Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses may provide for the auto-determination of collective commonalities among users located within an environment. Once determined, a number of features may be further described for management of interactions within the environment.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- detecting a plurality of mobile devices, wherein the plurality of devices are within a first micro environment at a venue, wherein the plurality of devices comprise a first mobile device and a second mobile device, wherein the second mobile device is in proximity to the first mobile device;
- obtaining first information associated with a first user associated with the first mobile device;
- obtaining second information associated with a second user associated with the second mobile device;
- comparing the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device with second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;
- in response to the comparing, determining that a subset of the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device is similar to a subset of the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;
- based on the determining, defining virtual boundaries of a second micro-environment within the venue to comprise the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
- and
- sending an alert to the first mobile device and the second mobile device, the alert comprising an assignment to the second micro-environment within the venue.

A computer readable storage medium that is not a signal per se storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
- detecting a plurality of mobile devices, wherein the plurality of devices are within a first micro environment at a venue, wherein the plurality of devices comprise a first mobile device and a second mobile device, wherein the second mobile device is in proximity to the first mobile device;
- obtaining first information associated with a first user associated with the first mobile device;
- obtaining second information associated with a second user associated with the second mobile device;
- comparing the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device with second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;
- in response to the comparing, determining that a subset of the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device is similar to a subset of the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;
- based on the determining, defining virtual boundaries of a second micro-environment within the venue to comprise the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
- and
- sending an alert to the first mobile device and the second mobile device, the alert comprising an assignment to the second micro-environment within the venue.

A system comprising:
- a first mobile device located at a venue;
- and
- a server communicatively connected with the first mobile device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining first information associated with a first user associated with the first mobile device;
- obtaining second information associated with a second user associated with the second mobile device located at the venue;
- comparing the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device with second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;
- in response to the comparing, determining that a subset of the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device is similar to a subset of the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;
- based on the determining, defining virtual boundaries of a second micro-environment to comprise the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
- and
- sending an alert to the first mobile device and the second mobile device, the alert comprising an assignment to the second micro-environment.
