CONNECTIVITY OF KINDCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 18 / 747,427 for CONNECTIVITY OF KIND, filed June 18, 2024, and U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 611,741 for COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR COMMONALITY INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS EXCHANGE BETWEEN INDEPENDENT DEVICES, filed December 18, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present disclosure relates to innovative systems and methodologies designed to connect users and / or devices based on shared information instructions and or commonality, aiming to facilitate information exchange and diverse interactions among these users.INTRODUCTION
[0003] Various entities including, but not limited to, individuals, groups, organizations, mechanical devices, and cybernetic systems necessarily utilize information sharing protocols. Such sharing of information may be needed to facilitate transmission of instructions, associate a given device with another device, and permit other processes. All such entities benefit by sharing mutual interests, objectives and experiences to best learn and achieve dedicated objectives. The need to communicate and make connections between a range of such entities that share a commonality is universal. Such a need ranges from human interaction to machine and robotic interaction (e.g., those that emulate and perform according to human abilities). The system of the instant description, described below, is a systematic configuration of devices and sets of procedures that facilitate the sharing of information and instructions between entities in a unique interactive manner.
[0004] As a nonlimiting example, individuals, groups, organizations, mechanical devices, cybernetic systems and other entities commonly share mutual interests in specific domains like music, geography, history, politics, and education. The inherent desire to communicate, interact, or establish relationships with others who share similar likenesses is a prevailing aspect among such entities.
[0005] Moreover, objects, ranging from electro-mechanical machines to virtual reality avatars and loT devices, can be dynamically programmed to exhibit a "likeness" and dependencies orprescribed procedures for specific subjects. Establishing connections between these objects, mirroring the desires of such entities, proves to be advantageous for networking and enhancing preexisting workflows.
[0006] Traditionally, a searching entity or device aiming to find others with shared likenesses conducts subject-related searches within databases. However, this approach has limitations, as it may overlook entities or objects not present in the searched database or not associated with the queried subject. Even when a potential associated information exchange is identified, establishing a relationship can be hindered by the lack of available contact information or disparities in physical or virtual locations.
[0007] In response, there is a discernible demand for improved systems and methods capable of effectively identifying and pairing users or devices with mutual common interests, procedural association, and / or prescribed sequencing. An optimal implementation involves adapting these systems to ascertain a commonality between users be it the physical and / or virtual environment of these users or devices, streamlining the process of environmental filtering for matches. Furthermore, these systems should empower users or devices to articulate preferences related to matching parameters and shared information, complemented by a robust notification mechanism for identified matches and connections.
[0008] Thus, it would be desirable to provide systems and methods configured to enable meaningful matching and subsequent communication between entities, both human and machine, in either a real-world environment or a digital environment.SUMMARY

Access technologies such as 2G, 2.5G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and future access networks may enable wide area coverage for client devices, such as client devices with various degrees of mobility. For example, a wireless network may enable a radio connection through a radio network access technology such as Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE Advanced, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Bluetooth, 802.11b / g / n, and the like. A wireless network may include virtually any wireless communication mechanism by which information may travel between client devices and another computing device, network, and the like.
[0083] Internet Protocol (IP) may be used for transmitting data communication packets over a network of participating digital communication networks, and may include protocols such as TCP / IP, UDP, DECnet, NetBEUI, IPX, Appletalk, and the like. Versions of the Internet Protocol include IPv4 and IPv6. The Internet includes local area networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), wireless networks, and long-haul public networks that may allow packets to be communicated between the local area networks. The packets may be transmitted between nodes in the network to sites each of which has a unique local network address. A data communication packet may be sent through the Internet from a user site via an access node connected to the Internet. The packet may be forwarded through the network nodes to any target site connected to the network provided that the site address of the target site is included in a header of the packet. Each packet communicated over the Internet may be routed via a path determined by gateways and servers that switch the packet according to the target address and the availability of a network path to connect to the target site.
[0084] The header of the packet may include, for example, the source port (16 bits), destination port (16 bits), sequence number (32 bits), acknowledgement number (32 bits), data offset (4 bits), reserved (6 bits), checksum (16 bits), urgent pointer (16 bits), options (variable number of bits inmultiple of 8 bits in length), padding (may be composed of all zeros and includes a number of bits such that the header ends on a 32 bit boundary). The number of bits for each of the above may also be higher or lower.
[0085] A “content delivery network” or “content distribution network” (CDN), as may be used in an example apparatus, system and method implementing the Engine, generally refers to a distributed computer system that comprises a collection of autonomous computers linked by a network or networks, together with the software, systems, protocols and techniques designed to facilitate various services, such as the storage, caching, or transmission of content, streaming media and applications on behalf of content providers. Such services may make use of ancillary technologies including, but not limited to, “cloud computing,” distributed storage, DNS request handling, provisioning, data monitoring and reporting, content targeting, personalization, and business intelligence. A CDN may also enable an entity to operate and / or manage a third party's web site infrastructure, in whole or in part, on the third party's behalf.
[0086] A Peer-to-Peer (or P2P) computer network relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a given set of dedicated servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. A pure peer-to-peer network does not have a notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both “clients” and “servers” to the other nodes on the network.
