Obfuscating identity of a source entity affiliated with a communiqué directed to a receiving user and in accordance with conditional directive provided by the receiving use
First Claim
1. A computationally-implemented system, comprising:
- (a) circuitry for receiving one or more conditional directives from a receiving user, the one or more conditional directives delineating one or more conditions for obfuscating identity of a source entity affiliated with one or more communiqué
s directed to the receiving user, the circuitry for receiving including at least;
(1) circuitry for prompting the receiving user to input the one or more conditional directives by presenting a conditional directive input interface to the receiving user to permit the receiving user to input the one or more conditional directives; and
(2) circuitry for receiving at least one conditional directive, of the one or more conditional directives, from the receiving user to conditionally obfuscate the identity of the source entity in absence of a biometric verification of the receiving user being in possession of a receiving user device; and
(b) circuitry for presenting at least a second communiqué
in response to at least a reception of a first communiqué
affiliated with the source entity and in accordance with the one or more conditional directives, the second communiqué
being presented in lieu of presenting the first communiqué
, including at least;
(1) circuitry for presenting, in lieu of presenting the first communiqué
, at least the second communiqué
that is a substitute communiqué
unrelated to the first communiqué and
a communiqué
accessing interface for accessing the second communiqué
, the second communiqué
including at least one of an email, an instant message (“
IM”
), a short message service (“
SMS”
) message, a multimedia messaging service (“
MMS”
) message, a telephone call, a video call, a VoIP call, or a voice mail and that is from a communication device that is affiliated with a third party that is other than the receiving user, the communiqué
accessing interface configured to provide an alert to covertly indicate to the receiving user that the second communiqué
is being presented in lieu of the first communiqué
, wherein the communiqué
accessing interface is configured to provide an alert that covertly indicates to the receiving user that the second communiqué
is being presented in lieu of the first communiqué
at least in part by not specifically indicating to the receiving user that the second communiqué
is being presented in lieu of the first communiqué

Abstract
A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: receiving one or more conditional directives from a receiving user, the one or more conditional directives delineating one or more conditions for obfuscating identity of a source entity affiliated with one or more communiqués directed to the receiving user; and presenting at least a second communiqué in response to at least a reception of a first communiqué affiliated with the source entity and in accordance with the one or more conditional directives, the second communiqué being presented in lieu of presenting the first communiqué. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

30. A method, comprising:
-
(a) receiving one or more conditional directives from a receiving user, the one or more conditional directives delineating one or more conditions for obfuscating identity of a source entity affiliated with one or more communiqué
s directed to the receiving user, the receiving including at least;(1) prompting the receiving user to input the one or more conditional directives by presenting a conditional directive input interface to the receiving user to permit the receiving user to input the one or more conditional directives; and (2) receiving at least one conditional directive, of the one or more conditional directives, from the receiving user to conditionally obfuscate the identity of the source entity in absence of a biometric verification of the receiving user being in possession of a receiving user device; and (b) presenting, using one or more processors, at least a second communiqué
in response to at least a reception of a first communiqué
affiliated with the source entity and in accordance with the one or more conditional directives, the second communiqué
being presented in lieu of presenting the first communiqué
, including at least;(1) presenting, in lieu of presenting the first communiqué
, at least a second communiqué
that is a substitute communiqué
unrelated to the first communiqué and
a communiqué
accessing interface for accessing the second communiqué
, the second communiqué
