Abstract

The disclosed subject matter provides automatic response to localized input. Where a first user equipment enters a service area, the presence of the first user equipment can be determined from an identification information. The identification information can be employed to access information relating to the identification information. Where either the identification information or the information associated with the identification information satisfy one or more predetermined rules, a response can be determined. The determined response can be made accessible. As such, a second user equipment can receive the response based, at least in part, on the first user equipment entering the service area.

Claims

1. An access point response component, comprising:

a receiving component configured to receive identification information associated with a first user equipment;

a lookup component configured to receive information associated with the identification information;

a result component configured to determine a response based on the identification information and information associated with the identification information satisfying a condition of a predetermined rule; and

an output component configured to facilitate access to the response.

2. The access point response component of claim 1, further comprising a rule component configured to facilitate access to the predetermined rule.

3. The access point response component of claim 2, wherein the rule component is further configured to generate the predetermined rule.

4. The access point response component of claim 2, wherein the predetermined rule is based on the identification information.

5. The access point response component of claim 2, wherein the predetermined rule is based on the information associated with the identification information.

6. The access point response component of claim 1, further comprising a data store component configured to facilitate access to the information associated with the identification information.

7. The access point response component of claim 6, wherein the data store component is remote from the access point response component.

8. The access point response component of claim 1, further comprising an input component configured to modify a rule accessible by way of the rule component.

9. The access point response component of claim 8, wherein the input component is configured to generate the rule.

10. The access point response component of claim 1, wherein the receiving component is configured to receive identification information associated with a first user equipment within a predefined proximity of a predetermined service area.

11. The access point response component of claim 10, wherein the predetermined service area approximates an ellipsoid of the equation,

12. The access point response component of claim 10, wherein the predetermined service area approximates an ellipsoid of the equation,

13. The access point response component of claim 10, wherein the predetermined service area approximates an ellipsoid of the equation,

14. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, identification information from a first user equipment within a predetermined service area;

determining a response based on the identification information meeting a condition of a predetermined rule; and

facilitating access to the response.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

receiving information associated with the identification information from a first data store;

receiving the predetermined rule from a second data store; and

wherein the determining the response is based on the identification information and the information associated with the identification information meeting a condition of the predetermined rule.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the predetermined service area approximates a spherical ellipsoid.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the predetermined service area approximates an oblate ellipsoid.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the predetermined service area approximates a scalene ellipsoid.

19. A mobile computing device, comprising:

a receiving component configured to receive a response from an access point response component, the response based on identification information and information associated with identification information satisfying a predetermined rule, and wherein the identification information is received at the access point response component from a first user equipment within a predefined proximity of a predetermined service area associated with the access point response component.

20. The mobile computing device of claim 19, further comprising a rule modification component configured to generate a rule modification that can be received by an input component of the access point response component.
