TECHNIQUES TO ASSOCIATE USER DATA WITH A

MOBILE DEVICE

Background of the invention

Users can use their mobile devices for a variety of tasks, both online and offline. Users can transport their mobile devices with them when they travel the world and when visiting places. Mobile devices may have hardware capable of determining their location through a receiver of the global positioning system (GPS), wifi triangulation, cell triangulation or other means. Mobile devices can be configured for use with various services. The services can be customized to a particular user. It is with respect to these and other considerations that current improvements have been necessary.

Brief Description of the Invention

Below is a brief simplified description to provide a basic understanding of some novel modalities described in this document. This brief description is not an extensive introduction, and is not intended to identify the critical / critical elements or delineate the scope of it. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description presented below.

Several modalities are generally aimed at techniques for associating user data with a mobile device. Some modalities are particularly directed to techniques for associating user data with a mobile device for the adaptation of online and in-person services to the physical presence of a user as determined by the presence of their mobile device. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a service compatibility component and a storage component. The service compatibility component may be operational to receive a data packet request from a service, the data packet request comprises a network identifier for a mobile device associated with a user, and exchanges a data packet with the service in response to the data packet request. The storage component may be operative to access the data packet associated with the user based on the network identifier. Other modalities are described and claimed.

To achieve the above and related objectives, some illustrative aspects are described herein in relation to the following description and the accompanying drawings. These aspects are indicative of the various ways in which the principles disclosed in this document can be practiced and all aspects and equivalents thereof are intended to be within the scope of the claimed subject matter. Other and new advantages and features will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.

Detailed description of the invention

Several modalities are directed to a user data repository associated with a mobile device for a user. A user can carry a mobile device, such as a smartphone, a portable digital assistant, a portable music player or other portable computing device. This mobile device may include software and hardware to access computer networks, which include wireless computer networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks or other networks that use radio transmissions. These wireless network technologies can be used by the mobile device to identify your location and other wireless devices in your area. Similarly, these wireless network technologies can be used by other wireless devices in the area to identify the mobile device.

Computer-based services and other services that take advantage of computer technology and networking can use the information stored about a user to improve their services. User preferences that are used to customize the service can be stored. For example, user information may include media preferences for a user, with music provided by an online service (for example, website) or in person (for example, hotel, bar) customized for the user according to Stored media preferences. Information about a user device can be used to configure the user device, such as a mobile device, for interaction with the service. For example, the network settings of a device can be configured for use with a wireless service provided, such as Wi-Fi provided by a hotel. The fact that a user has visited a physical geographic location can be used to configure an online component of a service. For example, a website, email or other online contact with a user may include specific location promotions relevant to a geographic location visited by the user.

A user's mobile device can serve as any and all tools to detect the presence of a user in a geographic location, a tool for a user to communicate their presence in a geographical location, an end point to communicate information to a user relevant to the location, and a repository for storing user information. Because a mobile device is often maintained in the physical presence of a user, detecting the presence of a particular mobile device associated with the user can use a proxy device to determine that the user is present. Similarly, the mobile device that detects that it is in a particular location can serve as a proxy device for the mobile device, determines that the user is present at the location. Since users can frequently use their mobile device for network connection tasks, they can keep their mobile device in the presence and because the presence of a mobile device may have been the indicator that a user is present, the mobile device It can be valuable to communicate with a user. Because user information can be generated, customized and / or driven for storage based on the presence and / or identification of a mobile device, the mobile device can be a convenient location for storing user information. As a result, taking advantage of a mobile device to determine the generation of user information, personalizing user information and personalizing a service, can improve the services provided to a user.

Next, reference is made to the drawings, where similar reference numbers are used from beginning to end to refer to similar elements. In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a complete understanding of them. However, it may be evident that the new modalities can be put into practice without these specific details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to facilitate a description thereof. The intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives according to the subject matter claimed.

Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram for a mobile cookie system 100. In one embodiment, the mobile cookie system 100 may comprise a computer-implemented system. Although the mobile cookie system 100 shown in Figure 1 has a limited number of elements in a certain topology, it can be appreciated that the mobile cookie system 100 may include more or less elements in alternative topologies as desired for a given implementation.

