Personal Console Quick Start

Personal Console lets you CONTROL your digital life (create aliases for different situations, define your own transactions, train your personal AI, sell insights from private data etc.) EASILY through your phone.

  1. Personal Console Introduction
  2. Personal Console Quick Start
  3. Personal Console User Guide

This is the Personal Console Quick Start Guide, Step 2 in setting up your own Personal Console, you might like to have a read of the Introduction page (Step 1) to get a feel of what Personal Console is about before following this guide and install Personal Console on your phone.

1. One Click Install

Just go to 88.io and you will be redirect to the closest server to you (e.g. app.contacttrace.com.au)
where Personal Console will then be installed into your web browser.

  • NO download from App Stores or Play Store
  • NO sign-up to any service or create any account
  • NO advertisement or any unsolicited interruption
  • NO leaking of data outside of your phone
  • NO username, email, phone number etc. needed
  • NO charge for use, distribution, modification (refer to license)
  • NO hidden operation (source code is published publicly)

Once installed, Personal Console will ask permission to access your location, by default all location data collected stays on your phone and is used to display your location to you only. No data is exported from your phone.

2. One Second Collect

Collect your first location into your Private Cyberspace with Personal Console in ONE SECOND with just 2 clicks.

1sec

On start up the Personal Console displays a map, showing your current location in the middle of it as a blue dot (as shown below).

personal_console

First, click on the "Location Pin" button on the right of the screen (as shown above) to add a Pin on the map to indicate your current location.

pin

Second, click on the "Web Pin" button on the resulting menu (as shown above) to use the Web Browser's internal geolocation value as your current location.

webpin

Congrats! You have just added your first information asset into your Private Cyberspace!

Note NO data leave your phone - you can even collect data OFFLINE. You can confirm that feature by continuing to collect data after you have disabled all communication functions e.g. turn on "air plane mode" of your phone. Programmers can confirm by auditing the javascript code already loaded in your browsers.

1.3. Earn Coin Anonymously

You can OPTIONALLY fuzzify share some of the data you have collected anonymously.

If you would like to share some of the data you have collected
Earn your first coin by submitting anonymous status with your Personal Console.

To protect your privacy, PRIVATE Alias can only be used to privately COLLECT data for you, to SHARE the data collected anonymously with others you can create one or more ANONYMOUS Alias.

Go to DYNAMIC ALIAS -> 1. Personal Entity -> a. List and check the alias Type in top row.

private_alias

If it shows Private, tap on the Create Alias button to upgrade the alias to an Anonymous alias. Simply enter your preferred password and select OK.

alias_passsword

The Wallet (where the coins are stored) will also be created automatically. Select any of the keys displayed and select OK when prompted.

wallet_creation

Once completed, a confirmation pop-up message will be displayed.

wallet_completed

The alias file will be downloaded to your device. The Exchange number is the number of coins earned. In the example below, the number is 0, which means there is no coin earned.

anonymous

The next step is to add a pin on the map. In the example below, a Web pin is used. Once the pin is shown on the map, select the Location button on the right and scroll down to Time Blocks as shown below.

time_blocks

The Time Block window will be displayed. Select the Status button.

status

There are three status categories, Virtual Vaccine, Venue status and Safety Hazard, In the example below, Health - pcr positive (ppr) is selected. There is an optional message to be included after the status has been selected, e.g: Tested at a Haymarket clinic.

ppr

Once the status has been successfully submitted, it will be reflected in the Time Blocks.

status_submitted

To view the total number of coins earned, go to DYNAMIC ALIAS -> 2. Anonymous Interaction -> d. Wallet -> Exchange. In the example below, one coin has been earned.

Aliases

A fundamental feature of Private Cyberspace is the protection of your privacy by enabling you to create different Aliases for yourself for different situations.

In this Quick Start Guide we will set up one each of the all 3 alias types available:

  1. Private Alias - use to collect data only (no sending out).
  2. Guest Alias - use to send fuzzy data anonymously.
  3. Member Alias - use to send fuzzy under progressive identity protection.

Private Alias

Step 1.

Create a new Private Cyberspace instantly with ONE CLICK.

The cyberspace will already have a Private Alias which you can use to collect your first data.

Step 2.

Collect your location into the Private Cyberspace using the Private Alias in just ONE SECOND.

If you just want to collect data PRIVATELY for now, you can stop after Step 2.

You just remain on Private Alias and keep collecting more data under it. You can analyse the collected data privately, and if desired later on, you can fuzzify some of the collected data and submit them to Citizen Synergy exchanges.

Guest Alias

Step 3.

Create a Guest Alias

Step 4.

submit the location you have just collected ANONYMOUSLY to a Citizen Synergy exchange.

If you just want to submit data anonymously, you can stop after Step 3. You can use remain on Private Alias and keep collecting more data under it. You can analyse the collected data privately, and if desired later on, you can fuzzify some of the collected data and submit them to Citizen Synergy exchanges.

