摘要:
A system for creating an activity-based social includes receiving information from a computing device of a participant in an activity, and determining that the information qualifies the participant for membership in a social network associated with the activity. The system also includes associating the participant with the social network, and enabling access, by the participant, to an electronic portal that provides access to the social network.
摘要:
In general, techniques for using short range communication, such as near-field communication (NFC), to redirect the communication of a computing device to receive digital items selected at a kiosk may include receiving, by a computing device and from a kiosk computing device via a first communication pathway comprising short-range wireless communication, a device identifier associated with the kiosk computing device, wherein the kiosk computing device is operable to receive a selection of a digital item. The techniques may further include sending, by the computing device, a request for access to the digital item based at least in part on the device identifier associated with the kiosk computing device. The techniques may further include receiving, by the computing device via a second communication pathway, access to the digital item based at least in part on the device identifier.
摘要:
In some embodiments a light transceiver is associated with a computing rack and is adapted to transmit and/or receive one or more light beams via air to and/or from a second light transceiver associated with a second computing rack to communicate information between the computing rack and the second computing rack. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
An apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to receive solicited or unsolicited computing platform service information associated with services offered by a plurality of service points in a range area, store some portion of the received information, and periodically transmit, with or without confirmation, some portion of the stored information to one or more potential subscribers.
摘要:
A portable device is provided which includes a wireless communication module, a data storage module, and a controller for controlling the storage and/or retrieval of data from the data storage module. The wireless communication module communicates with each of a plurality of remote devices and the data storage module defines a first storage area and a second storage area. The controller controls the communication of data between the first storage area and the remote device, and the second storage area and the remote device dependent upon access rights associated with the remote device. The first storage area typically defines a public storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively free manner, and the second storage area typically defines a private storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively restricted manner.
摘要:
Software gaming applications may be written to accept an input from one or more standard controllers such a joystick with input buttons. However, multiple wearable sensors or hand held MID devices may enhance the gaming experience. These sensors may include devices such as accelerometers to detect movement of the extremity they are attached to and wirelessly communicate this information to a receiver. Embodiments are directed to using sensor fusion to combine sensor data from multiple wireless input devices, such as wearable sensors and MID devices together to form one logical input stream that is presented to an application and which the application sees are a standard controller.
摘要:
A system, apparatus, method and article for context enhanced wireless discovery are described. The apparatus may include a discovery module to receive status information for one or more target devices, the status information comprising physical characteristics of the one or more target devices. The apparatus may also include a composition manager to generate a graphical user interface including icons representing the one or more target devices, the icons including graphical representations of the status information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A Remote Display Protocol (RDP) server, such as a hand-held mobile device, may control various aspects of the RDP client, such as a large display. For example, if a user wishes to use a RDP system to project the display from their laptop computer onto a large-screen display mounted in a conference room, embodiments would allow the user to control aspects of the remote client such as location, size, and full-screen treatment.
摘要:
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for wirelessly transmitting a plurality of beacons describing one or more services offered by a service providing device are disclosed. In some embodiments, the service providing device transmits a first beacon including a first component providing a basic description of one or more services offered by the service providing device, and a second component providing a first part of an expanded description of the one or more services; and transmits wirelessly a second beacon including another first component re-providing the basic description of the one or more services, and another second component providing a second part of the expanded description of the one or more services. Additional variants and embodiments are also disclosed.
摘要:
Device, system, and method of composing logical computing platforms. For example, a wireless computing device includes: one or more wireless transceivers to send and receive wireless communication signals; a logical platform composition manager to provide a visual indication representing a logical platform that includes said wireless computing device and one or more wireless devices; and an input unit to receive a user selection corresponding to the visual representation; wherein, in response to the user selection, the logical platform composition manager is to command the one or more wireless transceivers to establish one or more wireless communication links between the wireless computing device and the one or more wireless devices.