It is noteworthy that it is intended that aybyce similar indicators, as used herein, be variables that represent any positive integer. Thus, for example, if an implementation sets a value for a = 5, then a complete set of components 122 may include components 122-1, 1222, 122-3, 122-4 and 122-5. The modalities are not limited in this context.

The mobile cookie system 100 may comprise a mobile cookie compatibility server 110 that operates in coordination with a mobile device 120 to provide a user 125 with access to services based on location in a manner that limits the power used to provide Location updates to location-based services necessary to meet the needs for punctuality and accuracy of location-based services. In some embodiments, a particular cookie compatibility server 110 may coordinate the activities of a plurality of mobile devices used by a plurality of users. In some embodiments, a plurality of client location monitoring servers may exist within the mobile cookie system 100, where each coordinates a plurality of mobile devices.

A mobile device 120 may have access to a plurality of systems by which it can determine its location. For example, a mobile device 120 may be able to detect the signals from a global positioning system 150 using a GPS receiver. The GPS receiver, based on the signals of the global positioning system 150, may be able to detect the geographical location of a mobile device 120 with a high degree of accuracy, a few meters, particularly when the GPS receiver has a visual field unobstructed for the global positioning system 150, such as when you are outdoors. However, the GPS receiver may not be able to determine the location of the mobile device 120 in some circumstances, particularly when the mobile device 120 is in some indoor environments. In addition, the use of the GPS receiver may result in a higher energy expenditure due to the lower perceived signal strength of the GPS signals at the time they arrive at the mobile device 120, which may be undesirable to frequently monitor the location of a device, as desired to be tracked when a device enters geographic locations associated with various services.

The mobile device 120 may be able to detect the signals from one or more cell sites 130. A mobile device 120 that is capable of detecting the signals from a particular cell location provides information about the location of the mobile device 120. Cellular signals from a cell site have a limited range, which may be the consequence of the diffusion power of the cell site, local geography (both natural and artificial) and other factors. The ability of a particular mobile device 120 to detect a cell site may be influenced by the reception capacity of the mobile device 120. Similarities between the reception capabilities of several mobile devices may allow a geographic area to be associated with each cell location, with the geographic areas associated with several cell locations communicated to the mobile device 120 from a central repository. These geographic areas can be determined according to calculations based on the diffusion power of a cell site, local geography and other factors. These geographical areas can be determined according to the sampling of the areas in which the transmissions of a cell site can be detected. A combination of these techniques can be used. When a mobile device 120 can detect multiple cell sites, it may be able to refine its location to be within the area in which the geographic areas associated with the detectable cell sites overlap.

The detection of one or more cell sites 130 may use a cellular radio device (eg, cellular receiver, cellular transceiver) in the mobile device 120. The location determined using one or more cell sites 130 may be less accurate than if the global positioning system 150 was used, in particular where very little or only one cell location is detected. However, cell site triangulation may work in some environments in which Wi-Fi is not available and / or where GPS signals cannot penetrate. In addition, using the cellular radio device may use less power than using the GPS receiver in the mobile device 120 and can be performed simultaneously with the cellular radio device that is used for access to the network through a cellular network, thus reducing the additional power dedicated to determining the location of the mobile device 120. Therefore, cell triangulation may be appropriate to frequently monitor the location of a device, as may be desired for monitoring when a device enters geographic locations associated with various services.

The mobile device 120 may be able to detect the signals from one or more Wi-Fi access points 140. A mobile device 120 that is capable of detecting the signals from a particular Wi-Fi access point provides information about the location of the mobile device 120. Wi-Fi signals from a Wi-Fi access point have a limited range, which may be the consequence of the diffusion power of the Wi-Fi access point, local geography (both natural and artificial) and other factors. The ability of a particular mobile device 120 to detect a Wi-Fi access point may be influenced by the reception capacity of the mobile device 120. Similarities between the reception capabilities of several mobile devices may allow a geographic area to be associated with each Wi-Fi, with the geographic areas associated with several Wi-Fi access points communicated to the mobile device 120 from a central repository. These geographical areas can be determined according to the calculations based on the diffusion power of a Wi-Fi access point, local geography and other factors. These geographical areas can be determined according to the sampling of the areas in which the transmissions of a Wi-Fi access point can be detected. A combination of these techniques can be used. When a mobile device 120 can detect multiple Wi-Fi access points, it can refine its location so that it is within the area in which the geographic areas associated with the detectable Wi-Fi access points overlap.

