Abstract
The present invention relates to geofencing for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. A geofence within which an IoT device is authorized to operate is provisioned to an IoT device managed by an IoT service enablement platform. The IoT device transmits recurrent location estimates to the IoT service enablement platform over a wireless network using the Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) protocol. Upon receiving a first location estimate indicating that the IoT device is outside the geofence, the platform determines the device's location relative to the geofence. If the device is determined to be outside the geofence, the platform transmits an execute operation to the IoT device using the LwM2M protocol. This operation hides one or more values of the IoT device from access by its processor, thereby restricting the device's functionality and securing the device when it is outside the authorized geofence.
