I agree that this invention helps mobile users be safe and more alert about their surroundings based on their location. It does invade the privacy of the mobile user. They are tracked and the system that routes them knows their location, hence there is a trust issue here. The user has to trust the people running the system which is routing the user.1

The patent mentions that they determine the trat level depending on the physical safety and the network safety at the location of the user. However, I don't understand how they can determine your physical safety at the time. Does this mean that it will be based on how much crime or theft happens in the location? If so, then how are people supposed to use this system for those who live in Oakland or Harlem, locations known for danger?Suraj Patel (about 2 years ago)
Even in Oakland and Harlem there are locations that are safe and locations that are not safe. Many police departments keep records of the exact street addresses or cross streets where crimes occur. Using this database the technology described by the patent could identify if somebody is at a particularly bad intersection and route them to somewhere safer. I curious about how network safety will be measured and what kind of transactions the system is made for.0 days left
