Anonymous QR Code Communication via Secure Server Mediation

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that mediates all communications between users. Instead of direct peer-to-peer contact information exchange, messages are routed through the server which maintains user anonymity. The server acts as a trusted third party that enables communication without revealing private contact details, thus resolving the contradiction between communication efficiency and privacy security.

The patent creates anonymous copies of user identities through generated user names and profile data stored on the server. Instead of using real contact information, the system uses fabricated identity copies that enable communication while protecting true identities. This allows efficient communication through copied identities rather than direct contact information exchange.

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where users automatically manage their own anonymity through the system. Users generate their own anonymous user names, control their own profile information, and manage their own communication preferences without requiring manual intervention. This automation reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining strong privacy protection.

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the server provides users with control over their anonymous interactions. Users receive feedback about who contacts them and can adjust their privacy settings accordingly. This feedback loop enables users to manage anonymous interactions effectively without being overwhelmed by complexity, as they maintain control through the interface.
