Abstract
An interaction point includes a hardware-based processor, a local cache data store that stores attraction data pertaining to an entertainment attraction, and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader that receives electromagnetic radiation of a wearable electronic device indicative of an interaction with the interaction point. The hardware-based processor, based upon the interaction with the interaction point: causes feedback to be rendered by the wearable electronic device, causes modification to at least a portion of the attraction data, or both.
Claims20
A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to:
- store attraction data of a distributed attraction comprising a plurality of distributed interaction points;
- identify one or more subscriber interaction points, comprising a subset of the plurality of distributed interaction points that have subscribed to a first portion of the attraction data, by providing a request for the first portion of the attraction data prior to an interaction indicated by the first portion of the attraction data;
- and
- provide the first portion of the attraction data to the one or more subscriber interaction points, while refraining from providing the first portion of the attraction data to distributed interaction points outside of the one or more subscriber interaction points.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- storing attraction data of a distributed attraction comprising a plurality of distributed interaction points;
- identifying one or more subscriber interaction points of the plurality of distributed interaction points that have subscribed to a first portion of the attraction data, by providing a request for the first portion of the attraction data prior to an interaction indicated by the first portion of the attraction data;
- and
- providing the first portion of the attraction data to the one or more subscriber interaction points, while refraining from providing the first portion of the attraction data to distributed interaction points outside of the one or more subscriber interaction points.
A distributed attraction, comprising:
- a plurality of distributed interaction points configured to perform localized processing of attraction data based upon interactions by a participant of the distributed attraction;
- a centralized computer system, configured to:
- store the attraction data of the distributed attraction;
- identify one or more subscriber interaction points of the plurality of distributed interaction points that have subscribed to a first portion of the attraction data, by providing a request for the first portion of the attraction data prior to an interaction indicated by the first portion of the attraction data;
- and
- provide the first portion of the attraction data to the one or more subscriber interaction points, while refraining from providing the first portion of the attraction data to distributed interaction points outside of the one or more subscriber interaction points.
