Abstract

Dynamically coordinating interactive fence zones and alerts includes receiving, by one or more processors, location data corresponding to a first object. A virtual fence location and a virtual fence type are determined for the first object based on the received location data, and a first virtual fence is then established surrounding the first object. A plurality of parameters associated with the first virtual fence is received by the one or more processors, and a rule table is generated based on the received plurality of parameters associated with the first virtual fence. Data regarding a virtual fence boundary of the first virtual fence is received by the one or more processors, and based on the received data meeting a first rule of the rule table, an alert is sent to a user device.
