Abstract

The subject specification provides a system, method, and computer readable storage medium directed towards allocating digital canvasses for digital graffiti. The specification discloses receiving data corresponding to digital graffiti formed from a gesture undergone by a device. The specification also discloses identifying a digital canvas corresponding to the digital graffiti as a function of the received data.

Claims

1. A computer implemented system, comprising:

a processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions;

a receiving component configured to receive data corresponding to digital graffiti formed from at least one gesture undergone by a device; and

a search component configured to identify at least one digital canvas corresponding to the digital graffiti as a function of the data.

2. The system of claim 1, the data including at least one of motion information, direction information, or location information, the motion information including information regarding at least one movement of the device, the direction information including information regarding an orientation of the device, and the location information including information regarding a location of the device.

3. The system of claim 2, the processor configured to derive the digital graffiti from at least one of the motion information, the direction information, or the location information.

4. The system of claim 3 further comprising an ink component that outputs a two-dimensional mapping of the at least one gesture, the processor further configured to process the two-dimensional mapping, the digital graffiti derived from at least a portion of the two-dimensional mapping.

5. The system of claim 4 further comprising a beautification component that outputs a beautification of at least a portion of the two-dimensional mapping, the processor further configured to process the beautification, the digital graffiti derived to include at least a portion of the beautification.

6. The system of claim 3 further comprising an object component that identifies a digital image corresponding to the at least one gesture, the processor further configured to process the digital image, the digital graffiti derived to include at least a portion of the digital image.

7. The system of claim 6 further comprising a library component that stores at least the digital image, the processor further configured to retrieve the digital image from the library component.

8. The system of claim 1, the data including point of interest information, the point of interest information including information regarding at least one point of interest, the search component configured to identify the at least one digital canvas as a function of the point of interest information.

9. The system of claim 8, the point of interest information including sensory information pertaining to a signal received by the device from at least one point of interest proximate to the device, the search component configured to identify the at least one digital canvas as a function of the sensory information.

10. The system of claim 1 further comprising a canvas database that stores the at least one digital canvas, the processor further configured to retrieve the at least one digital canvas from the canvas database.

11. The system of claim 1, the search component further configured to identify at least one advertisement corresponding to the digital graffiti, the processor configured to facilitate superimposing the at least one advertisement onto the at least one digital canvas.

12. The system of claim 11 further comprising an advertisement database that stores the at least one advertisement, the processor further configured to retrieve the at least one advertisement from the advertisement database.

13. A method, comprising:

employing a processor to execute computer executable instructions stored on a computer readable storage medium to implement the following acts;

receiving data corresponding to digital graffiti formed from at least one gesture undergone by a device; and

identifying at least one digital canvas corresponding to the digital graffiti, the at least one digital canvas identified as a function of the data.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising deriving the digital graffiti, the digital graffiti derived as a function of the data.

15. The method of claim 13 further comprising retrieving the at least one digital canvas from an entity accessible via a network.

16. The method of claim 13 further comprising transmitting a request to an entity accessible via a network, the request requesting that the entity transmit the at least one digital canvas to the device.

17. The method of claim 13 further comprising identifying at least one advertisement corresponding to the digital graffiti.

18. The method of claim 17 further comprising superimposing the at least one advertisement onto the at least one digital canvas.

19. The method of claim 17 further comprising retrieving the at least one advertisement from an entity accessible via a network.

20. A computer readable storage medium, comprising:

a memory component configured to store computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions including instructions for performing the following acts;

receiving data from a device, the data corresponding to at least one gesture undergone by the device;

deriving digital graffiti from the data;

identifying at least one digital canvas corresponding to the digital graffiti;

identifying at least one advertisement corresponding to the digital graffiti; and

superimposing each of the digital graffiti and the at least one advertisement onto the at least one digital canvas.
