Abstract
An augmented reality device engages in a mutual exchange of negotiated services with another device with a signal determined to have exhibited an area transition effect. The augmented reality device identifies, from a plurality of signals in the ambient environment, a subset of signals that have exhibited the area transition effect. From among the subset, the device identifies a signal that is indicative of support for the negotiation protocol. The negotiation is conducted with a second device associated with the corresponding signal.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a receiver;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory having stored thereon executable instructions that, in response to execution by the at least one processor, cause the device to:
- identify, from among a plurality of signals received by the receiver, one or more signals associated with an area transition effect;
- select a first signal from among the one or more signals, based at least in part on determining that the first signal comprises information indicative of a second device that supports negotiation of services;
- and
- determine a set of services to make available to the second device, based at least in part on the negotiation of services.
A method, comprising:
- identifying, from among a plurality of received signals, one or more signals associated with an area transition effect;
- selecting a first signal from among the one or more signals, based at least in part on determining that the first signal comprises information indicative of a second device supporting negotiation of services;
- and
- determining one or more services to make available to the second device, based at least in part on a negotiation of services with the second device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, in response to being executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to at least:
- identify, from among a plurality of received signals, one or more signals associated with an area transition effect;
- select a first signal from among the one or more signals, based at least in part on determining that the first signal comprises information indicative of a second device supporting negotiation of services;
- and
- determine one or more services to make available to the second device, based at least in part on a negotiation of services with the second device.
