  • Patent number: 9843351
    Abstract: A system for establishing a link from a wireless communication device (WCD) to at least one target device that is a member of a particular user group. The process of both locating the target device and establishing a link may incorporate the orientation and/or movement of the WCD into the procedure in lieu of the extensive use of traditional menu interfaces. For example, a WCD may recognize a combination of orientation and/or movement changes as a pattern for triggering activities, such as scanning for other devices. Various movement patterns may also be employed to establish a wireless link and for further interaction between users/devices in a user group.

  • Patent number: 9619138
    Abstract: An approach for enabling users to view an image of a location from different fields-of-view is described. A field-of-view generator causes a rendering of a user interface element representing a field-of-view. The field-of-view generator further processes one or more interactions with the user interface element to determine one or more parameters for specifying the field-of-view. The field-of-view generator further determines a portion of at least one panoramic image that is visible in the field-of-view based, at least in part, on the one or more parameters. Still further, the field-of-view generator causes a rendering of the portion of that at least one panoramic image.

  • Publication number: 20160234637
    Abstract: An approach is provided for determining a group of users based on the overlapping area of two or more existing groups and providing services and/or content to the group based on the services and content of the existing groups. An interaction platform determines shapes of groups based, at least in part, on location information associated with one or more member devices of the groups. The interaction platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of one or more representations of the shapes in a location-based user interface. The interaction platform determines one or more applications, one or more content items, or a combination thereof being used at the one or more member devices. The interaction platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of one or more other representations of the one or more applications, the one or more content items, or a combination thereof in the location-based user interface.
