FIELD OF THE INVENTION 10003] The present invention relates Tocation-based data processing. The present invention relates in general 10 & method of creating defined virtual geographic zones around places of interest. More particularly, the present invention Felates to evidencing the location of virtual geographic zones round places of intrest on an online map with a marker 30 that they may be discoverable on mobile devices with ‘common app. Once such virtual geogmphic zones are mapped, registered and stored in a common accessible datahase, they hecomte discoverable and setionable without further reference 1o a map from common mobile device app. Such code may be part of a mobile device's operating system. These virwal geographic zones in tum ean be used to control gates and autonomous vehicles, such as unmanned ‘ears and drones. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 10004] Though mobile phones have been prevalent in the ‘marketplace for some time, they have not been widely used jn the indoseis that must monitor movement of users oF ‘employees on a route, a joumey of a tour through com- ‘ander or supervisor defines zones, places or locations, For ‘example, security patrol oficers move from checkpoint 10 ‘checkpoint on a tour defined by a commander. Prison guards move through areas of a prison while making “rounds” defined by a supervisor Police oligers move through areas ‘or “beats” oftheir ety as defined by a commander. Delivery trucks move from store to store making deliveries on route dfined by a supervisor ora manager. A gambler may beable to gamble in a casino but once the gambler moves out ofthe ‘cavino the gambler may no longer place a wager.

Similarly, shoppers move through aisles in a store that ean he defined by zones, [0008] With the increase in technological sophistication of | Wireless devices overtime, thee has been a rise in the use of these devices, However, while appearing unrelated at frst alance, most development in the use of wireless devices is part ofthe development of wireless device technology. Early efforts were principally focused in marketing products to ‘consumers. Marketers have attempted to find a solution ia the prior att target consumers using wireless devices with limited succes. [0006] For example, U-S. Pat. No. 7,321,773 to Hines, et Al discloses an area watcher wireless feature with a database of geographic areas triggering the wireless area watcher to splay a message upon particular wireless device's entry ‘nto oF exit from # watched area. A watched area may be Sefine bya postal cade, principality, state or county, by a panticular cell site area. However, the system in Hines relies on the infrasincture of a wireless network service provider to implement the feature and to define the watched fareas leading to an expensive system that cannot be eus- ‘omized, 0007] US.

Local advenisers register to advertise on wireless devices that are in close proximity to the advertiser Asa consumer enters cell site that is near the location ofthe local advertiser, the wireless network delivers a message tothe wireless device fof the consumer that is specified hy the local advertiser However, the system in Link relies on the Joeation and the range of cellular towers leading to an inaccurate location of the wireless device, Furher, such reliance on the range ofthe cellular towers resulls in fixed arcas within which the ‘gonsumer must be and eanaot be customizes 10 suit the Toca advertiser [0008] WIPO Patent Publication No. 2010078616 1 Wood, etal, discloses « mobile device managing arunge- iment for service and product information by a wireless fidelity network through hand-held devices interacting with a precinct database. In Wood, the precinct database stores Vendors, prodvets, services, and infomation For each pre- cinct A precinct i a predefined region in which 2 customer with the mobile device can access information about the vendors, products, services within the previnet. The precinct is equipped with proximity shor range wireless equipment, jn the form of & pad or a gate. In onder to access the information from the precinct database, the customer must place the mobile device within the range of the proximity pad or gate 1o access the information, However, the system in Wood relies on the wireless fidelity network and aealular network to locate the mobile device leading to an inaceurate Joeation because the range of the wireless fidelity network and the range oF the cellular network cannot eonform to the shape of the buikfing in which the eustomer is desired to be located and cannot be customized. Further, the wireless fidelity network forthe determination ofthe location can be ‘compromised through the use of a wireless fidelity network reporter to extend the reach of the network to unauthorized US 2017/0018184 AI [0009] | U:S. Pat, No. 7385,516 to Contractor discloses @ location confirmation service for wireless devices. A central processor periodically receives position data from a wireless ‘dovice via GPS o cellular network asa latitude and longi tude point, The central processor compares the latitude and longitude point with « Known location point wo determine if the wireless device is within a predetermined distance from the known location pont, However, the service is limited to ‘compan points and cannot compare s location of 2 device to a spatial area [0010] U.S. Pat. No. 7,864,087 to Aninye et al. discloses monitoring system that tracks a location of @ wireless personal tracking deviee. The system periodically tracks the location of the wirless personal tracking device using & cellular neowork or a GPS service. The system compares the location to a predetemnined inclusion zone or a predeter mined exchision zone. If the wireless personal tracking ‘device is inthe predetermined exclusion zone, the system enerates a message and sends the message asa notifieation. However, the zones i Aaiaye ot at are limited to circular ‘zones, each having 2 fixed radius and cannot be customized jn shape or adapted to the conform to the shape of @ structure [0011] U.S. Pat. No. 8,104,672 wo Mitebell, Je. et al discloses a security system including a set of sensors con: nected 10 the security system, The security system receives a location of a mobile security device carted by a user via GPS or cellular network, compares the location of the ‘mobile security device witha known location of an activated sensor and determines whether the activated sensor Within ‘predetermined distance from the mobile security device. IF the sensor is within the predetermined distance from the mobile security device, then the ativated sensor is graphi- cally displayed on the mobile security device, The user ean then respond to the activated sensor. However the system in Mitebel, Jr, et al, can only determine whether 9 sensor is ‘within a given mdivs from the mobile security device and is unable to create customized weographie zones [0012] US. Pat. No. 8,292,741 to Burman eta. discloses ‘8 system for facilitating mobile gaming. The system ‘employs.a set of hase stations of a cellular network to define a set Of geo-fences for a jurisdiction in which gaming is allowed. Each ofthe set of ase stations is customized to allow the base station t send and receive gaming informs tion, Each of the set of base stations hae a ange that must be wholly within jurisdiction that allows gaming.

