Abstract

A device based system for interacting around a collection of user definable moments portraying a theme readable by others via a filter. Users may participate actively, voyeuristically, passively, or vicariously, to share propaganda, graffiti, news, parody, satire, opinions, information, commentary, entertainment, contests, and amusement to a location or an object.

Claims

1. A device for recording and sharing moments with one or more readers, the device including a processor and comprising a moment recorder configured to record at least one moment file represented by at least one user selectable icon, the at least one moment file comprising at least:

1) a location;

2) an identifier corresponding to the moment recorder;

3) a time;

4) at least one recorder filter configured to restrict an availability of the at least one moment file to one or more authorized readers based on at least one filter preference selected from a group including the time, a medium associated with the moment, a subject associated with the moment, an interest associated with the moment, and a theme associated with the moment;

and

5) an augmented property filter configured to restrict one or more of;

(a) the ability of the moment recorder to record the at least one moment file;

and

(b) the availability of the at least one moment file to the one or more authorized readers;

based on a virtual property ownership system wherein the location is associated with at least one augmented property.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file further comprises:

at least one moment file content selected from a group including;

a picture, a sound, an audio recording, a video, a text, an image, a calendar entry, a reminder, a context, a mood, a diary entry, a history, a feeling or mood, an information, an opinion, an anecdote, an award, a coupon, a discount, an instruction, a menu, a conversation, a price, or a chit.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the moment recorder further comprises:

at least one marker capable of marking the location for a period of time to designate the location for moment file content to be prepared.

4. The device of claim 3, wherein:

the period of time is not more than 24 hours from a marking time corresponding to the marking of the location;

and

the marking of the location expires when the period of time expires.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file includes a coupon.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file includes at least one game element selected from a group including a game token, a puzzle, a game instruction, a game challenge, a game play element, and a pseudo-random game element generator.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file includes at least one element required to access the at least one moment file, the element selected from a group including a tool, a key, and a password.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein:

the augmented property filter is controlled by at least one augmented property holder.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the at least one augmented property holder is represented by the at least one user selectable icon.

10. The device of claim 8, wherein the at least one augmented property holder is an administrator of a geo-fenced area including the location.

11. The device of claim 8, wherein:

the at least one augmented property corresponds to at least one real property;

and

the at least one augmented property holder is an owner of the at least one real property.

12. The device of claim 8, wherein:

the at least one augmented property corresponds to a real property;

and

the at least one augmented property holder is a purchasing holder.

13. The device of claim 8, wherein the augmented property filter requires the moment recorder and the one or more authorized readers to access at least one holder moment file identifying the at least one augmented property holder.

14. The device of claim 13, wherein the moment file content of the at least one holder moment file may be modified based on at least one of:

a time spent within the at least one augmented property;

and

at least one previously accessed holder moment file.

15. The device of claim 1, wherein the moment recorder includes one or more menu access moment files providing user menu access to user settings.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein the moment recorder includes at least one menu access moment icon representative of the menu access moment file.

17. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file further comprises:

at least one moment file notification for notifying the one or more authorized readers proximate to a matched filter preference moment file.

18. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one user selectable icon is customizable.

19. The device of claim 18, wherein said customizable icon is selected from a group including:

an earned customizable icon,

and

at least one customizable icon selected from a group including;

an activity, an award, and a customizable icon obtained by a payment or a series of payments.

20. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file includes at least one dashboard moment file configured to selectively personalize the moment recorder.

21. The device of claim 20, wherein the dashboard moment file is selected from a group including a new feature, a change, a statistic, an offer, an instruction, and a message.

22. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file is selected from a group including:

an ephemeral moment file configured to expire within a set period of time;

a question moment file capable of asking at least one question to the one or more readers;

and a moment file capable of at least one of;

warning the one or more readers;

awarding the one or more readers; and

sharing information with the one or more readers.

23. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file is a moment file radar for at least one of categorizing moment files or locating moment files not within a defined locus to the moment reader.

24. The device of claim 1, wherein:

the virtual property ownership system is associated with an augmented map including the at least one augmented property selected from a group including a real boundary, a virtual boundary, and an augmented estate comprising at least one plot of augmented property.

25. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file includes at least one drifting moment file capable of moving from the first location to at least one additional location.

26. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one moment file includes at least one moment file notification for informing the one or more authorized readers of the moment file.
