1. A method, comprising acts of:
- (A) during an event at which a musical artist performs music in an event venue, causing a wearable receiving unit to manifest a first state change via transmission, from at least one first location at the event venue, of at least one signal to the at least one wearable receiving unit; and
(B) after the event, causing the wearable receiving unit to manifest a second state change, via transmission to the wearable receiving unit of at least one signal by a mobile device at a location other than that at the event venue, in response to the mobile device detecting music performed by the musical artist.

Abstract
In some embodiments, techniques are provided for extending the functionality of a receiving unit which is configured to express a state during an event. In some embodiments, a receiving unit configured to receive a first set of transmissions during an event from one or more transmitting units and express a state in response may also be configured to receive a second set of transmissions from other components at a time other than during the event and express a state in response to receiving the second set of transmissions.

6. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one computer-readable storage medium, having instructions encoded thereon; and at least one computer processor, programmed via the instructions to; during an event at which a musical artist performs music in an event venue, cause a wearable receiving unit to manifest a first state change via transmission, from at least one first location at the event venue, of at least one signal to the at least one wearable receiving unit; and after the event, cause the wearable receiving unit to manifest a second state change, via transmission to the wearable receiving unit of at least one signal by a mobile device at a location other than that at the event venue, in response to the mobile device detecting music performed by the musical artist. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. At least one computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon which, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising acts of:
-
(A) during an event at which a musical artist performs music in an event venue, causing a wearable receiving unit to manifest a first state change via transmission, from at least one first location at the event venue, of at least one signal to the at least one wearable receiving unit; and (B) after the event, causing the wearable receiving unit to manifest a second state change, via transmission to the wearable receiving unit of at least one signal by a mobile device at a location other than that at the event venue, in response to the mobile device detecting music performed by the musical artist. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising acts of:
-
(A) during an event at which each of a plurality of users is provided a corresponding wearable receiving unit, causing at least one of the wearable receiving units to manifest a first state change via transmission, from at least one first location, of at least one electromagnetic signal to the at least one wearable receiving unit; and (B) causing the at least one wearable receiving unit to manifest a second state change at a time other than during the event, the second state change comprising the at least one wearable receiving unit capturing information relating to an environmental condition detectable by the at least one wearable receiving unit and transmitting at least one signal in response to capturing the information.
