Abstract: A wayfinding system comprising: a first device comprising at least one sensor for sensing a spatial environment to generate a first map, said a first device positioned in a first position in said spatial environment; a second device for receiving signals from said first device to determine a relative position of said second device within said spatial environment; and wherein on said second device said relative position is used in conjunction with said first map to provide turn-by-turn navigation within said spatial environment.

Abstract: A transponder for sensing a spatial environment for the purposes of creating a local map model of said spatial environment, said transponder comprising: a microprocessor; at least one sensor for scanning said spatial environment and acquiring sensing information about said spatial environment; a memory having instructions executable by said microprocessor to cause the microprocessor to process said sensing information to: determine distance measurements between said transponder and features within said spatial environment; and generate said local map model; a communications interface module coupled to said microprocessor for enabling communication with a first computing device to send said local map model thereto and for enabling communication with a second computing device for using said local map model to navigate said spatial environment.

Abstract: A method for generating a routable map of a spatial environment, the method comprising the steps of: positioning a transponder in a location within said spatial environment at least one sensor; associating at least one sensor with said transponder, said at least one sensor being rotatable in at least one plane; measuring distances within said spatial environment with said at least one sensor relative to said location; and composing a local map model of spatial environment based on said measurements.

Abstract: A system and method for a graphical user interface having recommendations. The method includes accessing, within a mobile device, a data store corresponding to a multimedia container. The multimedia container comprises a first object and a second object and the data store comprises metadata associated with the first object and the second object. The method further includes sending the metadata associated with the first object and the second object and receiving a data structure corresponding to a plurality of items. The data structure comprises a respective image and a respective location for each of the plurality of items. The plurality of items is related to the first object and the second object based on the metadata associated with the first object and the second object. The method further includes displaying, on the mobile device, each respective image for each of the plurality of items. Each respective image is operable to be selected.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing profiles for electronic content. The methods and systems may involve profiles for a plurality of electronic content items. If a user interaction with an electronic content item of the plurality of electronic content items meets an event definition, the user interaction may be identified as an event associated with the electronic content and recorded in the profile.

Abstract: Systems and methods of managing a profile of a user of at least one device having access to electronic content. The systems and methods may involve receiving a user identifier for a user of at least one device configured to access electronic content; storing a profile of the user in a memory, where the profile of the user comprises the user identifier; if a user activity meets at least one event definition, identifying the user activity as an event; receiving data associated with the event; and recording at least a portion of the data associated with the event in the profile of the user.
