Social media with optical narrowcasting
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- an optical receiver to receive optically narrowcast content extracted from an optical beam transmitted by an optical transmitter;
a first user device to capture a media representation of a real-world environment in which the optical beam is detected;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the system to;
present a user interface for selecting one or more filters to be applied to received optically narrowcast content such that only received optically narrowcast content satisfying the one or more filters is presented on a social media platform;
receive user input at the user interface selecting one or more of the filters;
apply the selected filters to the optically narrowcast content received by the optical receiver;
create an enhanced media dataset comprising the received and filtered optically narrowcast content and the media representation; and
post the enhanced media dataset on the social media platform.

Abstract
Systems and methods for using optical narrowcasting with social media applications are described herein. One system may include an optical receiver to receive optically narrowcast content extracted from an optical beam transmitted by an optical transmitter; and a first user device to capture a media representation of a real-world environment in which the optical beam is detected. The system may be configured to create an enhanced media dataset including the optically narrowcast content and the media representation; and post the enhanced media dataset on a social media platform. The system may set one or more filters to be applied to optically narrowcast content posted on the social media platform; and apply the one or more filters to the optically narrowcast content of the enhanced media dataset that is posted on the social media platform.

16. A system comprising:
-
an optical receiver to receive optically narrowcast content extracted from an optical beam transmitted by an optical transmitter; a video camera to capture a video of a real-world environment in which the optical beam is detected; a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the system to; create an enhanced media dataset comprising the optically narrowcast content and the video; post the enhanced media dataset on an image sharing or video sharing social media platform, wherein posting the enhanced media dataset on the social media platform comprises broadcasting the enhanced media dataset to a plurality of users on a livestream of the social media platform, wherein livestreaming the enhanced media dataset to the plurality of users on the social media platform comprises overlaying an augmented reality representation of the optically narrowcast content on a livestream of the video; receive user input selecting a control for filtering the livestreaming of optically narrowcasting content; and in response to the user input, modifying the optically narrowcast content that is displayed on the livestream.

21. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the system to; access a social media platform comprising a plurality of posted signal enhanced media posted by a plurality of users of the social media platform; select, using a user interface provided to a first user, one or more filters to be applied to a signal enhanced media posted by a second user on the social media platform, the signal enhanced media comprising;
optically narrowcast content extracted from an optical beam; and
a media representation of a real-world environment in which the optical beam is detected, wherein the one or more filters are to filter the optically narrowcast content of the posted signal enhanced media such that only optically narrowcast content of the posted signal enhanced media satisfying the one or more filters is presented with the media representation to the first user while viewing the posted signal enhanced media; andafter selecting the one or more filters, displaying the signal enhanced media posted by the second user. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
