US 9,544,271 B2 · Anonymous messaging conversation

Abstract

An anonymous communication module that provides full conversational anonymous messaging and voice/video communication between two or more parties interacting over a wireless/landline network. An anonymous messaging module accepts an anonymous initiation message to a public address to trigger the start of an anonymous voice/video conversation between a message originator and a message recipient. An anonymous communication module performs intercept and address substitution on a message and/or voice/video call transmitted between two or more parties via an anonymous communication service. The anonymous communication module substitutes a real address in the source field of an intercepted message and/or voice/video call, with an anonymous address mapped to that real address, and substitutes an anonymous address in the destination field of an intercepted message and/or voice/video call with a real address mapped to that anonymous address. The anonymous communication module then forwards the newly formatted message and/or voice/video call to an intended message/call destination.

Dependent claims

Apparatus to anonymize at least two individual user web actively interacting in two-way digital packet communication with one another, comprising:

an anonymous digital communication module to form a digital packet gateway between an unregistered sender device and a registered recipient device of said at least two actively interacting digital communication devices, said anonymous digital communication module anonymizing said active two-way digital packet communication in real time, before delivery is completed to an anonymous addressed recipient user web page associated with said registered recipient device, by intercepting said active two-way digital packet communication and substituting for a real address associated with said unregistered sender device in source fields of digital packets associated with said active interaction passing therethrough with an anonymous address associated with said unregistered sender device, and substituting for an anonymous address associated with said registered recipient device in destination fields of digital packets associated with said active interaction passing therethrough with an affiliated real address associated with said registered recipient device, before said intercepted digital packet communication reaches its addressed destination;
wherein anonymity is maintained between said at least two individual user web pages vis-a-vis each other.
