Abstract: A control body and cartridge that are coupleable with one another to form an aerosol delivery device are provided. The control body comprises a control component and an RFID reader contained within at least one housing. The cartridge comprises at least one heating element and an RFID tag contained within at least one housing. The RFID reader of the control body is coupled to the control component of the control body and configured to communicate with the RFID tag of the cartridge upon coupling of the control body with the cartridge. The control component of the control body is configured to authorize the cartridge for use with the control body based at least in part on communication between the RFID reader and the RFID tag.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery device comprising a control component and a communication interface is provided. The control component controls operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device in instances in which a flow of air through at least a portion of the at least one housing is detected. The communication interface is coupled to the control component and enables wireless communication. The control component further detects a predefined trigger, and automatically in response thereto, causes the communication interface to broadcast availability of the aerosol delivery device for connection with a capable wireless device. The predefined trigger includes at least one instance in which the flow of air is detected, and excludes user-actuation of any button on the aerosol delivery device.

Abstract: Methods and systems of interacting in a social media environment involving the receipt of information for a personal profile and a content item that is different than the information provided for the personal profile in which an augmented reality user interface is displayed on a mobile device of a second user. The augmented reality user interface includes a first displayable object representing the content item and overlaid upon a real world display provided by a camera element of the mobile device. The first displayable object is selectable to allow access to the second user to the content item associated with the geographic location displayed by the real world display.

Abstract: Augmented reality social media platforms and methods of managing the same in which a real-world defined area is virtually mapped to include a plurality of leasable virtual subdivisions each corresponding to a real-world subdivision of the real-world defined area. A platform may assign a virtual leasehold corresponding to a virtual subdivision of a plurality of leasable virtual subdivisions to a user of the platform. In one aspect the ability to assign a virtual leasehold to a user is based on the user's affiliation or non-affiliation with a real-world organization controlling the corresponding real-world defined area. In another aspect a virtual leasehold may be reassigned to a different virtual subdivision and/or a real-world offering associated with a virtual leasehold may be reallocated to a different virtual leasehold.
