Location based services virtual bookmarking
First Claim
1. A method for providing location based services to create bookmarks to physical points of interest, comprising:
- detecting a consumer presence at a physical location using a presence detector associated with said physical location;
determining said physical location and an identity of a consumer from a consumer identifier;
prior to receiving a selection from said consumer, determining a set of points of interest in a physical vicinity of said consumer;
pushing to a consumer pervasive device said set of correlated points of interest in the physical vicinity of said consumer;
receiving at least one selection by said consumer from said pushed set of points of interest; and
storing on a server said at least one received selection to create a point of interest bookmark associated with said consumer and having an indicator of said physical location, a description of said point of interest and zero, one or more information attachments containing information about said point of interest; and
creating a bookmark for points of interest selected from said set, said bookmark providing a user-selectable link to said stored set on said bookmark server for later access by said consumer using a networked computing device.

Abstract
A location based service creates a bookmark to a physical point of interest by detecting a consumer presence at a physical location using a presence detector; determining a physical location and identity of the consumer from an identifier; prior to receiving a selection from the consumer, determining a set of points of interest in the physical vicinity; pushing to a consumer pervasive device the set of points of interest in the vicinity of the consumer; and receiving a selection by the consumer from the pushed set of points of interest; storing on a server the received selection to create a point of interest bookmark associated with the consumer.

9. A computer readable memory comprising:
-
a computer readable memory suitable for encoding computer programs; and one or more computer programs encoded by said computer readable memory, said programs when executed performing; detecting a consumer presence at a physical location using a presence detector associated with said physical location; determining said physical location and an identity of a consumer from a consumer identifier; prior to receiving a selection from said consumer, determining a set of points of interest in a physical vicinity of said consumer; pushing to a consumer pervasive device said set of points of interest in the physical vicinity of said consumer; receiving at least one selection by said consumer from said pushed set of points of interest; and storing on a server said at least one received selection to create a point of interest bookmark associated with said consumer and having an indicator of said physical location, a description of said point of interest and zero, one or more information attachments containing information about said point of interest; and creating a bookmark for points of interest selected from said set, said bookmark providing a user-selectable link to said stored information items on said bookmark server for later access by said consumer using a networked computing device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for providing location based service to create bookmarks to physical points of interest, comprising:
-
a presence detector detecting a consumer present at a physical location; a consumer identification and location subsystem when executed performing; (a) determining a consumer'"'"'s identification and said physical location using a consumer identifier; (b) prior to receiving a selection from said consumer, determining a set of points of interest in a physical vicinity of said consumer; and (c) pushing said set of points of interest in the consumer'"'"'s physical vicinity to a consumer pervasive device; and a server storing in computer memory a consumer'"'"'s selection from said pushed set of points of interest to create a bookmark associated with said consumer and having an indicator of said physical location, a description of said point of interest and zero, one or more information attachments containing information about said point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
