1. A method comprising:
- obtaining a tracking mode of a delivery task of a first unmanned aerial device; and
invoking circuitry configured to decide whether or not to omit a record of the first unmanned aerial device completing the delivery task of the first unmanned aerial device as an automatic and conditional response to whether or not the tracking mode of the delivery task to whether or not the tracking mode of the delivery task of the first unmanned aerial device disables recording an indication of a completion of the delivery task in which the invoking circuitry configured to decide whether or not to omit the record of the first unmanned aerial device completing the delivery task of the first unmanned aerial device as the automatic and conditional response to whether or not the tracking mode of the delivery task of the first unmanned aerial device disables recording the indication of the completion of the delivery task includes at least;
invoking circuitry configured to respond to an indication of the first unmanned aerial device becoming within a proximity of a mobile device by deciding whether or not to omit the record of the first unmanned aerial device completing the delivery task of the first unmanned aerial device as the automatic and conditional response to whether or not the tracking mode of the delivery task of the first unmanned aerial device disables recording an indication of a completion of the delivery task, the indication of the first unmanned aerial device becoming within a proximity of a mobile device including an indication of the first unmanned aerial device being at a distance detectable by the mobile device.
