Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for sharing a discovery. The method may include receiving a first announcement from an announcement device, receiving a share instruction indicating that the received announcement is of interest to the user of the mobile device; generating discovery sharing data based on the received first announcement in response to the share instruction, transmitting the discovery sharing data to an external server, receiving an update indicator from the external server indicating that the metadata associated with the mobile device has been updated, and generating a second announcement associated with the mobile device based on the update indicator.
Claims30
A method for a mobile device to share a discovery, comprising:
- receiving a first announcement from an announcement device;
- receiving a share instruction indicating that the received announcement is of interest to the user of the mobile device;
- generating discovery sharing data based on the received first announcement in response to the share instruction;
- transmitting the discovery sharing data to an external server;
- receiving an update indicator from the external server indicating that the metadata associated with the mobile device has been updated;
- and
- generating a second announcement associated with the mobile device based on the update indicator.
A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a first announcement from an announcement device;
- receive a share instruction indicating that the received announcement is of interest to the user of the mobile device;
- generate discovery sharing data based on the received first announcement in response to the share instruction;
- transmit the discovery sharing data to an external server;
- receive an update indicator from the external server indicating that the metadata associated with the mobile device has been updated;
- and
- generate a second announcement associated with the mobile device based on the update indicator;
- and
- a memory, coupled to the processor, to store related data and instructions.
An apparatus for sharing a discovery, comprising:
- means for receiving a first announcement from an announcement device;
- means for receiving a share instruction indicating that the received announcement is of interest to the user of the mobile device;
- means for generating discovery sharing data based on the received first announcement in response to the share instruction;
- means for transmitting the discovery sharing data to an external server;
- means for receiving an update indicator from the external server indicating that the metadata associated with the mobile device has been updated;
- and
- means for generating a second announcement associated with the mobile device based on the update indicator.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations for sharing a discovery, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
- code for receiving a first announcement from an announcement device;
- code for receiving a share instruction indicating that the received announcement is of interest to the user of the mobile device;
- code for generating discovery sharing data based on the received first announcement in response to the share instruction;
- code for transmitting the discovery sharing data to an external server;
- code for receiving an update indicator from the external server indicating that the metadata associated with the mobile device has been updated;
- and
- code for generating a second announcement associated with the mobile device based on the update indicator.
