PORTAL SERVICES BASED ON INTERACTIONS WITH POINTS OF INTEREST DISCOVERED VIA DIRECTIONAL DEVICE INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing information about points of interest (POIs) in a direction-based services system, comprising:
- receiving a query for a set of POIs of the direction-based services system;
identifying a computing device relating to the query;
based on the query and a POI interaction profile managed for the computing device, the POI interaction profile formed from aggregate interaction data representing interactions with POIs of the direction-based services system by the computing device as a function of direction and location of the computing device, analyzing the aggregate interaction data for the computing device; and
outputting a set of POIs of threshold relevance to the computing device based on the analyzing.

Abstract
With the addition of directional information in the environment, a variety of service(s) can be provided on top of user identification or interaction with specific object(s) of interest by pointing at the objects. Items discovered through direction-based location services can be designated for present or later interaction, with information about those interactions uploaded to intelligent portal services exposed via one or more networks. Device users can interact with the portal services at a later time after an intelligent analysis has been applied to data representing the user'"'"'s interactions, enabling a variety of scenarios, such as recommendation engines, sharing engines, shopping scenarios, etc. via the portal services.

16. A system for analyzing information about points of interest (POIs) from direction-based services, comprising:
-
a receiving component that receives data about at least one interaction with at least one identified point of interest (POI) via direction-based services by at least one computing device; an analysis component that determines a computing device associated with the data, associates the data with the computing device and statistically analyzes the data to identify at least one trend associated with the at least one interaction with the at least one POI. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
requesting information about at least one of a set of points of interest (POIs) of a direction-based location services system, the set of POIs including characteristics determined by the direction-based location services system based on aggregated stored data relating to interactions with the set of POIs by a plurality of computing devices participating in the direction-based location services system; receiving, based upon an analysis of the characteristics of the set of POIs, at least one advertisement corresponding to the at least one of the set of POIs; and displaying the at least one advertisement. - View Dependent Claims (25)
