Abstract

In one example embodiment, an apparatus includes a reader configured to read motion information, received from an end device, regarding a motion that was enacted by a user relative to the end device; a request generator configured to generate a service request that includes an identifier of the apparatus and the read motion information; a transmitter configured to transmit, to a service provider, the service request; and a receiver configured to receive, from the service provider, an expression of a service that is associated with the identifier of the apparatus and the read motion information.

Claims

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a memory configured to store a plurality of reference motion information associated with a plurality of services and service information regarding the plurality of services;

a stationary display, implemented as part of the display apparatus that is physically separated from a mobile end device, configured to display at least a portion of the reference motion information that depicts a motion to be enacted upon the mobile end device;

a reader, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to read motion information, received from the mobile end device, regarding a motion that was enacted upon the mobile end device;

a request generator, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to generate a service request that includes an identifier of the apparatus and the read motion information;

a transmitter, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to transmit, to a service provider, the service request; and

a receiver, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to receive, from the service provider, an expression of a service that is associated with the identifier of the apparatus and the read motion information,

wherein the stationary display is configured to further display the received expression of the service.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reader is configured to read the motion information that is received from the mobile end device via a wireless network between the apparatus and the mobile end device, and

wherein further, the wireless network enables at least one of a near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth, or peer to peer (P2P) communication protocol.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is configured to further transmit, to the service provider, additional information including at least one of a time at which the transmitter transmits the service request or a location of the apparatus, and

wherein the received expression of the service is associated further with the additional information.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reader is further configured to read certification information of the mobile end device, received from the mobile end device, that is associated with the motion information of the mobile end device,

wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the read certification information to the service provider, and

wherein the receiver is configured to receive, from the service provider, the expression of the service that is associated further with the certification information.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4, wherein the certification information includes at least one of a cellular telephone number (CTN) assigned to the mobile end device, a unique identifier of the user of the mobile end device, a password, a media access control (MAC) address of the mobile end device.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the receiver is further configured to receive, from the service provider, the reference motion information that depicts the motion that is to be enacted upon the mobile end device.

7. A system, comprising:

a mobile end device configured to;

read an identifier of an object from the object,

sense a motion of the mobile end device, and

transmit a service request that includes the identifier of the object and motion information regarding the sensed motion;

a service provider configured to;

receive, from the mobile end device, the service request, and

provide the object with an expression of a service that is associated with the identifier of the object and the motion information of the mobile end device; and

the object configured to;

store reference motion information associated with services and service information regarding the services,

display, on a stationary display attached to the object that is physically separated from the mobile end device, at least a portion of the stored reference motion information that depicts a motion to be enacted upon the mobile end device and the expression of a service,

wherein the object is located within a predetermined range of the mobile end device.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the mobile end device is further configured to:

translate parameters of the sensed motion into certification information of the mobile end device, and

transmit the certification information to the service provider, and

wherein the service provider is further configured to provide the object with the expression of the service that is associated further with the certification information.

9. A system, comprising:

an apparatus configured to;

store a plurality of reference motion information associated with a plurality of services and service information regarding the plurality of services,

display, on a stationary display attached to the apparatus that is physically separated from a mobile end device, at least a portion of the reference motion information that depicts a motion to be enacted upon the mobile end device and an expression of a service,

read motion information, received from the mobile end device, regarding a motion that was enacted upon the mobile end device, and

transmit a service request that includes the motion information and an identifier of the apparatus; and

a service provider configured to;

receive, from the apparatus, the service request, and

provide the apparatus with the expression of the service that is associated with the identifier of the apparatus and the motion information of the mobile end device.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the apparatus is further configured to read certification information of the mobile end device, received from the mobile end device, that is associated with the motion information of the mobile end device,

wherein the apparatus is further configured to transmit the read certification information to the service provider, and

wherein the service provider is further configured to provide the apparatus with the expression of the service that is associated further with the certification information.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the apparatus is configured to read the motion information via a wireless network between the apparatus and the mobile end device, and

wherein further, the wireless network enables at least one of a near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth, or peer to peer (P2P) communication protocol.