The detection of one or more Wi-Fi access points 140 can use a Wi-Fi radio device (for example, a Wi-Fi receiver, a Wi-Fi transceiver) on the mobile device 120. The use of the Wi-Fi radio device can use less energy than the use of the GPS receiver in the mobile device 120 and can be carried out simultaneously with the Wi-Fi radio device used to access the network through a Wi-Fi network, thus reducing the additional power dedicated to the persistent tracking of the location of the mobile device 120. However, the location determined using one or more Wi-Fi access points 140 may be less accurate than if the global positioning system 150 was used, in particular when some or a single Wi-Fi access point is detected. As such, the use of Wi-Fi triangulation instead of GPS positioning may represent a transaction in which lower accuracy is accepted in exchange for lower energy consumption. The use of Wi-Fi triangulation may use less energy and result in greater accuracy than the use of cellular triangulation, but it may not be possible in areas without Wi-Fi hotspot or where Wi-Fi hotspots with associated geographic areas have not been registered. with a repository known by mobile device 120.

The mobile device 120 may be able to detect the signals from one or more Bluetooth transceivers 160. In various embodiments, other short-range network technologies may also be used or alternatively. A mobile device 120 that is capable of detecting signals from a particular Bluetooth transceiver provides information about the location of the mobile device 120. Bluetooth signals from a Bluetooth transceiver have a limited range, which may be the consequence of the diffusion power of the Bluetooth transceiver, local geography (both natural and artificial) and other factors. The ability of a particular mobile device 120 to detect a Bluetooth transceiver may be influenced by the reception capability of the mobile device 120. Similarities between the reception capabilities of various mobile devices may allow a geographic area to be associated with each Bluetooth transceiver, with the geographic areas associated with various Bluetooth transceivers communicated with the mobile device 120 from a central repository. These geographical areas can be determined according to calculations based on the transmission power of a Bluetooth transceiver, local geography and other factors. These geographical areas can be determined according to the sampling of the areas in which the transmissions of a Bluetooth transceiver can be detected. A combination of these techniques can be used. When a mobile device 120 can detect multiple Bluetooth transceivers, it can refine its location so that it is within the area in which the geographic areas associated with the detectable Bluetooth transceivers overlap.

The detection of one or more Bluetooth transceivers 160 may use a Bluetooth radio device (eg, Bluetooth receiver, Bluetooth transceiver) on the mobile device 120. The use of the Bluetooth radio device may use less energy than using the GPS receiver, transceiver cell phone or wifi on mobile device 120. However, the location determined using one or more Bluetooth transceivers 160 may be less accurate than if the global positioning system 150 was used, in particular when some or a single Bluetooth transceiver is detected. As such, the use of Bluetooth triangulation instead of GPS positioning may represent a transaction in which lower accuracy is accepted in exchange for lower energy consumption. The use of Bluetooth triangulation may use less energy and result in greater accuracy than the use of cellular triangulation, but it may not be possible in areas without a Bluetooth transceiver or where Bluetooth transceivers have not been registered in the geographic areas associated with a repository known by the mobile device.

In addition, one or more Wi-Fi access points 140 or Bluetooth transceivers 160 may be operative to detect the presence of the mobile device 120. A mobile device 120 may have an exclusive Wi-Fi media access control address (MAC address) and / or a Exclusive Bluetooth MAC address. A MAC address can be issued by the mobile device 120 as part of the network and device discovery. A Wi-Fi hotspot or Bluetooth transceiver may be able to perform the discovery of devices in which it requests the MAC addresses of nearby devices, inviting mobile devices, such as mobile device 120, to transmit their Wi-Fi MAC address, address MAC Bluetooth or other MAC address. In any case, a Wi-Fi access point, a Bluetooth transceiver and / or other wireless transceiver can be operative to detect a wireless MAC address for a mobile device 120 in the physical vicinity of the transceiver and, therefore, in the location of a service associated with the transceiver. In addition, by detecting and registering the MAC address for the mobile device 120, the user 125 associated with the mobile device 120 can be identified and registered as having visited the location of the service.

