Abstract:
In a method for navigating across a boundary in geographical space, a present location of a hardware device is received at an application executing in the hardware device. Using a mapping data, a boundary is identified relative to the present location. In a communication with a system associated with the boundary, in a first transaction, a condition is determined that has to be satisfied prior to crossing the geographical location according to the boundary. A determination is made whether a permission document sufficient to satisfy the condition is accessible from the device. Responsive to the permission document being accessible from the device, the permission document is presented automatically to the system in a second transaction. An indication is made at the device, responsive to an acceptance of the permission document in a second transaction received from the system, that the device is permitted to navigate across the boundary.
