According to foreign media reports, News.me for iPhone recently added a feature of Paperboy, which enables users to automatically update the download news when they leave home, completely subverting the mobile experience of this service. It uses iOS 5's built-in geofence to wake up apps running in the background for news updates and downloads. Think about it, it would be cool if you could use this feature for food delivery and podcast updates.

Newsboy Paperboy: News automatic update download courier to "gateway"
The name of this new feature was conceived by Jon Ferrer, the front-end developer and marketing director of the service. The name Paperboy is a good example of the function of the newsboy for you. News.me aggregates news shared by all social friends, and pushes them to users based on a clean interface, which can be viewed offline or online. Even when you go out, Paperboy can automatically update the news, so when you are back home, you can get the news of the day that the app pushes for you when you open your phone.
The iOS 5 built-in geofencing feature is triggered based on changes in base station location rather than GPS, so its accuracy may not be as high, but the advantage is that power consumption is not too large. Some other applications on the market will also have some inaccuracies. For example, Apple's built-in Reminders application is also based on geo-fences to achieve location-based reminders, but it does not always work like the Paperboy feature. For example, when you set a location alert based on a particular store, the Reminders app will not push you a reminder when you leave the store.
However, News.me does not need to know the user's specific geographical location, but only needs to receive the signal from the user to start the work, so this geofencing function is good enough to meet News.me even if it is not accurate enough. The function to be implemented. “Many users like our app because it allows users to read even in subways without signals,†said Jake Levine, general manager of News.me. Paperboy's automatic offline update feature eliminates the need for manual updates and saves a lot of hassle.
Paperboy function is developed within one week
News.me developer Rob Haining said, “I have been thinking about the idea of ​​building a different function based on the user's geographical location for a long time. At the time, I developed the food website Epicurious iPhone when I was at Condé Nast. Applying the prototype, I was thinking about how to make the app perform different functions based on the user's geographical location (cooking at home and going out shopping)?"
Unfortunately, Rob Haining did not actually practice this idea in Epicurious, but when he developed News.me, he began to think about it carefully. "When you are at home, you can mark the content and then provide other related functions when you leave home. This is a very interesting idea. Today, based on geofencing capabilities, this feature can be performed more easily, with low power consumption, CPU usage, and user cost.
Jake Levine revealed, “The previous feature was not in our plan. On a Friday night, we were preparing to go out together. When we walked out of the building, Rob suddenly asked us, 'You think you add one in News.me. What is the function of geo-based offline automatic update news?'"
Jake Levine continued, “This feature has nothing to do with any of the features we were developing at the time. But we appreciate this idea. So, when Rob Haining came home that day, he started developing this feature on his own. On Sunday night, we Received Rob's message, 'The first version of the service based on automatic location download was successfully completed,' and then I officially served my reading life when I left home on Monday morning."
Geofencing function
Rob Haining said that because it is based on the iOS system, this geofencing feature is very simple to implement. Paperboy consists of two parts. The first part is to locate a specific location as "home" based on the native map view. In contrast, OmniFocus for iPhone sets the geofence by asking the user to add a user in the contact list.
The other part of Paperboy is the true geofence triggering feature that triggers a function when the user leaves a particular location. In the case of News.me, when a user leaves a particular location "home", the app automatically performs geo-location detection, wakes up apps running in the background, and downloads the latest news for users to read online and offline.
