Abstract
Technologies are generally described for providing a locative social networking service utilizing wireless access point. In some examples, a method performed under control of a mobile device may include connecting to a wireless local area network, finding at least one other mobile device connected to the wireless local area network and satisfying a predetermined condition, and for each found mobile device, requesting a public user profile associated with the found mobile device, in response to the request, receiving the public user profile associated with the found mobile device, and for each found mobile device from which an associated public user profile is received, transmitting to the found mobile device a public user profile associated with the mobile device.
Claims34
A method, comprising:
- connecting to a wireless local area network;
- finding a mobile device connected to the wireless local area network and satisfying a predetermined condition;
- requesting a user profile associated with the mobile device;
- in response to an authorization by the mobile device to send the user profile, receiving the user profile associated with the mobile device;
- and
- transmitting to the mobile device a different user profile that is not associated with the mobile device.
A method, comprising:
- connecting to a wireless local area network;
- identifying a mobile device connected to the wireless local area network, the mobile device satisfying a predetermined condition;
- in response to an authorization by the mobile device, exchanging with the mobile device a plurality of user profiles, the plurality of user profiles comprising at least a first user profile associated with the mobile device and a second user profile not associated with the mobile device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processing device to perform operations, comprising:
- connecting to a wireless local area network;
- finding at least one mobile device connected to the wireless local area network and satisfying a predetermined condition;
- and
- for each found mobile device,
- requesting a user profile associated with the found mobile device;
- in response to an authorization by the found mobile device to transmit the user profile associated with the found mobile device, receiving the user profile associated with the found mobile device;
- and
- for each found mobile device from which an associated user profile is received, transmitting to the found mobile device a different user profile that is not associated with the found mobile device.
A system, comprising:
- a memory to store instructions;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, to execute or facilitate execution of the instructions to at least connect to a wireless local area network, find a mobile device connected to the wireless local area network that satisfies a predetermined condition, request a user profile associated with the mobile device, receive the user profile associated with the mobile device in response to an authorization by the mobile device to send the user profile, and transmit to the mobile device a different user profile that is not associated with the mobile device.
A system, comprising:
- means for connecting to a wireless local area network;
- means for identifying a mobile device connected to the wireless local area network, the mobile device satisfying a predetermined condition;
- and
- means for exchanging with the mobile device a plurality of user profiles in response to a permission by the mobile device, the plurality of user profiles comprising at least a first user profile associated with the mobile device and a second user profile not associated with the mobile device.
