Distributed association engine
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for a distributed association engine, comprising:
- searching, by a processor, for objects of interest within a spatially bounded area;
identifying, by the processor, a set objects of interest responsive to the search comprising loose connections between a system running the distributed association engine but not available to an entire computing platform running the distributed association engine;
mapping, by the processor, a set of associations between the set of objects of interest in a personal network, wherein each of the set of objects of interest comprises a node within the personal network, and wherein the set of associations comprises at least one of an edge and an arc;
receiving a selected subset of the set of objects of interest responsive to the search from a user;
monitoring, by the processor, the selected subset of the set of objects of interest for a user behavior; and
triggering, by the processor, an action to occur when the user behavior is detected.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for a distributed association engine, comprising searching, by a processor, for one or more objects of interest within a spatial bounded area, identifying, by the processor, the one or more objects of interest responsive to the search, and mapping, by the processor, one or more relationships between a user and the one or more objects of interest in a personal network.

6. A system comprising:
-
a display screen; a processor; and a non-transient memory medium operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium is configured to store a plurality of instructions configured to program the processor to; search for objects of interest within a spatially bounded area; identify a set of objects of interest responsive to the search comprising loose connections between a system running the distributed association engine but not available to an entire computing platform running the distributed association engine; map a set of relationships between a user and the set of objects of interest in a personal network, wherein each of the set of objects of interest comprises a node within the personal network, and wherein the set of associations comprises at least one of an edge and an arc; receive a selected subset of the set of objects of interest responsive to the search from the user; monitor the selected subset of the set of objects of interest for a user behavior; and
trigger an action to occur when the user behavior is detected. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable memory medium configured to store instructions thereon that when loaded by a processor cause the processor to:
-
search for objects of interest within a spatially bounded area; identify a set of objects of interest responsive to the search comprising loose connections between a system running the distributed association engine but not available to an entire computing platform running the distributed association engine; map a set of relationships between a user and the set of objects of interest in a personal network, wherein each of the set of objects of interest comprises a node within the personal network, and wherein the set of associations comprises at least one of an edge and an arc; receive a selected subset of the set of objects of interest responsive to the search from the user; monitor the selected subset of the set of objects of interest for a user behavior; and
trigger an action to occur when the user behavior is detected. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