[0087] Embodiments of the present invention include apparatuses, systems, and methods implementing the Engine. Embodiments of the present invention may be implemented on one or more of client devices 102-106, which are communicatively coupled to servers including servers 107-109. Moreover, client devices 102-106 maybe communicatively (wirelessly or wired) coupled to one another. In particular, software aspects of the Engine may be implemented in the program 223. The program 223 may be implemented on one or more client devices 102-106, one or more servers 107-109, and 113, or a combination of one or more client devices 102-106, and one or more servers 107-109 and 113.
[0088] As noted above, embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to apparatuses, methods, and systems for client device communication and connectivity and commonality assessment thereof. The embodiments may be referred to simply as the system.
[0089] The system may utilize the computerized and network elements as described above and as illustrated in FIGS. 1-2. Accordingly, the system may include hardware and software elements (asembodied in system 100 and electronic device 200) configured to execute the features of the algorithms and workflows described herein. For the purposes of this disclosure, it is understood that actions, functionalities, and characteristics of the “client suite” may be shared across all or any one of “client,” “client device,” “user,” or the like. Thus, the actions, functionalities, and characteristics described herein should not be read as limited to any one of the devices or components described herein, unless expressly recited otherwise.
[0090] The system described herein may address a common challenge encountered in group settings such as meetings or conferences, where individuals wish to connect with others but lack awareness of their respective characteristics. In such scenarios, participants aim to establish new contacts but may inadvertently overlook someone who could be interesting or precisely the person they are looking to meet. Identifying individuals with shared interests becomes challenging. The proposed system overcomes this issue by introducing a matching algorithm, an indicator device, and communication system thereof that not only allows instant and local information exchange but also indicates shared characteristics. As a nonlimiting example, the system described herein may be utilized in a scenario where a seller of a particular category of widgets seeks to connect with a buyer of the same category of product. The system may identify the associated information exchange, facilitating introduction and information exchange.
[0091] While traditional events may use conventional adhesive name tags, this disclosure provides a more dynamic alternative to enhance networking opportunities. The system extends its applicability beyond simple networking, finding utility in diverse settings such as medical facilities, universities, research institutes, corporate environments, factory floors, and even gaming applications.
[0092] In a research institute or medical facility, where information exchange is crucial, the instant disclosure offers a solution. On a factory floor, the system may optimize the flow of information and instructions among robotic devices or machinery. Additionally, the instant disclosure may address the challenge of connecting users with similar interests and needs within associated organizations or common interest areas.
[0093] Moreover, the system of the present disclosure tackles the issue of facilitating the exchange of ideas and information in virtual environments beyond simplistic distance measurement models. The system of the present disclosure goes beyond a simple approach or basic trend analysis, aimingto foster connections among users and promote collective understanding and learning from shared experiences.
[0094] Therefore, the system described herein may be arranged in a number of configurations, including, but not limited to, a personal physical local usage configuration (i.e., an individual at a trade show, medical facility, or other similar physical setting); a robotic physical local usage configuration (i.e., a system of automated components or robotic entities adapted to interact with each other or interface with people; such settings may include a factory floor, a smaller “makers shop,” or a home computerized system); a virtual reality application configuration (i.e., a setting enabling users to interact in a virtual reality world, where exchange of information between users is permitted); and / or a social group configuration (i.e., an institution, club, organization, or other group allowing users to converge to exchange information and ideas).
[0095] For the purposes of this disclosure, the device(s) associated with a user may be referred to as the “client suite.” Thus, any of the steps described herein may be executed by any of the devices or components within a client suite or tangential to a client suite. Referring to FIG. 3, a client suite may comprise a microprocessor. In such a setting, a microprocessor may serve as the brain of the connected devices and components within the client suite, enabling such devices and components to process, receive, transmit, and interpret data from various inputs and outputs. The microprocessor’s function may involve executing computer-readable instructions, managing data, and facilitating communication between interconnected devices or other client suites (and components thereof). The microprocessor (also referred to as a logic chip or “mini computer”) may be capable of storing data and communicating wirelessly along a WIFI or Bluetooth signal. For the purposes of this disclosure, the microprocessor of FIG. 3 may embody any of the processor functionality described above regarding FIG. 2. Further, for the purposes of this disclosure, “client suite,” “client device,” and “chip” may refer to the same device. Accordingly, functionality or an application directed to a “client device” may equally be carried out by a “chip” or “client suite.”
[0096] FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a client suite 300, the client suite 300 may comprise a microprocessor 302, an indicator device 304 comprising an output component 306, a signal indicator 308, an interactive module 310, a client device 312, and a location indicator 314. The client suite 300 may be communication with an internet 316 and GPS module 318.
[0097] The client suite may include an indicator device. The indicator device may be an internal or external component configured to emit one or more outputs, for example, via the one or moreoutput components. The indicator device may be in informatic communication with at least the microprocessor, the interactive module, and / or the client device. Further, the indicator device may be in direct network communication with the internet or any suitable communication network. The output components may include a display screen, LED indicators, vibrational motor, speaker, and / or other output components configured to make an indication apparent via any of the senses. In further embodiments, the indicator device is capable of receiving and transmitting signals with other components external to the host client suite. For example, the indicator device may be configured to send and receive signals with other indicator devices in other client suites. The indicator device, in addition to providing a perceivable output (e.g., audio, visual, etc.), may be configured for the reception and / or transmission of instructions or other data. As a nonlimiting example, the indicator device may be adapted to receive data from another indicator device or any suitable third-party device. Further, the indicator device may be adapted to transmit data to any other indicator device or suitable third-party device. In either or both instances, the indicator device may further transmit to the client device (or other client suite component) after reception / transmission from / to another indicator device.
