US Patent 10341858 Systems and methods for obscuring user location

The disclosed computer-implemented method for obscuring user location may include (i) detecting a motion of a user mobile device through a motion sensor of the user mobile device, (ii) checking whether the motion of the user mobile device satisfies a specified threshold that defines a threshold level of motion, (iii) determining that the motion of the user mobile device satisfies the specified threshold that defines the threshold level of motion, and (iv) protecting a user of the user mobile device by obscuring, in response to determining that the motion of the user mobile device satisfies the specified threshold, an actual location of the user mobile device by outputting information indicating a decoy location of the user mobile device that deviates from the actual location of the user mobile device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
