Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses may provide for the auto-determination of collective commonalities among users located within an environment. Once determined, a number of features may be further described for management of interactions within the environment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a processing system including a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:   determining that a first mobile device is located in a first micro-environment within a venue;   determining that a second mobile device is located in a second micro-environment within the venue;   obtaining first information associated with a first user of the first mobile device;   obtaining second information associated with a second user of the second mobile device;   comparing the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device with the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;   identifying that a subset of the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device has determined similarity with a subset of the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;   defining virtual boundaries of a third micro-environment within the venue; and   sending a first alert to the first mobile device and the second mobile device, wherein the first alert comprises an assignment of the first mobile device and the second mobile device to the third micro-environment within the venue.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first alert further comprises navigational instructions to proceed to the third micro-environment, and wherein the third micro-environment overlaps a portion of at least one of the first micro-environment and the second micro-environment. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first alert further comprises data regarding current locations of the first mobile device and the second mobile device and a location of the third micro-environment. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the identifying is based on at least one threshold confidence level for measuring similarities. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first information or the second information comprises line-of-sight data. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first information or the second information comprises data regarding behavior characteristics. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the behavior characteristics relate to language. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first information or the second information comprises data regarding temperature preference. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first information or the second information comprises data regarding noise preference. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first information or the second information comprises data regarding user shivering. 
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
 determining that a first mobile device is located in a first micro-environment within a venue;   determining that a second mobile device is located in a second micro-environment within the venue;   receiving first information associated with a first user of the first mobile device;   receiving second information associated with a second user of the second mobile device;   comparing the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device with the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;   identifying that a subset of the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device has determined similarity with a subset of the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;   defining virtual boundaries of a third micro-environment within the venue; and   sending a first alert to the first mobile device and the second mobile device, wherein the first alert comprises navigational instructions to proceed to the third micro-environment.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the first alert further comprises an assignment of the first mobile device and the second mobile device to the third micro-environment within the venue. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the first alert further comprises data regarding current locations of the first mobile device and the second mobile device and a location of the third micro-environment. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the identifying is based on at least one threshold confidence level for measuring similarities. 
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the first information or the second information comprises line-of-sight data. 
     
     
         16 . A method, comprising:
 determining, by a processing system including a processor, that a first mobile device is located in a first micro-environment within a venue;   determining, by the processing system, that a second mobile device is located in a second micro-environment within the venue;   obtaining, by the processing system, first information associated with a first user of the first mobile device;   receiving, by the processing system, second information associated with a second user of the second mobile device;   comparing, by the processing system, the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device with the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;   identifying, by the processing system, that a subset of the first information associated with the first user of the first mobile device has determined similarity with a subset of the second information associated with the second user of the second mobile device;   defining, by the processing system, virtual boundaries of a third micro-environment within the venue; and   sending, by the processing system, a first alert to the first mobile device and the second mobile device, wherein the first alert comprises data regarding current locations of the first mobile device and the second mobile device and a location of the third micro-environment.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the first alert further comprises an assignment of the first mobile device and the second mobile device to the third micro-environment within the venue. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the first alert further comprises navigational instructions to proceed to the third micro-environment. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the identifying is based on at least one threshold confidence level for measuring similarities. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the first information or the second information comprises data regarding temperature preference or noise preference.