[0098] In an embodiment, the indicator device is in informatic communication with a signal indicator. The signal indicator may be adapted to utilize commonality -based technology to provide real-time assessments of signal strength, offering accuracy and efficiency in optimizing communication between devices and / or facilitating matches between devices. The signal indicator may include one or more sensor components adapted to detect and analyze signals emitted by neighboring client suites or other signal-emitting devices. By gauging the strength of the signal, the commonality of these signal sources may be determined. The signal indicator may be configured to equate the strength of a signal to measure the distance between neighboring client suites. This commonality data may then be utilized to display a commonality indicator and / or inform the workflows described herein. Further, the signal indicator is adapted to function in realtime, allowing the client suite to monitor changes in signal strength, and thus commonality, as two client devices move relative to one another. This dynamic responsiveness ensures that the commonality determination is based on the latest available information.
[0099] In an embodiment, the client suite comprises an interactive module. The interactive module may be in communication with at least the client device and / or the indicator device. The interactive module may be a portable and / or an external device equipped with one or more input sensors (e.g.,tactile sensor) and / or communication interfaces (e.g., for receiving and transmitting signals between the interactive module, client device, microprocessor, and / or indicator device). The interactive module may be configured to detect and interpret inputs (e.g., tactile input) provided by a user, translating such inputs into actionable commands for the associated components (e.g., the indicator device, the microprocessor, and / or the client device). The interactive module may be equipped with communication interfaces to establish a seamless (wireless and / or wired) connection with the indicator device and / or the client device. The interactive module may comprise an independent microcontroller for input interpretation. However, the interactive module may also be configured to utilize the microprocessor (or other suitable component) of the client suite to interpret the interactive module received input. In an embodiment, the interactive module may be configured to accept or reject a pending associated information exchange, wherein a user may provide tactile input (or another input type) into the interactive module to communicate whether the user seeks to connect with the pending associated information exchange or not.
[0100] The client suite may be in communication with a client device. The client device may be a smartphone or other personal computing device, with a means for internet connectivity and integration with the client suite. The client device may embody the components and / or functionality of the electronic device 200.
[0101] The client suite may be in communication with a Global Positioning System (GPS) module. The client device may be in communication with a location indicator, wherein the location indicator is configured to identify and locate other client suites within a predetermined area. The location indicator may employ any suitable approaches, for example, utilizing the GPS module and / or a relativistic assessment of signal strength of neighboring client suites. In the GPS embodiment, the location indicator may leverage the GPS module to find the position of the client suite, providing absolute coordinates. Simultaneously, in the GPS embodiment, the location indicator may receive information from the GPS module comprising the absolute coordinates of other client suites. The client device, microprocessor, or other component of the client suite may be configured to leverage the absolute coordinates of the instant client suite and the absolute coordinates of the surrounding client suite(s) to determine which client suites are within the predetermined commonality threshold of the instant client suite. In a relativistic approach, signal strength may be analyzed from nearby client suites (e.g., via the signal indicator and processes thereof). In further embodiments, the relativistic approach and the GPS approach may supplementone another and / or may be used in conjunction. For example, the location indicator may utilize algorithms to combine data from both GPS and relativistic approaches, optimizing accuracy and minimizing errors.
[0102] Referring to FIG. 4, each of a plurality of client suites may transmit an outgoing signal. For the purposes of this disclosure, the client suite should be understood to embody any one or more of the client devices, the indicator device, the microprocessor (or “chip”), the interactive module, the signal indicator, and / or the location indicator. The outgoing signal may be continuously output from each of the plurality of client suites. Similarly, each of the plurality of client suites may be configured to receive the outgoing signal from any of the other client suites. Each of the outgoing signals may include one or more characteristics that link the outgoing signal to an identity of a particular client suite. For example, each outgoing signal may comprise a unique JSON string. As outgoing signals are received, each of the received outgoing signals are appended in a list. The list may be stored locally in the receiving client suite and / or may be stored in a cloud or database accessible by any number of the client suites.
[0103] FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of a first client suite 402 in communication with a second client suite 404 and a third client suite 408. The communication between the first client suite 402, the second client suite 404, and the third client suite 408 may occur via a communication network 406. For the purposes of FIG. 4, each of the client suits 402 / 404 / 408 may embody the characteristics and / or components of the client suite 300 depicted in FIG. 3 and described above.
[0104] FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of a method for connecting two or more client suites. At step 502, a JSON ID string or other similar data element may be loaded into each of the chips. For the purposes of this disclosure, “chips” may refer to the microprocessors within each of the client suites, stand-alone computer units, the entire client suite, and / or any suitable component of the client suite.
