Abstract
Methods and systems for providing information to a user are described. Multiple mobile devices can individually collect data and feed the data to beacons in a location. The information can include sound data, light data, motion data, health and wellness related data, humidity data, and/or temperature data. The beacons receive this data from multiple users and transmit it to a service provider. The service provider collects the data from the beacons and provides the data to one or more users.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory;
- and
- one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- generating, using an output device, an audio output within a geographical boundary;
- determining that one or more mobile devices are within the geographical boundary based on location data obtained from the one or more mobile devices;
- determining, for each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices, a corresponding location within the geographical boundary;
- retrieving, from said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices, corresponding audio data during a time period, wherein the corresponding audio data represents an audio intensity of the audio output detected by said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices;
- associating the corresponding audio data retrieved from said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices with the corresponding location corresponding to said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices;
- creating a real time audio data map based on the corresponding audio data and the corresponding location of said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices within the geographical boundary, wherein the real time audio data map represents audio intensities obtained from said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices at different locations within the geographical boundary;
- determining a location of the output device based on the real time audio data map;
- visually indicating the location of the output device within the real time audio data map;
- and
- modifying, using the output device the audio output based on the real time audio data map.

A method, comprising:
- generating, by one or more hardware processors using an output device, an audio signal within a geographical boundary;
- retrieving, by the one or more hardware processors from each mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices located within the geographical boundary, corresponding audio data during a time period, wherein the corresponding audio data represents an audio intensity of the audio signal detected by said each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices;
- determining, by the one or more hardware processors for said each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, a corresponding location within the geographical boundary;
- associating, by the one or more hardware processors, the corresponding audio data retrieved from said each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices with the corresponding location corresponding to said each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices;
- creating, by the one or more hardware processors, a real time audio data map based on the corresponding audio data and the corresponding location of said each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices within the geographical boundary, wherein the real time audio data map represents audio intensities from said each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices at different locations within the geographical boundary;
- and
- determining a location of the output device based on the real time audio data map;
- visually indicating the location of the output device within the real time audio data map;
- and
- modifying, by the one or more hardware processors using the output device, the audio signal based on the real time audio data map.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
- generating, using an output device, an audio output within a geographical boundary;
- determining that one or more mobile devices are within the geographical boundary based on location data obtained from the one or more mobile devices;
- determining, for each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices, a corresponding location within the geographical boundary;
- retrieving, from said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices, corresponding audio data during a time period, wherein the corresponding audio data represents an audio intensity of the audio output detected by said each mobile device of the one or more of mobile devices;
- associating the corresponding audio data retrieved from said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices with the corresponding location corresponding to said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices;
- creating a real time audio data map based on the corresponding audio data and the corresponding location of said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices within the geographical boundary, wherein the real time audio data map represents audio intensities obtained from said each mobile device of the one or more mobile devices at different locations within the geographical boundary;
- determining a location of the output device based on the real time audio data map;
- visually indicating the location of the output device within the real time audio data map;
- and
- modifying, using the output device, the audio output based on the real time audio data map.