Member Alias

Step 5.

Step 6.

Quick Start Done

If you have complete the above 6 steps, you would have all 3 different types of alias in your Alias List.

4. Daily Map Usage

Personal Console has a Daily Map in front, showing your movements and all the assets you have collected for EACH DAY.

Scrolling though the different days on the Daily Map is like flipping through a multimedia diary of your life. The more details you put into the Daily Map, the more insights you can gain from it and the more contributions you can potentially make using it.

When you first install app.contacttrace.com.au the following will be shown:

begin

Personal Console initial display explained
1 - Alias Type 2 - Zoom Level
3 - Background Map 4 - Camera Scanner
5 - Current Location 6 - Location Pins
7 - Dynamic Alias 8 - Number of Alerts
9 - Map Copyright 10 - Map Scale
11 - Application Menu 12 - Notification List
  • Items in the Notification List will NOT be shown again, after being click on once.

  • Base Map button displays different Base Maps as the background. The sample above is using the Transport Base Map, you can see the bus route number 418 along the roads. Besides picking different Base Maps for different purposes, you can also edit those maps online by just clicking the "Edit" button.

  • Camera Scanner can scan most QR codes, Barcodes and Text for contact tracing (e.g. bus shops QR codes, Alipay Wechat QR codes, product Barcodes, all COVID QR codes worldwide).

  • Current Location button shows you rapidly where you currently are on the map (and depending on your phone might also show the direction you are facing).

  • Add Pin button enables you to put locations you have visited on the map.

  • Menu button allows you to select the easy One Button Contact Trace Mode or the full featured Advanced Mode.

  • Copyright button gives you more details on the creators of the displayed Base Map

4.1. Location Pins

Location Pin is an easy and powerful way of collecting information about you and your environment.

They do not just tell you locations on the map, you can attach ANY sort of useful information onto each of them e.g. food orders, people names, shopping receipts, wifi signals etc.

The more pins you collect

  1. the more details you have to TRACK down the virus
  2. the better insight you GAIN into your lifestyle
  3. the more data you can SELL to potential buyers

The Pins are all numbered from the beginning of each day. So the first pin of the day is number 1, then 2, then 3 etc.

To help you see where the data for each pin came from easily, they can have different colours.

green_marker Touch Pin
Placed by touching the exact location on the map

red_marker Server Pin
Import from Servers (e.g. external gps devices)

grey_marker Phone Pin
Import from Phone (e.g. gpx, kml mobile apps)

blue_marker QR Pin
Placed by scanning QR codes

black_marker Web Pin
Placed by using current geolocation from web browser

pink_marker Name Pin
Placed by selecting from a list of names of venue nearby

orange_marker App Pin
import from our own app (e.g. geo88io.apk)

4.2. Increasing Accuracy

Apple and Google have massive geo-positioning capabilities, but accuracy on their mobiles is still not good enough for within metre positioning - this is where you can help.

If you zoom into the blue dot on your map, by spreading out with 2 fingers, you will see a blue circle around the blue dot, which indicates the accuracy of your location as reported by the blue dot (as shown below).

zoomin

Some governments offer high resolution images for free (e.g. NSW Australia) which act as a great background map.

Below is the same view as above, but with the base map changed using Change Base Map button in the upper right of the screen.

changemap

For high accuracy placement, you can use the image background to see whether the blue dot is indicating your current position properly and only use Web Pin if it is acceptable.

For example, as shown below, the user was standing next to a rubbish bin collection area.

Web Pins are coloured Black. All Pins are numbered in chronological order (as shown below).

webpin1

When the blue dot accuracy of your current location is poor, you can use Touch Pin to specify a more accurate position by selecting Touch Pin instead of Web Pin and then touching the map at the correct position.

For example, as shown below, the blue dot was in the middle of the road when the user was standing on the pavement, so the user clicked the Touch Pin button instead of the Web Pin button and touched the screen.

Touch Pins are coloured Green. There are lines linking all pins together in chronological order (as shown below).

touchpin

4.3. QRcode, Barcode and Text scanning

Unlike the very limited COVID QR Code scanners, Virtual Vaccine can make use of any QR code, Barcode and Text images, e.g. overseas COVID QR Codes, Alipay, bus seats, home made QR codes etc.

qrcode

A faster result is normally achieved when using the rear facing camera.

qrcode_scanning

If the QRcode scanning is successful, a blue pin will be displayed on the map.

qrcode_pin

Barcode scanning

barcode

To take the photo, it must be done in landscape mode and if it is detected, it will be shown as below.

barcode_result

After clicking on the barcode result, a black pin will be displayed on the map.

barcode_pin

Text scanning

text_scan

Use the camera to take a photo of the text or the image to be scanned.

text_recognition

If the result is successful, a black pin will be displayed on the map.

text_pin

5. Progressive Web App

Personal Console is implemented as a Progressive Web App, giving it benefits like:

  1. Cross Platform - web browser based works across multiple computer (Windows, macOS, Linux) and phone (Android, iOS, Linux) platforms.
  2. Store Independence - no tracking by Google Play Store and Apple App Store what, when how you use your app.
  3. Offline Capable - use of Progressive Web Application allows operation without server and without internet.

