Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A remotely accessible server (112) receives a request from a requesting device (122) to release a product (126), the request including at least a product identifier (124) and a geo-location (128). The server (112) retrieves a product record (113) associated with the product identifier (124) from a database (114) and then retrieves an expected geo-location from the product record (113). If the received geo-location (128) substantially matches the expected geo-location of the product (126), the server (112) updates the product record (113) to mark the product (126) as released and transmits a release instruction to the requesting device (122). If the received geo-location (128) does not substantially match the expected geo-location of the product (126), the server (112) updates the product record (113) to mark the product (126) as blocked and transmits a block instruction to the requesting device (122).
