Abstract
A system and method for generating amorphous randomized and/or fuzzy logic dynamic display icons that visually communicate to its users and/or entities that a subject's geographic location is being obfuscated on a graphical mapping interface of the user's computing device by way of continuously generating a dynamic location display icon having amorphous and/or asymmetrical shape, size, position, color, opacity, outline, movement, and/or transformation rate, and displaying the generated dynamic display icon on the graphical mapping interface.
Claims20
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium on a user's computing device and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving obfuscated geolocation data of a sender;
- recognizing the received geolocation data of the sender as obfuscated;
- generating a dynamic display icon configured to represent the received obfuscated geolocation data and visually communicate to the user that the received obfuscated geolocation data is obfuscated;
- and
- displaying, on a display unit of the user's computing device, the generated dynamic display icon superimposed on a graphical mapping interface to visually communicate to the user:
- (1) the received obfuscated geolocation data of the sender;
- and
- (2) that the received obfuscated geolocation data of the sender is obfuscated;
- wherein the dynamic display icon has an amorphous shape with a continuously moving boundary.
A method for generating a dynamic display icon for use with a graphical mapping interface, comprising:
- receiving obfuscated geolocation data of a sender;
- recognizing the received obfuscated geolocation data of the sender as obfuscated;
- generating a dynamic display icon configured to represent the received obfuscated geolocation data and visually communicate to a user that the received obfuscated geolocation data is obfuscated;
- and
- displaying, on a display device, the generated dynamic display icon superimposed on a graphical mapping interface to visually communicate to the user:
- (1) the received obfuscated geolocation data of the sender;
- and
- (2) that the received obfuscated geolocation data of the sender is obfuscated;
- wherein the dynamic display icon has an amorphous shape with a continuously moving boundary.
