Claims48
A method including:
- generating item identity data that identifies an item based on data acquired by a sensor configured to be carried by a person when the person is located within line of sight of the item, in which the item is tangible, physical, and capable of being an object of a potential relationship instance, the sensor being used for sensing the item;
- transmitting, across a network, a request with initial data, the initial data derived at least in part from the item identity data;
- receiving, across the network and in response to the request, a response based on the initial data, the response including resource information about the potential relationship instance;
- and
- in response to the receiving the resource information, displaying, on a display configured to be visible by the person, display data derived from the resource information and indicating an aspect of the potential relationship instance.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause operations to be performed, the operations including:
- generating item identity data that identifies an item based on data acquired by a sensor configured to be carried by a person when the person is located within line of sight of the item, in which the item is tangible, physical, and capable of being an object of a potential relationship instance, the sensor being used for sensing the item;
- transmitting, across a network, a request with initial data, the initial data derived at least in part from the item identity data;
- receiving, across the network and in response to the request, a response based on the initial data, the response including resource information about the potential relationship instance;
- and
- in response to the receiving the resource information, displaying, on a display configured to be visible by the person, display data derived from the resource information and indicating an aspect of the potential relationship instance.
