MOBILE COMPUTING SERVICES BASED ON DEVICES WITH DYNAMIC DIRECTION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving direction information associated with at least one direction of a device;
identifying points of interest that substantially intersect with the at least one direction according to an intersection determination; and
displaying static and dynamic information associated with at least one point of interest of the points of interest.

Abstract
Direction based pointing services are enabled for a portable electronic device including a positional component for receiving positional information as a function of a location of the portable electronic device, a directional component that outputs direction information as a function of an orientation of the portable electronic device and a location based engine that processes the positional information and the direction information to determine points of interest relative to the portable electronic device as a function of at least the positional information and the direction information. A set of scenarios with respect to non-movable endpoints of interest in the system emerge and these scenarios and other embodiments are described in more detail below.

5. A method for receiving dynamically determined content from a pointer based service by a pointer device, comprising:
-
receiving direction information associated with at least one direction of the device; identifying at least one point of interest that is substantially within a scope defined by the at least one direction of the device; and receiving dynamically generated content from the at least one point of interest by the device based on a characteristic of a relationship between the device and the at least one point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

11. A method for reporting over aggregate data from pointer based services using business intelligence processes, comprising:
-
receiving user path information and past interaction with points of interest information from pointer based services enabled devices to form aggregate user data; performing at least one business intelligence process over the aggregate user data to determine at least one statistically significant correlation; and automatically generating a report based on the at least one statistically significant correlation. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A device provisioned for pointing based services, comprising:
-
a direction component that determines direction information associated with at least one pointed to direction of the device and identifies points of interest that are substantially within boundaries set by the at least one direction according to a boundary test; and a filter component that filters the points of interest to identify at least one point of interest of the points of interest as a function of a state or parameter of the device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
