The present invention automatically increases situational awareness relating to potential sexual predators, criminals, and/or stalkers located near a mobile device user. A location of the mobile device can be determined by device location electronics, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS). The location can be compared against at least one zone believed to be associated with a sexual predator, a criminal, and/or a stalker. Zones can be static or dynamic. A threat level associated with a zone can be computed from multiple factors, which are compared against one or more thresholds. When the threat level exceeds a thresholds, an associated threat avoidance action can be automatically initiated. One threat avoidance action is to present a warning upon a user's mobile device along with contextual information about a proximate danger.

摘要:
A method (10) and system (20, 30, or 200) of guardian approval of communications where a guardian phone serves as a master phone (24) to at least one slave phone (26 or 28) can include the steps of forwarding (2) an unknown incoming call to a slave phone to the master phone, enabling (4) the master phone to approve the unknown incoming call, and routing (6) the unknown incoming call to the slave phone when the master phone approves the unknown call. The method can further route (8) an unknown outgoing call from a slave phone to the master phone, enable (9) the master phone to approve the unknown outgoing call to a third party, and route (11) the unknown outgoing call to the third party when the master phone approves the unknown outgoing call.
