Location Identity Sharing Controls for Mobile Privacy Blocking

The patent implements dynamic location sharing by allowing users to change their location visibility status in real-time through a blocking mode that can be activated or deactivated at any time. The system transitions from static location sharing to dynamic control, where users can temporarily block their location from being displayed to other users while maintaining the ability to share it when needed.

The patent segments location sharing control by introducing selective blocking mechanisms that allow users to control visibility to different user groups or individuals. The system divides the location sharing function into shareable and blockable segments, enabling granular control over who can see location information at any given time.

The system allows users to dynamically switch between continuous location tracking and blocked states, providing real-time control over location data transmission. Users can activate blocking mode to immediately stop location updates being shared, while maintaining the ability to resume sharing when desired, thus balancing accuracy needs with privacy control.

The patent implements self-service privacy control by allowing users to independently manage their own location sharing preferences through intuitive interface elements. Users can activate or deactivate blocking mode themselves without requiring administrator intervention, giving them direct control over their location data's visibility and accuracy.
