Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a location proxy. The disclosed systems and methods include associating a user device with a confining area. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods include reporting the location of a proxy device corresponding to the confining area as the location of the user device. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods include disassociating the user device from the confining area. Furthermore, the disclosed systems may determine if a first condition associated with a user device is present wherein the first condition comprises the user device being unable to determine a location of the user device or the user device being unable to communicate over a communication system associated with the user device. In addition, the disclosed systems may use a proxy device to determine the location of the user device, report the location of the user device, or to allow the user device to communicate.
