Abstract
Delivering information according to a recipient's location by modulating an optical carrier according to a data set, transmitting the optical carrier in a first direction, altering the path of the carrier wave according to an optical carrier wavelength, receiving recipient location information, and altering the optical carrier wavelength or optical carrier path according to the recipient location information.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for delivering information according to a recipient's location, the method comprising:
- modulating an optical carrier according to a data set, the data set having a direction-dependent context varying according to an initial recipient location relative to a source;
- transmitting the optical carrier in a first direction from the source;
- altering a path of the optical carrier according to an optical carrier wavelength and the initial recipient location relative to the source;
- receiving recipient location information following movement of the recipient;
- and
- altering the optical carrier wavelength or optical carrier path according to the recipient location information.
A computer program product for delivering information according to a recipient's location, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage devices and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage devices, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to modulate an optical carrier according to a data set, the data set having a direction-dependent context varying according to an initial recipient location relative to a source;
- program instructions to transmit the optical carrier in a first direction from the source;
- program instructions to alter a path of the optical carrier according to an optical carrier wavelength and the initial recipient location;
- program instructions to receive recipient location information following movement of the recipient;
- and
- program instructions to alter the optical carrier wavelength or optical carrier path according to the recipient location information.
A computer system for delivering information according to a recipient's location, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage devices;
- and
- stored program instructions on the one or more computer readable storage devices for execution by the one or more computer processors, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to modulate an optical carrier according to a data set, the data set having a direction-dependent context varying according to an initial recipient location relative to a source;
- program instructions to transmit the optical carrier in a first direction from the source;
- program instructions to alter a path of the optical carrier according to an optical carrier wavelength and the initial recipient location relative to the source;
- program instructions to receive recipient location information following movement of the recipient;
- and
- program instructions to alter the optical carrier wavelength or optical carrier path according to the recipient location information.
