Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: creating a media object at a mobile electronic device; obtaining at least one rule of obfuscation defining modifications for positional data relating to at least one geographical area; determining positional data relating to a current geographical position of said mobile electronic device; applying said at least one rule to said determined positional data to derive first positional meta data if said determined positional data relate to said at least one geographical area; wherein said at least one rule defines a pre-determined accuracy for positional data relating to a pre-determined geographical area; and applying said rule comprises reducing the accuracy of said determined positional data to said pre-determined accuracy; deriving second positional meta data from said determined positional data if said determined positional data do not relate to said at least one geographical area, wherein said first positional meta data differ from said second positional meta data by providing less accurate positional information about said current geographical position of said mobile electronic device; and modifying positional meta data associated with said media object by associating said derived positional meta data with said media object.
