Abstract
Methods and systems for anonymous digital identification are disclosed and may include detecting the presence of a first communication device associated with a first set of content that is distinguishable from an identifier associated with the first communication device, detecting the presence of a second communication device associated with a second set of content that is distinguishable from an identifier associated with the second communication device, and in response to a determination that the devices are geographically proximate to one another, providing matched content to at least one of the first and second devices. The matched content may be based at least in part on the first set of content, the second set of content, and a shared or complementary interest associated with the first and second devices. The interest may have been previously expressed by a user of the first or second devices.

21. A method for providing matched content, the method including:
-
detecting the presence of a first wireless communication device associated with a first set of content that is distinguishable from an identifier associated with said first wireless communication device; detecting the presence of a second wireless communication device associated with a second set of content that is distinguishable from an identifier associated with said second wireless communication device; and in response to a determination that said first and second wireless communication devices are geographically proximate to one another based on location detection capabilities of said first and second wireless communication devices, providing matched content to at least one of said first and second wireless communication devices, wherein said matched content is based at least in part on said first set of content, said second set of content, and a shared or complementary interest associated with said first and second wireless communication devices, and wherein said interest was previously expressed by a user of said first or second wireless communication device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method for facilitating commercial transactions, the method comprising:
in an information management module that is operable to communicate with a non-commercial wireless communication device and/or a commercial wireless communication device; identifying consumer information associated with said non-commercial wireless communication device, wherein said consumer information is not limited to an identifier associated with said non-commercial wireless communication device; identifying provider information associated with said commercial wireless communication device, wherein said provider information is not limited to an identifier associated with said commercial wireless communication device; determining whether geographic proximity exists between said non-commercial wireless communication device and said commercial wireless communication device based on location detection capabilities of said first and second wireless communication devices; identifying whether shared or complementary information exists between said consumer information and said provider information in response to a determination that geographic proximity exists between said non-commercial wireless communication device and said commercial wireless communication device; and providing said consumer information to said commercial wireless communication device and/or providing said provider information to said non-commercial wireless communication device if said consumer information. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A system for providing matched content, the system comprising:
-
a processor that is operable to determine a geographic location associated with an electronic device and whether two or more electronic devices are geographically proximate to one another; and an information management module that is operable to; communicate with a first wireless communication device and/or a second wireless communication device, wherein said first wireless communication device is associated with a first set of content that is distinguishable from an identifier associated with said first wireless communication device and said second wireless communication device is associated with a second set of content that is distinguishable from an identifier associated with said second wireless communication device; provide matched content to at least one of said first and second wireless communication devices in response to a determination by said processor that said first and second wireless communication devices are geographically proximate to one another based on location detection capabilities of said first and second wireless communication devices, wherein said matched content is based at least in part on at least one of said first set of content and said second set of content. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43)
