OBSCURING TRUE LOCATION FOR LOCATION-BASED SERVICES

摘要

The location of the client device is obscured by using the set of generated random offsets and / or regions. In one implementation, the location of the client device is obscured using the first random offset and the second random offset. The pseudo position is determined based on the position of the client device, the first random offset and the second random offset. The pseudo location is sent to a third party for location based services. In another implementation, the location of the client device is obscured using the first random offset and the set of regions. The intermediate position is determined based on the position of the client device and the first random offset. The area of the set of areas is determined based on the intermediate position. The pseudo location is sent to a third party for location based service based on the determined area.
