Patent Images
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a monitoring of an ad-hoc mesh network for activity information exchanged among one or more nodes within a predetermined proximity;
a processing of location information associated with the activity information, the one or more wireless nodes, or a combination thereof to determine at least one location anchor; and
an association of the activity information with the at least one location anchor.

Abstract
An approach is provided for enabling location based interaction between wireless nodes over an ad-hoc mesh network. A location anchoring services module monitors an ad-hoc mesh network for activity information exchanged among one or more nodes within a predetermined proximity. Messages exchanged between wireless nodes are then processed with respect to location information for determining a location anchor. The activity information are then associated with the location anchor.
