Abstract
Methods and systems provide for interactions by one or more mobile computing devices, for example, smartphones (cellular and network linked), smart bands, smart watches, augmented and virtual reality headsets, which alone or in combination form mobile computing device systems, through localization, mapping of points of interest (PoIs), pointing, selection, engagement and control of controllable electronic devices.

45. A method for providing mobile computing device system interactions comprising:
-
populating an electronic map with at least one point of interest; receiving
1) location data, and
2) pointing data corresponding to the at least one point of interest, from the mobile computing device system;for the location corresponding to the received location data, correlating the location associated with the received pointing data with the location and orientation of the at least one point of interest; and
,causing an action to be taken associated with the at least one point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

56. A method for operating a mobile computing device system comprising:
-
associating location data of the mobile computing device system with an electronic map, the electronic map including at least one point of interest; and
,signaling the mobile computing device system when the pointing direction of the mobile computing system correlates with the at least one point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59)

60. A computerized system for facilitating mobile computing device system interactions comprising:
-
a mapping system for creating electronic maps of at least one point of interest; a pointing system for determining whether a mobile computing device of the mobile computing device system is directed to the at least one point of interest; a localization system for determining the location associated with the mobile computing device; and an engagement system for engaging the mobile computing device system with the at least one point of interest, the engaging causing the mobile computing device system to perform an action associated with the at least one point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66)

67. A computer-usable non-transitory storage medium having a computer program embodied thereon for causing a suitable programmed system to facilitate mobile computing device system interactions, by performing the following steps when such program is executed on the system, the steps comprising:
-
receiving an electronic map of a predetermined location populated with at least one point of interest within the predetermined location; receiving;
1) location data of the predetermined location; and
,
2) pointing data corresponding to the at least one point of interest within the predetermined location, from the mobile computing device system;for the predetermined location corresponding to the received location data, correlating the location associated with the received pointing data with the location of the at least one point of interest; and
,causing an action to be taken associated with the at least one point of interest.

68. A method for controlling electronic devices, comprising:
-
locating a controlling device in an electronically mapped space; responding to the locating of the controlling device by placing the controlling device in the electronically mapped space in electronic communication with the electronic device to be controlled; and
,performing an action associated with the controlling device to control the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (69)
