Apple的新專利

根據USPTO所公開的專利資訊顯示，Apple申請了一個社群交友的專利，可以透過個人所設定項目在當前位置完成自動配對，同時將資訊傳送至附近適合對象的iPhone螢幕內，畫面中將會顯示個人照片 (或其他設定資料)、配對合適指數或與Ping功\能整合，另外也會顯示傳遞訊息對象的相對距離範圍。
看起來好像很好，只是不知道有沒有實用價值！

Title : AD HOC NETWORKING BASED ON CONTENT AND LOCATION
Filing Date : 2009.12.15.
Application Date : 2011.6.16.
Abstract :
Methods, program products, and systems for ad hoc networking based on content and location are described. A user of a mobile device can identify another user using another mobile device who is close by, if both users have requested to participate in networking. Common interests and experiences of two or more users located close to each other can be identified from content, including automatically created usage data of the mobile devices. Usage data of a mobile device can be created based on activities performed on the mobile device (e.g., songs downloaded), a trajectory of the mobile device (e.g., places traveled), or other public data available from the mobile device (e.g., pictures shared). Each of the users can be notified that another user having the common interests and experiences is close by. A means of initiating communication can be provided to the users to facilitate communication between the users.
