MOBILE-DEVICE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMPOWERED LOCAL COMMUNICATION

摘要

Methods, systems, programs, and devices are presented that enable local communication between client devices, e.g., smart phones, while allowing self-policing of content by the recipients. In one instance, messages created in a certain communication area are transmitted to other users in that geographical area. Users may attenuate a message, which sends a request that a communication zone of that message be decreased. In some instances, users may also request that a message be amplified, which sends a request for the communication zone of that message to be enlarged. Other embodiments and features are presented.