The mobile device 120 may communicate with the mobile cookie compatibility server 110 to update the mobile cookie compatibility server 110 as to its current location, which can be determined by the mobile device 120 according to the GPS-based location determination , location determination based on wifi, location determination based on the proximity of the cell tower or according to any other technique to determine the location of a mobile device. The mobile cookie compatibility server 110 can help coordinate location-based network services on behalf of mobile device 120 and / or can update other network services that take advantage of location information regarding the location of mobile device 120. The mobile cookie compatibility server 110 may maintain a repository of user information for use by the network services. In the location-based network services mode, the location of the mobile device 120 can be used since it is sufficiently equivalent to the location of the user 125 of the mobile device 120 in terms of the adequacy of the results of the network service according to the user location 125. As such, the location of the mobile device 120 and the location of the user 125 can be considered equal, equivalent and interchangeable.

A mobile cookie recognition server 160 may perform and coordinate both or any of the network services and services in person for a user 125 of the mobile device 120. The mobile cookie recognition server 160 may make use of mobile cookies in the performance of these services. Mobile cookies may comprise any information stored in association with a mobile device 120, which may include any information derived from the presence of a mobile device 120 at a location, any information stored on the mobile device 120, any information used in the configuration of the mobile device 120 and, in general, any information that takes advantage of the association between a mobile device 120 and a user 125 for the provision of services. Mobile cookies can be stored on a mobile device

120, can be stored on a mobile cookie compatibility server 110 and can be replicated between the mobile device 120 and the mobile cookie compatibility server 110.

Either or both of the mobile device 120 and the mobile cookie compatibility server 110 may interact with a mobile cookie recognition server 160 to receive, store and provide the mobile cookies. The mobile cookie recognition server 160 may be a network server used by a service to provide services that take advantage of network information, including mobile cookies. For example, mobile cookie recognition server 160 can be used to generate cookies that track the presence of a user 125 in a particular location. The mobile cookie recognition server 160 can be used to configure a mobile device 120 on behalf of a user 125 to interact with the specific location services. The mobile cookie recognition server 160 can be used to generate and retrieve mobile cookies that reflect the preferences of a user 125 and to use the preferences to personalize a network or in-person service according to the user 125. Mobile cookies stored on the mobile cookie compatibility server 110 Can be retrieved by the mobile cookie recognition server 160 directly from the mobile cookie compatibility server 110. The mobile cookies stored in the mobile device 120 can be retrieved directly by the mobile cookie recognition server 160 directly from the mobile device 120 or through the mobile cookie compatibility server 110, where the mobile cookie compatibility server 110 acts as a intermediary. Where mobile cookies are replicated through both mobile device 120 and mobile cookie compatibility server 110, mobile cookie recognition server 160 can store and retrieve mobile cookies with either or both, depending on the implementation. and of the circumstances.

The mobile cookie system 100 may include an authorization server (or other suitable component) that allows users to choose or not to have their location registered by the mobile cookie system 100 or shared with other systems (e.g., system of third parties), for example, when setting appropriate privacy settings. Users may be empowered to opt out or opt out of having mobile cookies stored on their mobile device or on a network server with reference to their mobile device. A privacy setting of a user 125 can determine what information associated with the user 125 can be registered, how the information associated with the user 125 can be registered, when the information associated with the user 125 can be registered, who can register the associated information with user 125, with whom you can share the information associated with user 125 and for what purposes you can register or share the information associated with user 125. For example, the privacy setting of a user 125 may specify access permissions to mobile cookies for user 125. Authorization servers or other authorization components may be used to reinforce one or more privacy settings of system users. of mobile cookies 100 by blocking, slicing, anonymization or other suitable techniques, as appropriate.

