Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to identifying and notifying a user of nearby attendees at a mega attendance event who are in user's social graph by comparing the user's social graph to a list of event attendees. The identified attendees can be stratified into social graph tags that annotate, categorize and prioritize other users in the user's social graph. The technology disclosed also relates to identifying and notifying the user of nearby attendees of sessions at the event who meet introduction preferences of the user by finding matches between introduction preference attributes specified by the user and attributes of the attendees provided by the list of event attendees.
Claims19
A method for proximate interaction between devices, wherein each device comprises a user interface and an application including content, wherein the content of a portion of the devices is not enabled and the devices are configured to enable the content based at least in part on a proximity threshold with another device of the devices which has the content enabled, the proximity threshold based on a short-range wireless communication protocol directly between a device with the content which is not enabled and the another device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first device of the devices and from a second device of the devices, a signal conveying a proximity between the first device and the second device;
- determining, by the first device, that the proximity threshold is satisfied based at least in part on receiving the signal;
- and
- receiving, by the first device and from the second device, a token causing the content to be enabled at the first device based at least in part on determining that the proximity threshold is satisfied.
An apparatus at a first device for proximate interaction between devices, wherein each device comprises a user interface and an application including content, wherein the content of a portion of the devices is not enabled and the devices are configured to enable the content based at least in part on a proximity threshold with another device of the devices which has the content enabled, the proximity threshold based on a short-range wireless communication protocol directly between a device with the content which is not enabled and the another device, comprising:
- a processor,
- memory in electronic communication with the processor, and
- instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
- receive, by the first device of the devices and from a second device of the devices, a signal conveying a proximity between the first device and the second device;
- determine, by the first device, that the proximity threshold is satisfied based at least in part on receiving the signal;
- and
- receive, by the first device and from the second device, a token causing the content to be enabled at the first device based at least in part on determining that the proximity threshold is satisfied.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium on a first device storing code for proximate interaction between devices, wherein each device comprises a user interface and an application including content, wherein the content of a portion of the devices is not enabled and the devices are configured to enable the content based at least in part on a proximity threshold with another device of the devices which has the content enabled, the proximity threshold based on a short-range wireless communication protocol directly between a device with the content which is not enabled and the another device, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
- receive, by the first device of the devices and from a second device of the devices, a signal conveying a proximity between the first device and the second device;
- determine, by the first device, that the proximity threshold is satisfied based at least in part on receiving the signal;
- and
- receive, by the first device and from the second device, a token causing the content to be enabled at the first device based at least in part on determining that the proximity threshold is satisfied.
