Abstract
Systems and methods for managing communications based upon location information associated with electronic files exchanged during the communications are described. In some embodiments, a method may include intercepting an electronic file exchanged during an electronic communication; identifying location information representative of a physical location where the electronic file was created or edited; and applying, based upon the location information, a selected one of a plurality of processing rules to at least one of: the electronic communication or the electronic file.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- intercepting an electronic file transmitted by a communication device during an electronic communication between a first person and a second person;
- identifying a physical location where the electronic file was created or edited, wherein the physical location of the electronic file is determined based on a geographic location associated with the electronic file during the creation or editing of the electronic file;
- applying a selected one of a plurality of processing rules to at least one of:
- the electronic communication or the electronic file, wherein the processing rules comprise one or more geographic restrictions on a location of the first person or the second person;
- and
- detecting a violation of the one or more geographic restrictions based on a determination that the physical location associated with the intercepted file violates a geographic restriction on the location of the first person or the second person, wherein the violation of the geographic restrictions is detected based on a projected trajectory of the communication device during the communication.

A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the computer system to:
- intercept an electronic file transmitted by a communication device during an electronic communication between a first person and a second person;
- identify a physical location where the electronic file was created or edited, wherein the physical location of the electronic file is determined based on a geographic location associated with the electronic file during the creation or editing of the electronic file;
- apply-a selected one of a plurality of processing rules to at least one of:
- the electronic communication or the electronic file, wherein the processing rules comprise one or more geographic restrictions on a location of the first person or the second person;
- and
- detect a violation of the one or more geographic restrictions based on a determination that the physical location associated with the intercepted file violates a geographic restriction on the location of the first person or the second person, wherein the violation of the geographic restrictions is detected based on a projected trajectory of the communication device during the communication.

A hardware memory device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor, cause a computer system to:
- intercept an image file transmitted by a communication device during a text communication between a first person and a second person;
- identify a physical location where the image file was created or edited, wherein the physical location of the electronic file is determined based on a geographic location associated with the electronic file during the creation or editing of the electronic file;
- apply a selected one of a plurality of processing rules to at least one of:
- the text communication or the image file, wherein the processing rules comprise one or more geographic restrictions on a location of the first person or the second person;
- and
- detect a violation of the one or more geographic restrictions based on a determination that the physical location associated with the intercepted file violates a geographic restriction on the location of the first person or the second person, wherein the violation of the geographic restrictions is detected based on a projected trajectory of the communication device during the communication.