Web Console is the first step in building up your Private Cyberspace. Just point your browser to 88.io and you will be redirected to the nearest Personal Console launch point.

Personal Console gives you control of your Private Cyberspace through a web browser interface.

To ensure maximum privacy, it can operate OFFLINE without any network connection.

For details please visit Personal Console page.

web_console

homepage_transport_map

After the click, your Personal Map available at https://app.contacttrace.com.au will be installed inside your mobile phone browser.

personal_map

You can use it immediately to start building up your personal information assets by scanning COVID QR codes, Shopping Barcodes, Bus Shops QR Codes etc.

You can also install mobile apps to feed your Personal Map automatically with locations you have visited and wireless signals you have encountered (e.g. bluetooth signals from other COVID apps, TVs, earbuds etc.) while it remains in your pocket.

bluetooth_pin2

Unlike other apps, your have full independent control of Citizen Assisted Contact Tracing right on your phone. By default:

  1. NO sending of DATA outside your phone.
    When needed (say you tested COVID positive or someone offered you a bag of cash) you can selectively disclose some of the collected data.

  2. NO running of SOFTWARE outside your phone.
    Software (e.g. Personal Map itself) does not need to "phone home" to operate. In fact you can make a copy and start your own COVID fighting force independent of us.

As you gain more confidence in Citizen Assisted Contact Tracing, you can start to exchange data and rewards with other citizens under the protection of the Fiduciary Exchange.

Add Location Pins

To start you need to feed your selected Alias with some location.

Virtual Vaccine Modes

Although your PRIVATE Alias gives you perfect memory (e.g. history of your movements), when there is a large outbreak, it might takes too long to be notified out-of-band (e.g. through TV news) that you might be exposed and wait for you to submit your movement manually.

When there is an outbreak you can OPTIONALLY use your ANONYMOUS Alias to submit some of your data to the Fiduciary Exchange under the protection of novel technologies like Dynamic Alias and Fuzzy Block.

Instead of submitting data directly to the government, Fiduciary Exchange allows your data to be processed and shared differently under your FULL CONTROL depending on the current threat level.

  1. ANONYMOUS Alias can be used in Defensive Mode - when there is no outbreak. You do NOT have to submit any data to Fiduciary Exchange, only basic automatic logging on your phone and manual scanning of mandatory QR codes, thus saving battery, data traffic and manual effort.

  2. MEMBER Alias can be used on Offensive Mode - when there is an outbreak. You can send your privacy protected data into the Fiduciary Exchange, turn on intensive automatic logging and perform frequent manual scanning of voluntary QR codes or tapping on Virtual Markers in locations without QR codes.

The anonymity and speed of Exposure Notifications sent by the Fiduciary Exchange are controlled by the citizens themselves based on their own circumstances.

Fiduciary Exchange uses blockchains to scale up linearly according to demand and to protect against bad citizens with malicious intents. The more citizens, the more data, the more devices, the more anonymity, the more security.

Community Map

Citizens can choose to contribute public data to the Community Map available at https://map.contacttrace.com.au under the protection of the Fiduciary Exchange's Dynamic Alias.

People accessing the Community Map can use the different trust levels assigned by Fiduciary Exchange to get an indication of the quality of different information provided on the map by different Aliases.

From COVID test queue lengths to availability of Pfizer vaccine at a GP, any information relevant to the COVID fight is welcomed.

vaccine2

The Community Map is also using the Bluetooth and Wifi signals (collected as part of the Data Fusion function) donated by some citizen volunteers to to build a terrestrial indoor friendly Geopositioning Network. No need for foreign satellites and rockets, a national critical infrastructure built and owned by the citizens!

Being In Control

By storing your data on your device AND performing computation on them yourself, you retain control and thus ownership of your data.

For people who are used to submitting their data PASSIVELY to the Cloud, the freedom of controlling their data ACTIVELY can be a liberating experience.

                Those who don't move, don't notice their chains.
                - Rosa Luxemburg

Disclosing your data to enrich or to enslave, to protect or to attack, to gain or to deliver value ... now it is YOUR choice and no longer the Cloud's choice.

