Context sensitive streaming system and method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a first computing part, having a first capability of receiving context-sensitive information, a second part which communicates using a limited distance communication, said first computing part inferring proximity based on receiving said limited distance information, and determines information about said context sensitive information based on said proximity.

Abstract
A system of delivering personalized streaming content to a destination based on automatic detection of context. A thin stream gateway delivers content to all devices in range, where the range is intentionally limited. Bidirectional communication is established between a fixed and a mobile gateway. The mobile gateway deduces its location from the streams received by the fixed gateway. The mobile gateway provides personal information to the fixed gateway. Handoff between gateways is also supported. The gateways can also form a blanket, that can be used to support ad hoc communication.

27. A method, comprising:
-
establishing a plurality of transmissions, each transmissions representing a specific area, and each transmission having an established probable range; and
receiving each of said transmissions, and deducing a current area from the collection of transmissions; and
determining context sensitive streaming information associated with the deduced area. - View Dependent Claims (28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A system, comprising:
-
a first gateway, having a connection to a higher-capacity network, and also having a lower capacity network which operates over the limited and control range, said first gateway producing communications over said lower capacity network, which communications are indicative of a location of said first gateway;
a second gateway, having communicator which communicates with said lower capacity network, when in range of said lower capacity network, and which operates to receive transmissions from said lower capacity network when in range, at least one of said lower capacity network transmissions including streaming content, which is sent from said first gateway to all communication elements which are within range, and wherein said streaming content is representative of a product in a store which is in an area of said first gateway. - View Dependent Claims (38)
