6. A system, the system comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a signal associated with a location of a computing device and a direction of travel associated with the computing device;
a processor; and
a memory operationally coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores program instructions implemented by the processor for:
comparing the location associated with the computing device to a first criteria associated with a reminder request, wherein the reminder request is based at least in part on input information including a particular good or a particular service;
comparing the direction of travel associated with the computing device to a second criteria associated with the reminder request, wherein the first criteria comprises the location associated with the computing device being proximate a destination, and the second criteria comprises the direction of travel associated with the computing device indicating that the proximity of the computing device to the destination is increasing or is expected to increase;
determining whether to suppress notification, or not, based at least in part on a priority associated with the particular good or the particular service; and
in a case of a determination to not suppress the notification, providing a reminder associated with the reminder request in response to satisfaction of the first criteria and the second criteria.
