MOBILE COMPUTING SERVICES BASED ON DEVICES WITH DYNAMIC DIRECTION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for a device provisioned for pointing based services, comprising:
- receiving direction information associated with at least one direction of the device;
dynamically defining an area of intersection within scope for the at least one direction including defining the area of intersection as a function of a current state or parameter of the service or the device; and
identifying at least one person of interest that substantially intersects or lies within the at least one area of intersection.

Abstract
Direction based pointing services are enabled for a portable electronic device including a positional component for receiving positional information as a function of a location of the portable electronic device, a directional component that outputs direction information as a function of an orientation of the portable electronic device and a location based engine that processes the positional information and the direction information to determine points of interest relative to the portable electronic device as a function of at least the positional information and the direction information. A set of scenarios with respect to movable endpoints of interest in the system emerge.

8. A method for a device provisioned for pointing based services, comprising:
-
receiving direction information associated with at least one direction of the device; determining at least one place associated with the at least one direction of the device that substantially intersect with the at least one direction according to an intersection determination; and identifying at least one person of interest in the at least one place based on information from a network service. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A device provisioned for pointing based services, comprising:
-
a person selection component for identifying at least one person of interest; a map component for retrieving map-based information from a pointing based service, the map-based information including location, direction and movement information for the at least one person of interest; and a rendering component that renders the at least one person of interest in relation to the device on a map on display on the device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
