In accordance with one example embodiment of the present invention a method comprises at least partially enabling a set of functionalities and attributes associated to an area for facilitating business transactions, networking activities, or social interactions of users who are within, proximate, or associated, at least provisionally, with said area. In some implementations, the present invention provides functionalities apt to discover taxonomies of users in relation to locations. In some other implementations, the present invention provides functionalities apt to trace or follow up with users who have associated their identities, at least during a time window, with said area. In other implementations, the invention provides technical solutions to facilitate the operation of location-based business operations.

Method, system, and apparatus for location-based machine-assisted interactivity

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method, a system, and an apparatus are presented for mediating ambiance outputs among a plurality of users located in a common area. In some implementations, said ambiance outputs can be adaptive or interactive shared digital works. In other implementations, said ambiance outputs can be shared mediated augmented reality. In other implementations, said ambiance outputs can be the result of hierarchical schemes and algorithms. In another embodiment a method, system, and apparatus is presented for extracting and/or storing previously tagged items from a digital work.

Method, system and apparatus for interacting with a digital work that is performed in a predetermined location

In accordance with one example embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of antennas that are arranged according to a predetermined geometrical pattern receive radio emission signals from nearby radio emitting objects. Said radio emission signals are used, at least in part, to exhibit augmented reality indicia on a display, wherein the position of said augmented reality indicia on said display approximately indicates the direction of arrival of said radio emission signals and is organized or corrected according to predetermined criteria. One or more databases, either positioned on the cloud, or on the headset, or at an intermediate apparatus, may store the data, settings, and authorizations associated with said radio emitting object to permit and regulate the representation of said augmented reality indicia.

Method, system, and apparatus for optimising the augmentation of radio emissions

In accordance with one example embodiment of the present invention a method is provided for adapting and customizing the attributes and the functionalities of a connected object according to preferences, settings and permissions associated with a user paired with said connected object. In some implementations, at least part of the inputs and adjustments imparted by said user to said connected object via an input/output user interface could seamlessly translate into other connected objects that belong to the same class and are paired with said user. In other implementations, the pairing of connected target objects with user IDs provides novel functionalities.