[0105] In order to build the JSON ID string, information may be collected directly from each of the client suites and / or indirectly from the underlying user. In one embodiment, a central database may be maintained of all users or client suites and characteristics associated with each of the users or client suites. As a nonlimiting example, the fields of the database may include, but are not limited to, identifying data of the user, identifying data of the client suite or components thereof, institutional data related to the user’s groups or clubs, data extracted from social media or a third- party system, or any other suitable characteristic data. In various embodiments, the fields may bemodified and adapted to specific purposes and concerns. As described above, the client device ID may also be inputted to the central database and / or assigned to the user, to associate the user ID info with the hardware device(s) being used.
[0106] In various embodiments, such data may be collected via one or more collection procedures. In one aspect, a user may fill out a form, for example, presented on the client device. In such an embodiment, upon the initiation of the process the user may be presented with a computer-fillable form or questionnaire. In another aspect, a central administrator may provide such information based upon an existing database. For instance, if the use of the system herein is in regard to a school, corporation, public initiation, or other suitable group, the administrator may interface the existing database with the central database. The central database and overall system may provide a template for such an interface and may be configured to assign appropriate hardware identification. In another aspect, a proprietary search program may be utilized to research the users on the Internet, social media, and the like as to ascertain the user’s information. In such an embodiment, web crawlers or other scraping techniques may be employed. In yet another aspect, the system may leverage prior usage data to upgrade and learn the nature of the user and modify the user ID profile. In such an example, artificial intelligence models may be employed to discern likely characteristics of the user based on the prior usage data or data of other users.
[0107] Thus, for the purposes of this disclosure, the system may contemplate both user ID information (e.g., information related to the user of the system) and device ID information (e.g., information related to the underlying devices and / or components of the system).
[0108] In an embodiment, the system employs a JSON object string defining the characteristics of the user (e.g., the user ID information and / or the device ID information). As a non-limiting example, this data object may be named “myJSON id#”. However, the data may be stored in any format that is readable and transferable. As contemplated above, each user may have a unique “myJSON_id#”. Although this data may be stored in the central database, in a smaller or private system, this information may be stored privately or locally.
[0109] Once the data is collected and formatted it may then be transferred to the client device and / or the client suite. This may be achieved by downloading the data or “myJSON id#” to the client suite and / or the “chip” (microprocessor). As a non-limiting example, this process may occur via an internet API or via the download capability from the client device.
[0110] At step 504, all chips transmit their corresponding data, for example, as beacons. Interaction among the chips within an environment may occur in various settings, ranging from a confined physical space, like a room, to larger physical and / or intangible spaces, such as institutions or social media communities. In the context of "personal physical local usage," the environment surrounding said personal physical local usage typically constitutes a communal space. Within this shared area, individual client suites or chips may engage in data transmission.
[0111] In an embodiment, a "beacon signal" carrying the user's data object, identified, for example, as "myJSON id#," is broadcasted to all other client suites or chips present in the environment. As contemplated above, each "chip" or client suite consistently emits an outgoing signal containing the chip or client suite’s corresponding information, which is received by all other chips or client suites within the same environment. In such a scenario, the transmitting chip or client suite may also function as a receiver, establishing a reciprocal reception of one or more outgoing signals. Such an interaction may be implemented through various protocols (e.g., Wi-Fi, a Bluetooth, or any suitable electronic data transmission protocol).
[0112] At step 506, commonality from a first chip to a second chip is determined. As described above, the “beacon” nature of this configuration enables the system to identify the location and / or commonality of neighboring client suites. Several methods can be employed for this purpose, including relativistic signal strength assessment, GPS assessment, RF signaling, pier locating assessment, and capacitance sensing (described below). In an embodiment, the identification of location is then integrated into the transmitted data from the beacon.
[0113] The beacon ID transmission protocol may comprise the following steps. For a set period of time, all client suites individually receive the “myJSON id#” packets from each of the plurality of client suites. In each of the receiving client suites, the received data may be renamed “yourJSON_id#” and may include amended data containing suitable location information. All such transmission and reception of data may be collectively complied to create a “yourJSONDataObject,” which may include all outgoing data from all client suites.
[0114] At step 508, information is exchanged between chips. At this step or any other suitable step, an opt-in or opt-out option may be provided to the user’s associated with either of the chips. Accordingly, via interaction with the client device or other component within the client suite, the first or second user may determine whether to proceed with matching with the other user. In another embodiment, additional information may be transferred between client devices based upona system of approvals. This system of approvals may be referred to herein as “winks” (wherein denials are referred to as “frowns”). As a nonlimiting example, after the system determines an associated information exchange, a client may be enabled to “wink” at the other matching client, and the other matching client may be enabled to “wink” back at the client that initially “winked.” After the final “wink,” transmission of data, documents, etc. may be permitted between the two clients. The “wink” may utilize any of the signal or packet transmission protocols recited in the instant disclosure.
[0115] At step 510, the system may determine whether an associated information exchange exists between two or more client suites, for example, based on the user ID information and / or the device ID information, and confirm as a “handshake.” After confirmation of information exchange between a transmitting chip and receiving chip, a comparison is made between the members of the data object and the user’s own identification information. As a non-limiting example, the user’s “myJSON_id#” is compared with all the received “yourJSON_id#” data to search for commonality and matching. Such a search for commonality and matching is subject to the applied algorithms defined and described in this disclosure. In a further embodiment, a “filter” may be applied to the incoming data to limit the selection of the “matched” device. In such a nonlimiting example, the filter may be based upon “commonality” (e.g., based on the signal strength assessment described above). Accordingly, commonality as determined by signal strength may be utilized to list each of the pending matches in order of distance, allowing the most proximal matches to manifest first. At the filter step, other considerations may be applied, as well (e.g., matching may be limited to those client devices associated within a particular group).
