METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING ACCESS CODES BASED ON INFORMATION EMBEDDED IN VARIOUS SIGNALS
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- an acquisition of one or more signals broadcasted within an environment;
a processing of the one or more signals to determine at least one access code seed associated with one or more location-based services available in the environment; and
a generation of at least one access code for accessing the one or more location-based services based, at least in part, on the at least one access code seed.

Abstract
An approach is provided for a mechanism to generate access codes based on information embedded in various signals available in an environment. The approach includes a method causing an acquisition of one or more signals broadcasted within an environment. The method also includes processing and/or facilitating a processing of the one or more signals to determine at least one access code seed associated with one or more location-based services available in the environment. The method further includes causing a generation of at least one access code for accessing the one or more location-based services based, at least in part, on the at least one access code seed.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, cause, at least in part, an acquisition of one or more signals broadcasted within an environment; process and/or facilitate a processing of the one or more signals to determine at least one access code seed associated with one or more location-based services available in the environment; and cause, at least in part, a generation of at least one access code for accessing the one or more location-based services based, at least in part, on the at least one access code seed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
