Abstract

An event management system is provided. The event management system comprises at least one wearable device that includes a wearable support structure, a display coupled to the support structure, a plurality of sensors coupled to the support structure, a controller removably coupled to the display, the plurality of sensors, and the support structure, the controller including one or more processors coupled to a memory and one or more antennas, and a user manager component executable by the one or more processors of the controller and configured to create anonymous biometric information descriptive of at least one user wearing the at least one wearable device based at least in part on information received from the plurality of sensors and transmit at least one portion of the anonymous biometric information.

Claims

1. An event management system comprising:

at least one wearable device including;

a wearable support structure;

a display coupled to the wearable support structure;

a plurality of sensors coupled to the wearable support structure;

a controller removably coupled to the display, the plurality of sensors, and the wearable support structure, the controller including one or more processors coupled to a memory and one or more antennas;

a user manager component executable by the one or more processors of the controller and configured to create anonymous biometric information descriptive of at least one user wearing the at least one wearable device based at least in part on information received from the plurality of sensors and transmit at least one portion of the anonymous biometric information.

2. The event management system according to claim 1, wherein the wearable support structure includes at least one of a wristband, a pair of glasses, a belt buckle, a headband, and a ring.

3. The event management system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of sensors includes at least one of an accelerometer, a microphone, a temperature sensor, a galvanic skin response sensor, and a heart rate sensor.

4. The event management system according to claim 1, wherein the user manager is configured to verify transactions between the at least one user and a third party.

5. The event management system according to claim 4, wherein the user manager is configured to verify the transactions between the at least one user and the third party at least in part by:

receiving a user verification request;

requesting the at least one user to perform an action;

determining whether the action was performed based at least in part on the information received from the plurality of sensors; and

transmitting a user verification outcome.

6. The event management system according to claim 5, wherein the user manager is configured to request an action that moves the at least one wearable device according a predetermined movement.

7. The event management system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one wearable device includes a plurality of wearable devices, the at least one user includes a plurality of users, and the user manager component is configured to transmit anonymous biometric information to an external system comprising:

a memory;

one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory and the plurality of wearable devices;

an event manager executable by the one or more processors and configured to;

aggregate anonymous biometric information received from each wearable device of the plurality of wearable devices into aggregated biometric information descriptive of the plurality of users; and

provide a selected portion of the aggregated biometric information to one or more information consumers.

8. The event management system according to claim 7, wherein the memory further stores associations between the one or more information consumers and one or more information consumer types, the information consumer types including at least an artist type, an event manager type, and a tour management type and the event manager is configured to provide the selected portion of the aggregated biometric information based upon the associations.

9. The event management system according to claim 7, wherein the event manager is further configured to facilitate a transaction between a user of the plurality of users and the third party.

10. The event management system according to claim 9, wherein the memory stores biometric information descriptive of each user of the plurality of users and the event manager is configured to facilitate the transaction at least in part by:

receiving a transaction request from the third party identifying the user;

transmitting, in response to receiving the transaction request, biometric information of the user to an information consumer;

receiving a confirmation of matching biometric information from the information consumer;

transmitting, in response to receiving the confirmation, a user verification request to a wearable device worn by the user; and

receiving a user verification from the wearable device.

11. An event management system according to claim 7, wherein the memory stores the aggregated biometric information, the aggregated biometric information including at least one of an aggregate heart rate, an aggregate temperature, and an aggregate energy level for the plurality of users.

12. An event management system according to claim 11, wherein the event management system further comprises an interface component executable by the one or more processors and configured to:

retrieve at least one portion of the aggregated biometric information from the memory; and

present a first representation based on the aggregated biometric information, the first representation including an indication of at least one of a current event attendance, an average crowd heart rate, an average crowd temperature, and an average crowd energy level.

13. The event management system according to claim 12, wherein the interface component is further configured to:

present a second representation including an indication of at least one of a current set attendance, an event map, and merchandise sold; and

present a third representation including an indication of at least one of an artist transportation schedule, an artist lodging schedule, and an artist performance schedule.

14. An event management system for providing information regarding a plurality of users to one or more information consumers, the event management system comprising:

a memory storing aggregated biometric information regarding a plurality of users, the aggregated biometric information including at least one of a heart rate, a temperature, and an energy level for the plurality of users;

one or more processors coupled to the memory; and

an interface component executable by the one or more processors and configured to;

retrieve at least one portion of the aggregated biometric information from the memory; and

present a first representation based on the aggregated biometric information, the first representation including an indication of at least one of a current event attendance, an average crowd heart rate, an average crowd temperature, and an average crowd energy level.

15. The event management system according to claim 14, wherein the interface component is further configured to:

present a second representation including an indication of at least one of a current set attendance, an event map, and an indication of merchandise sold; and

present a third representation including an indication of at least one of an artist transportation schedule, an artist lodging schedule, and an artist performance schedule.

16. The event management system according to claim 15, wherein the memory further stores associations between the one or more information consumers and one or more information consumer types, the information consumer types including at least an artist type, an event manager type, and a tour management type and the interface is configured to retrieve the at least one portion of the aggregated biometric information based upon the associations.

17. A method of managing an event, the method comprising:

receiving, by at least one wearable device, biometric information descriptive of at least one user; and

transmitting, by the at least one wearable device, anonymous biometric information using the biometric information.

18. The method according to claim 17, further comprising:
