Abstract
Systems and methods for determining proximity of architectural structure coverings. A user device receives a broadcast signal from each of a plurality of architectural structure coverings. An ordered list of the plurality of the architectural structure coverings is then maintained based on the broadcast signal. At least a portion of the ordered list is displayed on a display of the user device.
Claims39
A system for determining proximity of a plurality of architectural structure coverings, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to:
- receive a broadcast signal from each of the plurality of architectural structure coverings, wherein a broadcast signal received from an architectural structure covering indicates at least an edifice identification;
- authenticate or filter the edifice identification indicated in a received broadcast signal;
- maintain an ordered list of the plurality of the architectural structure coverings based on received broadcast signals;
- and
- display at least a portion of the ordered list on a display.
A method for determining proximity of a plurality of architectural structure coverings, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user device, a broadcast signal from each of the plurality of architectural structure coverings, wherein a broadcast signal received from an architectural structure covering includes informational data of the architectural structure covering and an edifice identification;
- authenticating or filtering the edifice identification included in a received broadcast signal;
- generating, by the user device and based on received broadcast signals, an ordered list of each of the plurality of architectural structure coverings;
- and
- displaying, by the user device, the ordered list, wherein the ordered list includes a type of each of the plurality of architectural structure coverings based on the informational data.
An architectural structure covering system comprising:
- a plurality of architectural structure coverings, wherein each of the plurality of architectural structure coverings is configured to generate a broadcast signal that indicates an edifice identification;
- a user device configured to:
- receive the broadcast signal from each of the plurality of architectural structure coverings;
- authenticate or filter the edifice identification indicated in a received broadcast signal;
- generate, based received broadcast signals, a list of the plurality of architectural structure coverings, wherein the list indicates (i) a first architectural structure covering and a second architectural structure covering, and (ii) that the first architectural structure covering has a closer proximity to the user device than the second architectural structure covering that has a farther proximity to the user device;
- and
- display the list.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, upon execution on a device, configure the device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first signal from a first architectural structural covering and a second signal from a second structural covering, wherein each of the first signal and the second signal indicates at least an edifice identification;
- authenticating or filtering the edifice identification indicated in a received signal;
- determining, based on the first signal and the second signal, a group of architectural structural coverings, the group including informational data about the first architectural structural covering;
- and
- displaying, on a user interface, a list of architectural structural coverings, the list indicating that at least the first architectural structural covering belongs to the group.
