Abstract
A method for discovering resources includes identifying one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices. A resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers is identified. Identification occurs without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers. The mobile device is caused to display data corresponding to the identified resource
Claims20
A method for discovering resources, comprising:
- identifying one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices;
- identifying, without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers, a resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers;
- and
- causing a display by the mobile device of data corresponding to the identified resource.
A computer readable medium having instructions that when executed by a mobile device cause the implementation of a method, the method comprising:
- identifying one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices;
- identifying, without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers, a resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers;
- and
- causing a display by the mobile device of data corresponding to the identified resource.
A system for discovering resources, comprising:
- a transceiver engine configured to receive data identifying a one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices;
- a resource engine configured to identify, without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers, a resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers;
- and
- a display engine configured to cause a display by the mobile device of data corresponding to the resource.
The system of claim 18 wherein:
- the resource engine is configured to identify a context by identifying at least one of the mobile device's ability to interact with one or more resource types, a user's desire to interact with a given resource type, and requirements of a user's desired interaction;
- and
- the resource engine is configured to identify a resource by identifying a resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers and that is at least one of:
- a resource with which the mobile device is able to interact;
- a resource of a type which a user desire's to interact, and
- a resource compatible with the requirements of a user's desired interaction.
