Any data collected by you under Private Alias do NOT leave your phone, in fact most Private Alias functions remain available even when your phone has NO internet connection.
Creating Private Aliases
Create your own Private Alias with just ONE CLICK ... that will install the Personal Console software on your phone.
All Personal Consoles come an unqiue randomly generated Private Alias, so you can start using the console to collect data for your own consumption under that private alias immediately.
Using Private Aliases
Unlike the other dynamic aliases, private alias is NOT designed to share data.
An use case of Private Alias is during a pandemic (e.g. COVID), you do NOT want to share your location in real time for contact tracing, but you do want to keep a detailed track where you have been. When the government announces COVID cases you can see whether you have been potentially infected.
Storing Private Aliases
You can create multiple private aliases to collect different data, you can also export them from the console or import them into the console at anytime.
Exported aliases are stored encrypted on your phone, which you can back up using your standard mobile phone backup routine (like photos on your phone).

Location Files
Read from Phone
Import a .gpx file located in the mobile's local storage (normally located in the Download folder), so the location pins can be displayed on the map. In the example below, the .gpx file is imported from the device's local storage Download folder.
Save to Phone
Export the current pins shown on the map to a .gpx file to be stored in the mobile's local storage (normally to the Download folder). There is an option to encrypt the data by entering a password.
The Barcode Application runs fully in a web browser (e.g. on Android and iOS phones) without any server backend and no interaction with any Mobile Phone App Stores.
The barcode is scanned and the resulting data stored data on the phone, ensuring maximum privacy.
1. Barcode Format
1D Barcode formats currently supported:
Codabar
Code 128
Code 39
Code 39 VIN - use for Vehicle Identification Number
Code 93
EAN-8
EAN-13
EAN Extended - use for serial books EAN13 + UPC5
Interleaved 2 of 5
Standard 2 of 5
UPC-A
UPC-E - compressed UPC-A
Default barcode format is EAN-13.
The older UPC-A format, still in common use, is automatically converted to EAN-13 by adding a zero "0" in front.
2. Barcode Size
For trouble free scanning, barcodes should follow the relevant standards e.g. EAN-13 barcodes should have the following:
Minimum Width 26mm
Minimum Height 19mm
Minimum Left and Right Clearance 3mm
Top and Bottom Clearance 3mm is preferred but not required.
3. Camera Capture
The phone's built in camera will be used to capture the barcode.
The barcode lines MUST be parallel to the SHORT side of the camera view.
Notice in the images below, whether it is in landscape view or in portrait view, the barcode's vertical lines must be aligned in the same direction with the shorter side of the phone's screen.
The barcode image should be Large and Clear (zoomed in and sharply focused)
If the phone camera performance is poor, the Barcode Client can alternatively accept images from other sources (e.g. SMS, Bluetooth, AirDrop etc.) uploaded from the phone's file system.
If the barcode is detected successfully, it will be shown as below
Console Encrypt enables users to encrypt and decrypt files easily by uploading from the mobile phone's local storage. To protect the files, a Password or a Public Key can be used.
Note: There is a limit of 1GB for a single file when using a mobile browser.
There are three available functions on Console Measure:
1. Pixel Measurement - button for Measuring Pixel
2. button for Counting Steps
3. Angle Measurement - Browser Compass
Pixel Measurement
The button allows users to upload photos and measure the number of pixels between 2 points.
Select the Choose file button and browse to the image location. Draw a line by selecting two different points and a green line will appear as shown in the image below.
1V2 means vertical reference of 2 metres high with 1x zoom level landscape.
V2L1 (landscape mode) = horizontal distance x vertical pixel / vertical height
Example: 2.70m x 2982px / 2 = 4025.70
horizontal distance = camera reference x vertical height / vertical pixel
Example: 4025.70 x 2 / 2982px = 2.70m
vertical height = horizontal distance x vertical pixel / camera reference
Example: 2.70m x 2982px / 4025.70 = 2.0m
Counting Steps
After the green button is pressed, it will change to orange and shows the number of steps detected. In the example below, the number of steps detected is 7.
Click on the button located at the bottom left hand corner.
Click on the button, then click on the button and enter the Name of the file that is going to be saved locally. In the example below, the name of the file is called localfile.
