Identifying a resource geographically associated with one or more transceivers
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for discovering resources, comprising:
- identifying, by at least one processor, one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices;
identifying, by the at least one processor, a context associated with the mobile device or a user of the mobile device;
identifying, by the at least one processor without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers, a resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers and contextually associated, based on the identified context, with the mobile device or the user of the mobile device, wherein identifying the resource comprises accessing a data structure including entries each correlating a corresponding transceiver to data of one or more resources; and
causing a display by the mobile device of data corresponding to the identified resource.

Abstract
A method for discovering resources includes identifying one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices. A resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers is identified. Identification occurs without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers. The mobile device is caused to display data corresponding to the identified resource.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
-
identify one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices; identify a context associated with the mobile device or a user of the mobile device; identify, without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers, a resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers and contextually associated, based on the identified context, with the mobile device or the user of the mobile device, wherein identifying the resource comprises accessing a data structure including entries each correlating a corresponding transceiver to data of one or more resources; and cause a display by the mobile device of data corresponding to the identified resource. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for discovering resources, comprising:
-
a transceiver engine configured to receive data identifying one or more geographically fixed transceivers with which a mobile device is in communication and through which the mobile device can communicate with other devices; a resource engine configured to; identify requirements of a user'"'"'s desired interaction with a resource of an identified type, and identify, without regard to a signal strength or strengths experienced between the mobile device and the one or more transceivers, a resource geographically associated with the identified one or more transceivers, wherein identifying the resource comprises accessing a data structure including entries each correlating a corresponding transceiver to data of one or more resources; and a display engine configured to cause a display by the mobile device of data corresponding to the identified resource, only upon a determination that the identified resource is of the identified type and compatible with the requirements of the user'"'"'s desired interaction. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
