Method For Executing User Navigational Events Triggered Through Geolocational Data Describing Zones Of Influence

Abstract

A method for executing user navigational events triggered through geolocational data describing zones of influence is provided. Data is stored in a cartridge script loadable into a user device. Zones of influence are defined by describing by points of static geolocational data. User navigational events are defined and each user event is associated with a zone of influence. A trigger condition is specified for each user event based on the static data for the associated zone of influence. A scenario is executed by triggering the user events stored on the cartridge script through movement of the user device. A location of the user device is continuously self-identified based on dynamic geolocational data determined in response to the movement. A correlation between the dynamic data and the static data for the zones of influence is determined. The user event associated with a trigger condition is locally triggered based on the correlation.
