Apparatuses, methods and systems for determining and announcing proximity between trajectories
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method for signaling proximity of mobile devices, the method comprising:
- accumulating by the server processor first activity information of a first mobile device;
accumulating by the server processor second activity information of a second mobile device;
receiving by the server processor a proximity boundary for the first mobile device established by a user of the first mobile device;
determining by the server processor a first location of the first mobile device from the first activity information;
determining by the server processor a second location of the second mobile device from the second activity information;
determining by the server processor whether the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device;
sending by the server processor an alert to at least the first mobile device that the proximity boundary has been breached when the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for signaling proximity of mobile devices. First activity information of a first mobile device and second activity information of a second mobile device are accumulated. A proximity boundary is established for the first mobile device. A location of the first mobile device is determined from the first activity information and a location of the second mobile device is determined from the second activity information. A determination is made whether the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device. An alert is sent to at least the first mobile device that the proximity boundary has been breached when the second mobile device is on or within the proximity boundary of the first mobile device.