[0116] At step 512, the connectivity between the first and the second chip is displayed. At such a step, information corresponding to the first chip may be relayed to the second chip and information corresponding to the second chip may be relayed to the first chip, such that the user’s associated with each chip may view the connection.
[0117] At step 514, the first chip and / or the second chip may signal the status of the connection. For example, the first chip and / or the second chip may transmit a signal to the other chip indicating the status of the connection. In an embodiment, at step 514, for example including one or more robots or computerized actors, computer-executable instructions may be provided to the receiving chip. In such an embodiment, the connection may facilitate an action in the receiving chip.
[0118] At step 516, the first chip and / or the second chip may transmit data to the receiving chip. In such an embodiment, the sending chip may gain control of the receiving chip, for example, allowing the sending trip to induce action in the receiving chip remotely.
[0119] FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the commonality threshold determination between three chips. As shown in FIG. 6, each chip may transmit packets as beacons, for example, represented as the dashed lines between chips. The system, as described above, may determine to match two or more chips based on commonality (e.g., physical commonality, institutional commonality, etc.). Thus, in FIG. 6, Chip 1 and Chip 2 have matched (demonstrated by the solid arrow between Chip 1 and Chip 2) based, in part, on the commonality of Chip 1 to Chip 2. Conversely, Chip 3 may not match with Chip 1 or Chip 2 due to the lesser commonality, even if, for example, Chip 1 and Chip 3 share user characteristics that would facilitate a likeness match otherwise.
[0120] FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of a first chip 602 in communication with a second chip 604 and a third chip 606. The communication between the first chip 602, the second chip 604, and the third chip 606 may occur via a communication network 406. For the purposes of this disclosure, the first chip 602, the second chip 604, and / or the third chip 606 may embody any of the “client suites” described above and / or any components thereof.
[0121] In various embodiments, the chips (or client suites or components thereof) may be configured to maintain information and the connection itself within a private network (e.g., stored locally within each chip (or client suite or component thereof). As a nonlimiting example, the system may be configured to juxtapose “private devices” and “public devices.” In such a nonlimiting example, a “private device” may refer to devices and components within a local network, within a particular connection (e.g., the two devices in communication), or within any predetermined metric (e.g., a particular geographical area, a certain number of devices, certain types of devices, etc.). A “public device” may refer to devices and components outside of the local network (describe above). Thus, different actions may be enabled to be carried out with private devices and / or public devices. Accordingly, the system may be configured such that transmission of the initial signal (e.g., the signal attempting to form a connection) is transmitted via the “public” infrastructure, while data transfer after said connection (e.g., transmission of instructions between two connected devices) is transmitted via the “private” infrastructure.
[0122] FIG. 8 is an illustration of communication between a plurality of client suites based, in part, on commonality assessment. FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment of a first chip 602, a second chip 604, and a third chip 606 all in communication with one another. The first chip 602 may be connected to a client device 804 and may be in communication with an API server 802. The second chip 604 may be connected to the client device 804 and may be in communication with the API server 804. The third chip 604 may be connected to the client device 804 and may be in communication with the API server.
[0123] FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of an indicator device. The indicator device may include an animation element, one or more indicator lights, a speaker, a vibrational motor, a battery, and / or input / output interfaces. The animation element may be an audiovisual aspect displayed via a display screen and / or speaker. For example, in some embodiments, if a first user and a second user match, an animated aspect correlated to the first user may display on the second user, such that the first user may be able to discern which user they have matched with, based on knowledge of their own animated aspect. In further embodiments, in addition or in replacement of the animation element, the device may be configured with an indicator signal wherein the indicator signal includes the identity of one or more of the connecting parties. Thus, in an example where Device A has connected with Device B, Device A may transmit an indicator signal including identification information for Device B, such that Device B may identify Device A as a matched device. In such embodiments, indicator devices may enable one party to find another party based on identifying data in a generated ID icon, animation, signal, or tune. Thus, such a protocol may enable visualizing of identifying data of a first party in the transmissions of a second party for use with human interactions (e.g., to see / discover the other) and / or robotic interactions (e.g., robots drawn to signals contain identifying data).
[0124] FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of an electronic device 700 which may comprise an animation element or indicator signal 702, a speaker 704, a vibrational motor 706, a battery 708, and an input / output device 710. A chip 712 may be connected to, and in communication with, the electronic device 700.
[0125] In an embodiment, the system may comprise a plurality of client devices or client suites comprising, for example, at least a first client suite and a second client suite. In an embodiment, the first client suite may be configured to transmit, if one or more conditions are in commonality across the first client suite and the second client suite, a request to the second client device; andthe second client suite may be configured to receive, from the first client device, the request. Further, in such an embodiment, the second client suite may be configured to extract, from the request, a first client device identifier; and displaying, via the second client suite, the first client device identifier.