Computer 902 is operable to communicate with wired and wireless devices or entities that use the IEEE 802 family of standards, such as wireless devices operatively arranged in wireless communication (for example, IEEE 802.9 telecommunications waveform modulation techniques). These include, at least, Wi-Fi (or wireless fidelity), WiMax, Bluetooth ™ and wireless technologies, among others. Therefore, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply a specific communication between at least two devices. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE 802.9x (a, b, g, n, etc.) to provide secure, reliable and fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to connect networks (using the media and functions related to IEEE 802.3).

The modalities of the 1100 device can be implemented using single-input single-output architectures (SISO). However, certain implementations may include multiple antennas (e.g., 1118 antennas) for transmission and / or reception using adaptive antenna techniques for beam formation or multiple access spatial division (SDMA) and / or using MIMO communication techniques.

The components and features of the 1100 device can be implemented using any combination of discrete circuits, application specific integrated circuits (ASIOs), logic gates and / or single chip architectures. In addition, the features of the device 1100 can be implemented using microcontrollers, programmable logic matrices and / or microprocessors or any combination of the foregoing, where conveniently appropriate. It is noted that the hardware, firmware and / or software elements may be collectively or individually referred to herein as "logic" or "circuit."

It should be appreciated that the exemplary device 1100 shown in the block diagram of Figure 11 may represent a functionally descriptive example of many possible implementations. Consequently, the division, omission or inclusion of the block functions represented in the attached figures does not infer that the hardware components, circuits, software and / or elements for the implementation of these functions would necessarily have to be divided, omitted or included in the modalities

Some modalities can be described using the expression "any modality" or "a modality", together with their derivatives. These terms mean that a property, structure, or characteristic described in relation to the modality is included in at least one modality. The occurrences of the phrase "in one modality" in several places in the specification do not necessarily all refer to the same modality. In addition, some modalities can be described using the expression coupled and connected, together with their derivatives. These terms do not necessarily pretend to be synonymous with each other. For example, some modalities may be described by the terms "connected" and / or "coupled" to indicate that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. The term coupled, however, can also mean that two or more elements are not in direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other.

With general reference to the annotations and nomenclature used in this document, the detailed descriptions in this document may be presented in terms of program procedures executed on a computer or computer network. These descriptions and procedural representations are used by those skilled in the art to more effectively convey the essence of their work to other experts in the art.

A procedure, in this document, is proposed, and generally conceived to be a sequence consistent with the operations that lead to a desired result. These operations are those that require physical manipulations of physical quantities. Generally, but not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical, magnetic or optical signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared and otherwise handled. Sometimes it proves to be convenient, mainly for reasons of common use, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers or the like. It should be noted, however, that all of these and similar terms will be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to those amounts.

In addition, the manipulations performed are often mentioned with terms, such as adding or comparing, that are commonly associated with mental operations performed by a human operator. Such capacity of a human operator is not necessary, or desirable in most cases, in any of the operations described herein that are part of one or more modalities. Rather, operations are machine operations. The machines useful for performing the operations of various modalities of performing include general purpose digital computers or similar devices.

Various modalities also refer to devices or systems to perform these operations. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes, or it may comprise a general purpose computer activated or selectively reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. The procedures shown in this document are not inherently related to a particular computer or other device. Several general-purpose machines can be used with the programs written in accordance with the teachings of this document, or it may be convenient to build more specialized devices to perform the required method steps. The structure required for a variety of these machines will be apparent from the description given.

It is emphasized that the brief description is provided to allow a reader to quickly determine the nature of the technical disclosure. It is suggested in the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the above detailed description, it can be noted that various features are grouped into a single modality in order to simplify disclosure. This method of disclosure should not be construed as reflecting an intention that the claimed modalities require more features than those expressly cited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, the inventive matter lies in less than all of the features of a single modality described. Therefore, the following claims herein are incorporated in the detailed description, where each claim is maintained as a separate modality. In the appended claims, the terms include and in which they are used as simple equivalents of the respective terms to understand and where, respectively. On the other hand, the terms first, second, third, etc., are used merely as labels, and are not intended to impose numerical requirements on their objects.

What has been described above includes the examples of the architecture described. Of course, it is not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components and / or methodologies, but one skilled in the art can recognize that many additional combinations and permutations are possible. Consequently, it is intended that the novel architecture encompasses all the alterations, modifications and variations that lie within the essence and scope of the appended claims.
