Determination of a filtered map interaction descriptor
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;
receive information indicative of a map operation that is associated with a map object, the map operation being invoked by a user of a wireless communication device, and the map object being independent of a current location of the user;
determine a map interaction descriptor that comprises information indicative of the map object, information indicative of the map operation, and information indicative of at least one map object property, wherein the map interaction descriptor comprises a map interaction session descriptor that provides information from which it is determinable as to whether a particular user is uniquely identifiable;
determine a privacy setting that is associated with the map interaction descriptor based, at least in part, on at least a portion of the map interaction descriptor;
determine a filtered map interaction descriptor based, at least in part, on the privacy setting and the map interaction descriptor, such that the filtered map interaction descriptor is absent from at least a portion of at least one of the information indicative of the map object, the information indicative of the map operation, or the information indicative of the map object property; and
cause information indicative of the filtered map interaction descriptor to be sent to a separate apparatus.

Abstract
A method comprising receiving information indicative of a map operation that is associated with a map object, the map operation being invoked by a user, determining a map interaction descriptor that comprises information indicative of the map object, information indicative of the map operation, and information indicative of a map object property, determining a privacy setting that is associated with the map interaction descriptor based on at least a portion of the map interaction descriptor, determining a filtered map interaction descriptor based on the privacy setting and the map interaction descriptor, such that the filtered map interaction descriptor is absent at least a portion of at least one of the information indicative of the map object, the information indicative of the map operation, or the information indicative of the map object property, and causing sending of information indicative of the filtered map interaction descriptor to a separate apparatus is disclosed.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving information indicative of a map operation that is associated with a map object, the map operation being invoked by a user of a wireless communication device, and the map object being independent of a current location of the user; determining, by a processor, a map interaction descriptor that comprises information indicative of the map object, information indicative of the map operation, and information indicative of at least one map object property, wherein the map interaction descriptor comprises a map interaction session descriptor that provides information from which it is determinable as to whether a particular user is uniquely identifiable; determining, by the processor, a privacy setting that is associated with the map interaction descriptor based, at least in part, on at least a portion of the map interaction descriptor; determining, by the processor, a filtered map interaction descriptor based, at least in part, on the privacy setting and the map interaction descriptor, such that the filtered map interaction descriptor is absent from at least a portion of at least one of the information indicative of the map object, the information indicative of the map operation, or the information indicative of the map object property; and causing of information indicative of the filtered map interaction descriptor to be sent to a separate apparatus in order to facilitate sharing of the information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform:
-
receive information indicative of a map operation that is associated with a map object, the map operation being invoked by a user of a wireless communication device, and the map object being independent of a current location of the user; determine a map interaction descriptor that comprises information indicative of the map object, information indicative of the map operation, and information indicative of at least one map object property, wherein the map interaction descriptor comprises a map interaction session descriptor that provides information from which it is determinable as to whether a particular user is uniquely identifiable; determine a privacy setting that is associated with the map interaction descriptor based, at least in part, on at least a portion of the map interaction descriptor; determine a filtered map interaction descriptor based, at least in part, on the privacy setting and the map interaction descriptor, such that the filtered map interaction descriptor is absent from at least a portion of at least one of the information indicative of the map object, the information indicative of the map operation, or the information indicative of the map object property; and cause information indicative of the filtered map interaction descriptor to be sent to a separate apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
