A system and method for user interaction includes a network, a server connected to the network, a supervisor device receiving information from a global positioning system and connected to the network, a user device receiving information from the global positioning system and connected to the network
A system and method for user interaction includes a network, a server connected to the network, a supervisor device receiving information from a global positioning system and connected to the network, a user device receiving information from the global positioning system and connected to the network. The supervisor, having the supervisor device, defines a set of virtual geographic zones and sub-zones in which the user device is tracked, and saves the set of virtual geographic zones and sub-zones to a supervisor account on the server. The user downloads a user application, sets-up a user account, and downloads the set of virtual geographic zones and sub-zones. As the user, having the user device, moves through the virtual geographic zones and sub-zones the location of the user device is determined and a set of supervisor-defined actions are executed on the user device based on the location of the user device.

1. A method of using virtual geographic zones, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, by a server, a zone profile from the supervisor device;sending, by the server, the zone profile and a place profile to a map admin server for approval;receiving, by the server, a first notification from the map admin server that indicates whether the zone profile was approved;sending, by the server, a second notification that is to the supervisor device, based on the first notification, and in response to receiving the first notification;receiving, by the server, a zone profile request from a user device that has entered a zone associated with the zone profile and the place profile;sending, by the server, zone website information to the user device based on and in response to the zone profile request; and,receiving, by the server, a request based on the zone website information and in response to the zone website information being displayed on the user device. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of: receiving, by the server from the supervisor device, link information to be included in a map associated with the map admin server. 3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of: receiving, by the server from the user device, the zone profile request via the link information for the zone profile information. 4. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of: receiving, by the server from the supervisor device, link information that is to be included in a map associated with the map admin server and is to be displayed with a graphical indicator that is a generic marker. 5. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of: receiving, by the server from the user device, the zone profile request via the link information for the zone profile information in response to a selection of the generic marker. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of: receiving, by the server from the supervisor device, link information that is to be included in a map associated with the map admin server and is to be displayed with a graphical indicator that is an active marker. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the marker indicates that the zone that is served by a geo-located Wi-Fi access point device. 8. The method of claim 6 further comprising the step of: receiving, by the server from the user device, the zone profile request via the link information for the zone profile information in response to a selection of the active marker. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of receiving the zone profile comprises: receiving an inner zone that is associated with an outer zone; and,receiving the outer zone. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the zone profile describes a social zone and the method further comprises the steps of: receiving, by the server and from the user device, an identification of a type that is associated with the user device; and,sending, by the server and to the user device, location information of one or more other user devices that are also associated with the type and are within the social zone. 11. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of: preventing a navigation system of the user device from planning routes through one of the group of inside and outside an exclusion zone that is described by the zone profile. 12. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of: preventing a navigation and routing program of the user device from planning routes through one of the group of inside and outside an exclusion zone that is described by the zone website information. 13. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of: displaying a location of an open parking space in a parking garage on a user device;recording an entry and an exit from the parking lot; and,charging an account based on the entry and the exit. 14. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of: opening a first toll gate and recording an entrance event to a toll road;opening a second toll gate and recording an exit event upon exiting the toll road;recording evidence of the entrance event, the exit event, and a distance traveled event to bill a toll for the use of the toll road; and,tracking the user device through one or more zones on a road to monitor a speed of a vehicle associated with the user device. 15. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of: communicating, by the user device, with a drone;preventing the drone from flying within an exclusion zone when the zone website information comprises the exclusion zone; and,permitting the drone to fly within an inclusion zone when the zone website information comprises the inclusion zone. 16. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of: communicating, by the user device, with an aircraft;tracking a location of the aircraft through one or more contiguous polyhedral place zones;controlling, by one or more of the user device and the server, a flight path of the aircraft through the contiguous polyhedral place zones when the aircraft is a drone. 17. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of: determining, by the user device, the location of a movable zone based on location information received by the user device from a fixed wireless device identified by the movable zone of the zone profile. 18. The method of claim 1 wherein the zone profile comprises an alarm zone and the zone website information comprises an alarm button, and further comprising the steps of: receiving, by the server, an alarm request sent in response to an alarm signal;sending the alarm signal from the user device upon activation of an alarm button. 19. The method of claim 1 wherein the zone profile is based on the zone information, and further comprising the steps of: receiving, by the server, a satellite image;determining, by the server, zone information from the satellite image comprising one or more of a polygon and a polyhedron; and,sending, by the server, the zone information to the supervisor device.
