Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for performing region monitoring using tag matching to more closely match the monitored regions to a user's preference. A user enters user tags of interest, which are persisted to the region monitoring web server. The web server returns the closest regions having a region tag matching user tag first and the closest regions without matching tags secondary. An application at the mobile device then performs region monitoring of the identified closest region(s). When the mobile device enters a monitored region, it reports this event to the web server. The web server then determines whether any messages and/or assets associated with the region have matching message tags or asset tags and returns such messages or assets to the mobile device.