If the ringtone has been created successfully, it will be shown as below.

status_alias_created

For more details on using Custom Ringtone, please visit the user guide for android or ios

The status Ringtone can be used in two different ways:

  1. Block Notification
  2. Realtime Notification

Block Notification

In order to enable the Status Ringtone to a particular area block, go to the Add Location Pins button, -> Time Blocks and select the Block Notification button.

block_notification

Select the Block Notification to be enabled. In the example below, the Health - Positive PCR (ppr) block notification has been selected. Select the Submit button to have this status enabled.

pcr_positive

Once enabled, the Block Notification button will display the number of enabled notification. In the example below, there is one enabled notification.

block_notification_enabled

Users who enable the Health - positive PCR (ppr) status block notification within the same area block and within the same 30 minute block will trigger their devices to ring, when the Positive PCR (ppr) status is submitted and the number of minimum callers set is reached.

ppr_activated

To check the message sent by each user (if any), simply select on the Check button. In the example above, the messages sent from the two users are User 1 at 13:33 and User 2 at 13:50.

Please note:
Block Notification is based on when the Block Notification is first enabled, e.g: a Block Notification with Positive Result status is enabled on User 1's phone at 13:32 and on User 2's phone at 13:48. User 1 submits the Positive Result status at 13:33 and User 2 submits the Positive Result status at 13:50. This will trigger both devices to ring.

Realtime Notification

The Realtime Notification is triggered for all newly added pins after the Realtime Notification has been enabled. In the example below, all newly added pins with the General - flooding hazard (rfh) or General - active shooter (ras) enabled within the same area block and within the same 30 minute block will trigger the system to ring all the devices.

realtime_notification_enabled

Please note:
This notification remains active indefinitely for all newly added pins, however the status is checked per 30 minute block. Example: a Flooding Hazard (rfh) status is enabled at 12:00, then all pins added with the Flooding Hazard Realtime Notification enabled from 12:00-12:30 will trigger all devices to ring, if the minimum number of callers set is reached.

Payment

There are currently three accepted different payment methods:

  1. Credit Card (credit card verification required and only Visa and Mastercard are accepted)
  2. BPay
  3. Bank Deposit

The minimum Alias ID top-up amount is $20.00.

oztell_payment_method

Wallet

Console

Console indicates the number of blocks which have been submitted.

Every time there is a pin added, whether it is a Web pin, a Touch pin, a QR pin or an Imported pin and a Status is submitted, it will be reflected in the Console number.

Example:

Three pins added.

3pins_added

Status submitted.

status_submitted

Three different status submitted, but they are within the same block.

same_block

The Console number is 1 although the number of status submitted is 3, because all are within the same block.

console_number

Click on the Console and a new window will display the number of status submitted (one "Y" indicates one status submitted). In the example below, there are three different status submitted.

console_status_submitted

Exchange

Every time a pin is added and a status is submitted, it will also be reflected in the "Exchange" number, which is the number of coins earned.

exchange_number

However, if there is one or more submitted pins in the same block and within the same 30 minute block as the the other pins, only the "Console" will reflect the number of submitted status (the number of "Y") and not the "Exchange" number.

Citizen Timeline

Virtual Vaccine

Although your Private Alias gives you perfect memory (e.g. history of your movements), when there is a large outbreak, it might takes too long to be notified out-of-band (e.g. through TV news) that you might be exposed and wait for you to submit your movement manually.

When there is an outbreak you can OPTIONALLY use your Anonymous Alias to submit some of your data to the Citizen Timeline under the protection of novel technologies like Dynamic Alias and Fuzzy Block.

Instead of submitting data directly to the government, Citizen Timeline allows your data to be processed and shared differently under your FULL CONTROL depending on the current threat level.

  1. Private Alias can be used in Defensive Mode - when there is no outbreak. You do NOT have to submit any data to Citizen Timeline, only basic automatic logging on your phone and manual scanning of mandatory QR codes, thus saving battery, data traffic and manual effort.
  2. Anonymous Alias can be used on Offensive Mode - when there is an outbreak. You can send your privacy protected data into the Citizen Timeline, turn on intensive automatic logging and perform frequent manual scanning of voluntary QR codes or tapping on Virtual Markers in locations without QR codes.

The anonymity and speed of Exposure Notifications sent by the Citizen Timeline are controlled by the citizens themselves based on their own circumstances.

Citizen Timeline uses blockchains to scale up linearly according to demand and to protect against bad citizens with malicious intents. The more citizens, the more data, the more devices, the more anonymity, the more security.

The unique URL is revealed and it is automatically copied to the clipboard when the Share link is selected.

share_pin_url

This URL can be shared via email, SMS, instant messaging apps etc.

Note: Whether it is a Web Pin, a Touch Pin, a QR pin or a Phonetrack pin, the shared pin is always displayed using a purple square icon.

In this example, the URL is https://app1.contacttrace.com.au/?share=_LR0A01s1P8nxg7jMPMm2nEeOiouA6QBnMUugmsuf therefore characters _L are displayed on the purple square icon.