[0126] In another embodiment, the system may comprise a plurality of client devices or client suites comprising, for example, at least a first client suite and a second client suite. In an embodiment, the first client suite may be configured to transmit a request to the second client device; and the second client suite may be configured to receive, from the first client device, the request; extract, from the request, if one or more conditions are in commonality across the first client device and the second client device, a first client device identifier; and display, via the second client device suite, the first client suite identifier.
[0127] In effect, if commonality is determined between two devices, a first party’s likeness or identifier may be displayed in a device associated with the second party, such that the first party may see themselves in the second party device. Accordingly, in a further embodiment, the second party’s likeness may be displayed in the first party device. As a nonlimiting example, if the system is utilized in a conference hall, guests walking the hall may “see themselves” in another guest’s indicator device.
[0128] In further embodiments, for example those comprising robots or other devices, the likeness of one party being visible in the other party’s device may manifest as an emanating signal, wherein said emanating signal include the identity of the matched robot or device. As a nonlimiting example, a first robot may be determined to share commonality with a second robot, wherein the first robot may transmit a signal comprising the identity of the second robot, such that, when the signal is interpreted by the second robot, it is clear to the second robot that the signal is correlated to itself.
[0129] The matching elements of the workflows described above may utilize a commonality matching method and a likeness matching method. Each of these methods may be utilized in a combined matching algorithm.
[0130] The commonality matching method, as illustrated in the described embodiment, is a process designed to connect users based on their “closeness” at a given time. It initiates with the system receiving identification and location information from a first client device. By determining the corresponding user account associated with this client device or client suite, the system updatesthe user's location information and repeats the process for a second user device. Commonality may be evaluated by comparing the location information of the two users and checking if it satisfies a commonality threshold, which may be system-defined or user-defined. In various embodiments, as described above, the commonality matching method may utilize various location-tracking technologies, including GPS, relativistic location assessment via signal strength determinations, and more. The resulting commonality associated information exchange may trigger a notification or indication to the user(s), indicating the commonality associated information exchange and potentially sharing user information. In some embodiments, one or more of the two users may opt to continue with the associated information exchange or decline the associated information exchange.
[0131] The likeness matching method, in contrast, may focus on connecting users / devices based on shared interests, preferences, and other relevant criteria. The system may receive identification information from user devices and associated user accounts. Such identification information may include contact details, interest, organization affiliation, and more. Likeness matching may involves analyzing the users' likeness information, which may include shared interests or demographic characteristics. Likeness scores are calculated, considering weights and thresholds, to determine the level of commonality between users / devices. The resulting commonality associated information exchange may trigger a notification or indication to the user(s), indicating the commonality associated information exchange and potentially sharing user information. In some embodiments, one or more of the two users may opt to continue with the connection or decline the connection at any time.
[0132] These two methods can be combined into an integrated algorithm for a comprehensive user / device matching approach. The algorithm starts with commonality matching to identify users in close physical commonality. Once potential matches are found, the system further refines the connections through likeness matching, considering shared interests. This dual-stage process ensures that users / devices not only share a proximal space but also have common interests, increasing the likelihood of meaningful connections. The algorithm leverages location-tracking technologies and considers both physical and virtual commonality. Notifications are sent to users upon determining a commonality and / or likeness associated information exchange, fostering user connections based on both geographical closeness and commonality.
[0133] The system described herein may include a capacitance embodiment. The capacitance embodiment relates to a commonality detection system that utilizes capacitance elements embedded within client devices or suites to establish and quantify the spatial commonality between two or more client devices or suites. Accordingly, each client device and / or client suite may be equipped with a capacitance element, which may be integrated into the component’s housing or positioned strategically on the component’s surface. The capacitance element may be adapted to sense and measure changes in capacitance induced by the presence of nearby objects, specifically other client devices and / or client suites equipped with similar capacitance elements. By leveraging the inherent electrical properties of capacitance, the system establishes a dynamic and responsive means of determining the commonality of two client devices and / or client suites. The capacitancebased commonality detection may enable the implementation of intuitive and seamless interactions between users.
[0134] As a nonlimiting example, the capacitance embodiment utilizes algorithms and signal processing techniques to interpret the capacitance measurements obtained between two or more client devices and / or client suites. The capacitance values are analyzed to determine the relative distance and orientation between the client devices and / or client suites, thereby facilitating the establishment of a commonality measurement. The integration of capacitance elements in the client devices and client suites described herein offers an improved approach to commonality sensing, unlocking improved possibilities for meaningful connections.
[0135] In an embodiment, the capacitance measurement may be utilized to determine the commonality between two client devices or client suites and an assessment of the likeness data described above may be utilized to determine the likeness between two client devices or client suites. As a nonlimiting example, a capacitance element may be disposed in the display indicator. In such a nonlimiting example, the capacitance element within the display indicator may act as a “receptor,” wherein the element is adapted to sense commonality of another capacitance element, and wherein the element is configured to relay the capacitance measurement to the client device or suitable component within the client suite. The capacitance element may be suited for determining the presence of other client devices or suites within a moderate range.
