System and server for analyzing and integrating data collected by an electronic device

A crowd-sourced system for integrating data collected by mobile electronic devices of a plurality of users, the system comprising:

• a mobile electronic device of a user configured to collect data using a sensor;
• and
• a server including:
• a receiver configured to receive data transmitted from the mobile electronic device of the user, the received data being collected by the sensor of the mobile electronic device;
• an analytic engine configured to integrate data received from the mobile electronic device of the user with data received from other mobile electronic devices of other users to create or update a map indicating information in connection with the user and the other users;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit the map to the mobile electronic device of the user,
• wherein the map is a heat map indicating a health condition of the user of the mobile electronic device and health conditions of the other users of the other mobile electronic devices.

A server for analyzing data received from at least one mobile electronic device, the server comprising:

• a processing system including a processor, the processing system being configured to, when an event-based condition is met in accordance with a rule established on the server, issue a command to turn on a sensor of a mobile electronic device and enable the mobile electronic device to transmit data collected by the sensor to the server without any input by the user of the mobile electronic device, the data collected by the sensor being related to an event happening at a location of the mobile electronic device;
• and
• a receiver configured to receive the data collected by the sensor of the mobile electronic device,
• wherein the mobile electronic device is further configured to display an image that does not indicate data collection or transmission when the mobile electronic device receives the command to turn on the sensor and transmit the data collected by the sensor to the server without any input by the user of the mobile electronic device, so that the data collection and transmission are done surreptitiously and a person is prevented from noticing the data collection or transmission.
