Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable privacy system comprising:
 a privacy shield having:
 a top edge, 
 a bottom edge, 
 a first side edge and 
 a second side edge, wherein:
 the top edge having a length of about a length of approximately a sum of two sides and an end of a top support; 
 the bottom edge having a length of about a length of approximately the sum of two sides and the end of the top support; 
 the first side edge having a length of about a height from the top support to a ground plane; and 
 the second side edge having a length of about the height from the top support to the ground plane. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top support is a rear hatch of a vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the vehicle is a van, a minivan, or an SUV. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the top edge includes a plurality of attachment points configured to temporarily secure the privacy shield to the top support. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein each of the first side edge and the second side edge includes a plurality of attachment points configured to temporarily secure the privacy shield to a support for the top support. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of attachment points are permanent magnets. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the top support is a rear hatch of a vehicle and the support is a side of the vehicle. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom edge includes a plurality of weighted regions. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the length of the top edge is between 100 inches and 140 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the height from the top support to the ground plane is between 70 inches and 90 inches. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the top edge and the bottom edge is between about 100 inches and 140 inches, and each of the first side edge and the second side edge is between 70 inches and 90 inches. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the privacy shield is a fabric or plastic sheet. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the privacy shield includes triangular accordion panels. 
     
     
         14 . A portable privacy system comprising:
 a privacy shield having:
 a top edge, 
 a bottom edge, 
 a first side edge and 
 a second side edge, wherein:
 the top edge has a length of approximately the sum of a length between two top supports and twice a height from a top support to a ground plane; and 
 the first side edge includes a first portion having a length of one of the two top supports. 
 
   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the first side edge further includes a second portion having a length that is the height from the top support to a ground plane. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the second portion is a side of a flap having a width of approximately the length between two top supports. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the top support is a top of a rear French door of a vehicle. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the top edge includes a plurality of attachment points configured to temporarily secure the privacy shield to the top support. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the length of the top edge is between 136 inches and 300 inches. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the first side edge is between 65 inches and 150 inches. 
     
     
         21 . A method of forming a temporary private location comprising:
 deploying a privacy shield having a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge on a top support to form the temporary private location.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein
 the top edge has a length of about a length of approximately a sum of two sides and an end of the top support;   the bottom edge has a length of about a length of approximately a sum of two sides and an end of the top support;   the first side edge having a length of about a height from the top support to a ground plane;   the second side edge having a length of about a height from the top support to a ground plane.   
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the top edge has a length of approximately the sum of a length between two top supports and twice a height from a top support to a ground plane; and the first side edge includes a first portion having a length of one of the two top supports. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising removing the privacy shield from the top support.
