographic area defined by the virtual boundary.
