Abstract

Mobile localization of communications allows users to communicate anonymously with other users who share a location that is mobile. The systems and methods provided herein distinguish users who are co-mobile from users who are merely co-located to enable mobile conversations to travel with co-mobile users without a dedicated communications connection being established beforehand between the users. The conversations travel with the co-mobile users and are not tied to a physical location, allowing for localized and anonymous communications for user who are travelling together.
