Abstract
A mobile computing intervening system is described. The system may include a primary user computing device running a user application and at least one group user computing device running a user application and coupled to the primary user computing device. The system may operate to establish a geofence and automatically generate a signal to deactivate user computing devices, such as smartphones, within the geofence. This may be done for a certain period of time or until the primary user computing device ends the operation of the system. Families at dinner, students in class, employees in a workplace, and/or other social gatherings/environments may use this application to promote distraction free family time, class time, employment time, etc. by being unplugged from mobile computing devices.
Claims20
A mobile computing intervening system comprising:
- a computer server for running an application;
- a primary user computing device running a user application and coupled to the computer server;
- and
- a group user computing device running a user application and coupled to the computer server, wherein the computer server is programmed to:
- receive a signal from the primary user computing device including a location of the primary user computing device to establish that the primary user computing device has accessed the system;
- automatically determine a size and location of a geofence in response to processing the location of the primary user computing device and send instructions to the primary user computing device for automatic execution to establish the geofence;
- receive a signal from the primary user computing device to deactivate the one group user computing device in the geofence;
- automatically process the signal received from the primary user computing device and send a signal to the group user computing device for automatic execution programmed instructions to deactivate the group user computing device;
- and
- automatically send data regarding utilization of the system by the group user computing device at determined times by the user computing device to outside of the geofence, wherein the data comprises number of sessions within the geofence and/or time of each of the sessions within the geofence.
A mobile computing intervening system comprising:
- a primary user computing device running a user application;
- and
- at least one group user computing device running a user application and coupled to the primary user computing device, wherein the primary user computing device is programmed to:
- identify a location of the primary user computing device in response to starting the application;
- automatically determine a size and location of a geofence in response to processing the location of the primary user computing device;
- automatically generate a signal to deactivate the at least one group user computing device within the geofence;
- automatically send a signal to the at least one group user computing device for automatic execution programmed instructions to deactivate the group user computing device;
- and
- automatically send data regarding utilization of the system by the at least one group user computing device at determined times by the user computing device to outside of the geofence, wherein the data comprises number of sessions within the geofence and/or time of each of the sessions within the geofence.