[0136] In an embodiment, the capacitance embodiment and the capacitance elements thereof may be utilized to produce 3D imaging, wherein said capacitance element(s) are positioned on a client device to capture spatial data. These capacitance elements, as contemplated above, may beconfigured to detect changes in capacitance influenced by the surrounding environment, allowing for the manifestation of a 3D model of the client suite’s surroundings. By analyzing the capacitance data, the system may determine the spatial relationships and proximities between an instant client suite and other objects, including commonality to other client suites equipped with similar capacitance elements. In one embodiment, a user may be equipped with three or more capacitance elements, permitting triangulation mapping of objects within the user / device environment. Yet further, with the addition of artificial intelligence imaging, an accurate and rapidly rendered 3D model may be created. In other embodiments, the system may utilize sonic technology to render the 3D model. The 3D model may define the environment and, accordingly, facilitate a robot’s movement and interactions in said environment.
[0137] In a further embodiment, the capacitance embodiment may be integrated with the robotic use case contemplated above. As a nonlimiting example, a robot may be equipped with capacitance elements, permitting 3D imaging of the robot’s surroundings. In one such embodiment, objects within the robot’s known surroundings may include capacitance elements with a known signature, such that the robot equipped with capacitance elements may discern the identity and commonality of said objects.
[0138] The development and implementation of capacitance sensing may be based upon both sides (the “receptor” and the “body”) of the measurement capability. For the purposes of this disclosure, the “receptor” may be adapted to measure the capacitance of the “body” to determine a signal strength that relates to the distance between the two entities. The present disclosure may include capacitance sensing utilizing both amplification of receptor sensitivity and specifically configured “body” devices that amplify presence to improve the perceivable range. In a further embodiment, the system may include a specific “resonance” configured to identify such “body” devices.
[0139] The capacitance sensing protocols described above allow for usage in both personal physical local usage and robotic physical local usage to determine the commonality of an object. As a nonlimiting example, the capacitance sensing protocols may be configured to determine the “nearness” of an object in a moderate range (e.g., inches to 6 to 8 feet). For the purposes of this disclosure, this procedure is referred to as general capacitance perception.
[0140] Referring to the robotic physical local usage embodiment of the capacitance sensing protocol, such a technique allows for the robotic devices to curate a map of their surroundings. Such a map may be augmented with a pier system of signaling, which may then be processed tocreate a 3D model of the environment. Such a 3D model may either be saved and modified in the client device (e.g., robot) or may be saved in sin internal environment (e.g., an intraNet environment) on a central server or a local server accessible by one or more client devices or suites.
[0141] The resultant 3D map generated via the mapping protocol discussed above may be a formative element to the robotic physical local usage. By deriving a map of its environment, the robot may be enabled to move about its environment without collision or interference. In a further embodiment, each of the robots or client devices may be programmed with a “right of way” protocol. The 3D map and the perception of the instant client device may be located in said 3D map to guide the instant client device with, what is akin to, electronic vision.
[0142] The aforementioned 3D map schema may be utilized with a special capacitance sensing configuration for robotic end-effector manipulation and other motile robotic aspects. The detail and accuracy of an underlying robotic system may be greatly enhanced as a result of the commonality detection methods described herein. As a nonlimiting example, one or more digits of a robotic arm, end-effector, or like device may be suited with one or more capacitance elements. Such a capacitance sensing protocol may allow for the device to be programed to take action (e.g., to pick up a desired item). With each digit having a capacitance element, the signals may be coordinated to generate a locally defined 3D image, that may enable the robotic device to sense an object, approach it, articulate, and interact with said object. Such computer-executable instructions may be directed to the client device through the commonality protocols discussed earlier, for example, via the structure indicated in FIG. 3. In a further embodiment, a plurality of client suites, each utilizing the aforementioned capacitance sensing methods, may exchange information, either with a central unit or across one or more neighboring units.
[0143] In any of the embodiments described above, instructions transmitted between any two suitable devices may be instructions previously encoded, for example, via a system administrator. In another embodiment, the instructions may be generated via artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms. Further, the instructions may be dynamic, such that said instructions change depending on the states or other characteristics of the underlying devices.
[0144] Any of the aforementioned embodiments may be configured for operation in a local or private infrastructure. For example, the associated information exchange and process to determine the associated information exchange may be carried out exclusively between two devices, wherein no communication is extended to the Internet, server, or cloud component. In effect, in such anexample, the data transferred between two devices is exclusively available via either of the transmitting and / or receive device. Accordingly, the associated information exchange and steps leading up to said associated information exchange may not be retrievable by any centralized server or centralized network. Such an exchange protocol may promote privacy across participating devices, free of the supervision of a server or network administrator. The associated information exchange and the data correlated with the steps leading up to said associated information exchange may be stored locally on one or more of the communicating devices. In such an embodiment, the associated information exchange may be later transmitted to a server or the Internet. Therefore, the system described herein may operate offline.
[0145] The system described herein may include the following steps or components. A form may be provided to gather information from the user or the device. Information may be transferred in JSON format to the users or devices. In one embodiment, before or during transmission of signals or data, the devices may be assessed to determine adequate power input and / or battery capacity. The connection of users and / or devices may be manifested by the commonality algorithm described herein. In different embodiments, the commonality algorithm may be common to all users / devices or may be modified for specific users / devices or classes of users / devices. For the purposes of this disclosure, a “session” may commence with the transmission and detection of local devices / users. In such an embodiment, each device may be adapted to transmits, for example, via Bluetooth, the device’s JSON packet. Signal strength may be determined based on the time sequence or other related characteristics of transmission and reception.
