Abstract: A method for providing adaptive location sharing based on proximity includes identifying a group of entities (people and/or places) associated with a target person, and setting a location sharing mode to one of a plurality of sharing modes including first sharing mode in which current geographic locations of the target person can be shared regardless of proximity between the target person and any group member, and a second sharing mode in which current geographic locations of the target person are conditionally shared based on proximity between the target person and group members. Based on the location sharing mode and, when in the second sharing mode, the proximity of the target person to one or more entities of the group, either current geographic locations, or a location-based status that does not specify any geographic location, is/are shared.

Abstract: A method for providing adaptive location sharing based on proximity may include identifying a group of entities (people and/or places) associated with a target person, receiving, from a mobile communications device associated with the target person, location data indicative of a current geographic location of the target person, determining, using the location data, that the target person is proximate to at least a first entity of the group, generating a proximity message, and sending the proximity message to a remote monitoring device to cause the remote monitoring device to display a location-based status of the target person. The location-based status does not specify any geographic location of the target person.
