Mobile device protection from cyber-surveillance activities

The granted patent US12047166B1 outlines a method and system designed to protect mobile devices from cyber-surveillance. The core of the invention involves monitoring network and location activity to identify abnormal patterns or high-risk areas. Upon detecting a triggering event, the system prompts the user for confirmation before executing a protective response, which may include deactivating specific communication protocols such as cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. The method also allows for user interaction through an application interface, where users can manage preferences for the protective responses and request to terminate them after a designated time period.

Additionally, the patent describes a second protective response that can be activated, which involves emitting a jamming signal for a specified duration. The system is designed to enhance user control and awareness, requiring user confirmation before implementing protective measures. It also includes provisions for receiving security updates from a cloud-based platform to identify high-risk areas, further bolstering the device's defenses against potential surveillance threats. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to safeguarding mobile devices in environments where privacy may be compromised.
