Abstract
A method and system for providing one or more location-based services using the location-of-interest of a user or an electronic journal entry. In the first service, a user's terminal periodically determines whether its current geo-location is within a predefined distance of a location-of-interest. If the determination is in the affirmative, the user's terminal receives an audio recording from a data-processing system and plays it to the user as a reminder. In the second service, however, the user's terminal receives the audio recording from the data-processing system regardless of whether its current geo-location is or is not within a predefined distance of the location-of-interest. In contrast to the first service, the second service uses the virtual presence of a user to initiate the service, while first service uses the current geo-location of the user's terminal to initiate the service.
