CONFIDENTIAL ROUTE MONITORING WITH TRAVELER-CONFIGURED TRAVELER SAFETY ALERTS

摘要

A user's travel is securely monitored using user-configured secure travel monitoring constraints within a secure travel profile. The user-configured secure travel monitoring constraints granularly specify controls related to user travel privacy and authorized release of travel information to a user-specified trusted third party in association with the user's travel, in addition to specifying a planned travel route and a planned travel time frame. A route deviation by the user relative to the planned travel route or planned travel time frame is detected during the secure monitoring of the user's travel. A user-configured level of travel information authorized by the user to be released to the user-specified trusted third party within a traveler safety alert responsive to the route deviation is determined based upon the user-configured secure travel monitoring constraints. The traveler safety alert with the user-configured level of travel information is sent to the user-specified trusted third party.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
confidentially monitoring, by a processor as part of user-controlled private travel security, a user's travel using user-configured confidentiality-based travel monitoring constraints within a user confidential-travel profile that granularly specify confidentiality measures related to protection of user travel privacy and that specify authorized release of a user-limited amount of user travel information to a user-selected trusted third party in response to detection of route deviations during the user's travel, in addition to specifying a planned travel route and a planned travel time frame; detecting, during the confidential monitoring of the user's travel, a route deviation by the user relative to one of the planned travel route and the planned travel time frame specified within the user-configured confidentiality-based travel monitoring constraints; and sending, according to the user-configured confidentiality-based travel monitoring constraints, a traveler safety alert with the user-limited amount of the user travel information to the user-selected trusted third party.