Publication No. 2012/082955S to Jabara tal. discloses @ system and method far gaming using wireless communication devices. The system employs a set of Wi-Fi access points distributed on the premises ofa gaming facility in which gaming is allowed to define a goo-tence. Each Wii access point has a generally circular range, The set of ‘Wi-Fi access points verifies the location ofa wireless device by proximity to allow gambling on the premises of the ‘gaming faiity. However the system doesnot allow remote ‘gaming in another lawfol aren because the wireless com ‘munication device must be connected to the set of Wi-Fi ‘acess points, Further, the circular range ofeach ofthe Wie ‘cess point results in inconsistent coverage ofthe wireless communication device within the premises leading to ineon- sistent gaming access [0018] U.S. Publication No. 201210329885 to Fruy etal tiscloses system for multiplayer remote gaming. The sys- fem employs a set of gaming machine terminals deployed throughout a casino, Each gaming terminal is connected t0 a set of mobile gaming devices through a Wi-Fi network ‘throughout the easino. The WiFi network inchudes a set of transceivers each of whieh has a proximity range. The proximity ranges defines a goo-fenee around the casino. Fach mobile gaming device ean perform gaming functions, i.e placing a wager, ifthe mobile gaming device is within the range of one of the transceivers. However, like Jabara the system does not allow remote gaming in another law area because the mobile gaming device must be connected to the WiFi network of the casino, Further, the circular ranges of the transceivers result in inconsistent gaming access on each of the mobile gaming devices, [016] European Publication No, 2889232 to Broseoe discloses a system and method for ereating and modifying dynamic geo-fences. The system monitors location of an electronic device using cell network triangulation t create a dynamic geo-fence. The dynamic neo-fence includes a et of fixed geo-fences. Upon first sctivation of electronic device, a fist fixed peo-Fence is automatically created hav- ‘ng a fixed rous. Ns the electronic device moves outside of the first fixed goo-Tance, the electronic device is temporarily isabled, Permission by users required in onder to enable the electronic device. Once permission is granted, the elec- tronic device creates a second fixed goo-fence. As the clectronic device coatinues to move, suovessive Fixed Beo- ences are ereted in the same manner to ereate the dynamic eo-fence, However, the system relies on cell network Twiangulation to determine the location of the electronic device. Further, the system relies on user permission in a timely manner to create the dynamic geo-fence leading to holes in the geo-fence [0017] ‘The foregoing prior ant fails to disclose or suggest a system in which a mobile device can be sad to be inside 4 managed defined space or outside that same managed define space. Al prior art belongs in a class of “proximity systems”, While itis mathematically necessary fora military mission to be “near” the objective ora security officer to be “in the proximity of” a checkpoint ora delivery man t0 be “ear” the retail store, i is not silicent to be able wo say they wore “there”.

The prior at proximity systems have several limitations” Building. 150 has perimeter 151. Wi-Fi access point 152 is mounted ia building 150 aod ts range 153. One limitation is that ‘coverage of range 153i indistinct and varies around perio ‘eter 158, Further, some areas are excluded from coverage of range 153, For example, aa 187 and coverage area 189 are not covered by range 153 of Wi-Fi access point 152. Further, undesired reception of tke Wi-Fi signal occurs. Por example, WiFi repeater 184 broadcasts repeater coverage perimeter 15S by receiving signal 160 from Wi-Fi acoess point 1S2.and rebroadeasting it in coverage area 159 with coverage perim- ‘eter 185, This is problem because wireless deviee 156 is able to aceess Wi-Fi access point 182 through Wi-Fi repeater 184 with coverage range 189, said eoveroge range 159 being beyond shat is intended. Purher, range 153 cannot be precisely determined due to the “fuzziness” of range 183, thereby allowing an unintended user of wireless device 156 to access ange 183 of WiTi access point 182 by being ia ‘coverage range 159 of WiFi repester 154 [0019] The prior at fails to disclose or suggest a system and. method for creating customizable virual geographic ‘zones to enable supervisors to accurately interact With users. Adltionally, geo-fenced areas on publicly available maps ‘are not associated with map markers, do not alter te public map, and are not interactive with a common mobile device application that ean discover publicly accessible zones via a sup or by querying the closest zones. Therefor, there is 2 need in the prior art fora system and method for ereating sccurte virtual geographic zones that cannot be compro- rmised 0 allow a supervisor to inexpensively and accurately Jnteract with wsers SUMMARY 10020] In a preferred embodiment, a system and method or authenticating a wager by limiting the ability to place the wager fo designated zones, or subzones within one, is disclosed.