[0146] The commonality matching algorithm may contemplate different criteria, for example, signal strength. The signal strength may be determined and prioritized (e.g., should devices be within a “threshold”). Devices may be above such a threshold; thus, such devices are eligible for determining a “commonality”. In this senecio if the signal strength is within the threshold the received JSON packet may be compared with the onboard JSON packet (e.g., the JSON packet contained within the receiving device) to determine a match.

[0150] After a match, the system may switch transmission to WiFi transmission. At this step, after a match is declared, one or more special packets may be sent between said matched devices. Further, a history of matches may be stored on each device (e.g., including at least the identification information for each device). In a further embodiment, a display array may be created, wherein the display array may cause the indicator device or other suitable component to display, indicate, and / or transmit a certain data object or signal or a certain pattern.
[0151] In an embodiment, while a device is in display mode, for a certain period of time, all other transmissions may stop temporarily. However, in a further embodiment, the system may include a check function, wherein if the parties or devices separate the parties or devices will be deemed to no longer be engaged. Moreover, the system may include a button or other means of activation that ends the engagement, wherein such a means is available to one or more of the two parties / devices.

As a nonlimiting example, purple LED display may indicate that the user is a “Writer / Creator.” The LED lights may blink, scan, or show any other visible characteristics to indicate a particular CATegory or other variable. The indicator device may also include a name tag and / or a selected quote.
[0154] After a prescribed set time or a distancing of the parties or a selection to not engage, the system may reset, wherein history and retained data may be saved and / or transient data may be cleared. After such a procedure, the system may recommence beacon mode.
[0155] After a session is completed, a history array may be created and saved, for example, comprising the list of match experiences and associated documentation. Such a history array may be downloadable either locally to the user, to a central database, or both.
[0156] The system described herein may utilize independent local devices (e.g., a plurality of client suites) that communicate with one another, for example, embodying server functionality and client functionality. In such an embodiment, each of the plurality of client suits may be adapted to switch roles between a server role and a client role. In an embodiment, each client suite may comprise an independent component configured to act as either the “server” or the “client,” wherein said independent component can be paired to client devices (e.g., smartphones, smartwatches, and the like). In various embodiments, such devices may be “loaded” and / or programed either from a central database or from independent user control devices. As described herein, to ensure privacy at certain stages of the process, such devices may download data locally to minimize intervention from third-party entities or external networks.
[0157] In an embodiment, the system may include a centrally controlled mesh web of devices, for example, a regionally controlled mesh web of devices. In various embodiments, the system may be configured to load information and instructions and a device may follow the exact instructions and / or the instructions may be reconfigured during execution based on the status of the device or condition thereof. For example, a user may be enabled to direct a device to carry out particular instructions or download a particular data point or set.
[0158] Although the description herein contemplates algorithms to control interactivity, the system described herein may be adapted for use with any suitable third-party system. For example, the commonality matching protocol described above may be configured for use in any suitable network, with any compatible platform, and / or with any suitable device(s).

Each of the aforementioned components (the one or more control communicators or regional buoys 902, the one or more surface float communicators 904, and / or the one or more submerged communicators 906) may include a client suite or operative components of a client suite, such that each of the aforementioned components may transmitcommunications. As a nonlimiting example, the one or more control communicators or regional buoys 902, the one or more surface float communicators 904, and / or the one or more submerged communicators 906 may be configured with sensors capable of extracting information from the medium in which they are disposed (e.g., water temperature, flow rate, flow direction, tidal information, salinity, mineral composition, density, or other related metrics). Thus, as a nonlimiting example, the one or more regional buoys 902 may be in informatic communication with a subset of the one or more float communicators 904 and / or the one or more submerged communicators 906. Such an informatic communication may be fixed, wherein a fixed subset of the one or more float communicators 904 and / or the one or more submerged communicators 906 are wirelessly tethered to a particular regional buoy 902. Thus, in this instance of informatic communication, a particular regional buoy 902 may be in a fixed position along with the wirelessly tethered float communicators 902 and / or submerged communicators 906. In such an embodiment, the aforementioned components may positionally fixed (e.g., physically tethered to a riverbed or seabed or mechanically kept in an absolute position via actuated motors and propellers).

Accordingly, as the aerial drone 1006 moves in and out of proximity with a given aerial buoy 1002, communication may be initiated. Each of the aerial buoys 1002 may be positioned in fixed positions such that an aerial drone 1006 traveling on the flight path 1004, will always be within communicative distance with one or more of the aerial buoys 1002. The aerial drone 1006 may enter wireless communication with the aerial buoys 1002 as the aerial drone 1006 moves within a certain distance of said aerial buoys 1002 (e.g., via undesired movement from strong winds or via desired movement of the aerial drone 1006 traveling on the flight path 1004). In an embodiment, the aerial buoys 1002 may be physically tethered to the ground, for example, via poles cemented to the earth, via chains or rope, or via other physical tethering means.
