Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating social communication are disclosed. A system includes a first portable social client including an encoder configured to associate identity information with an optical signal pattern, and an optical signal transmitter configured to broadcast the optical signal pattern in a series of pulses in a non-visible light spectrum, and a second portable social client including an optical signal receiver configured to receive the optical signal pattern in the non-visible light spectrum, and a decoder configured to access the identity information associated with the optical signal pattern.
Claims28
A system, comprising:
- a portable social client including:
- a memory configured to store at least outbound identity information related to a user of the portable social client;
- an encoder configured to associate at least the outbound identity information from the memory with an outbound optical signal pattern;
- and
- an optical signal transmitter configured to broadcast the outbound optical signal pattern.
A method for exchanging social information, comprising:
- providing outbound identity information related to an identity of a user wearing a portable social client;
- generating an outbound optical signal pattern associated with the outbound identity information;
- and
- broadcasting the outbound optical signal pattern associated with the outbound identity information using an optical signal transmitter of the portable social client.
A system, comprising:
- a first portable social client including an encoder configured to associate identity information with an optical signal pattern, and an optical signal transmitter configured to broadcast the optical signal pattern in a series of pulses in a non-visible light spectrum;
- and
- a second portable social client including an optical signal receiver configured to receive the optical signal pattern in the non-visible light spectrum, and a decoder configured to access the identity information associated with the optical signal pattern.
