Abstract:

A system and method for locationally aware communication that does not reveal a user's exact location to any other user. Users interact with client applications installed on their computing devices, which are connected to one or more remote serves. Users may determine when certain other users are nearby specified geographic areas, may communicate with others, and may view, send, and receive invitations to events. Communication may be transmitted to individual recipients or to groups of recipients. Invitations may be transmitted to specified invitees or to broader groups of users. Users may define parameters controlling the extent to which information about their locations may be shared with others.
