SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CARD INTERACTION AND ASSIGNING CARDS TO SPACES

1 . A method for assigning card elements from an application user interface to a space, the method comprising:

presenting, by a device, a user interface, wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more card elements, and wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more spaces;

detecting, by the device, a user interface command to associate a selected card element presented by the user interface with a selected space presented by the user interface; and

outputting, by the device, a communication including an association of the selected card element with the selected space, wherein the association of the selected card with the selected space includes updating metadata for the card element.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes the graphical elements for the one or more spaces in one portion of the user interface and the graphical elements for the one or more cards elements in a second portion of the user interface.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each card element includes graphical display elements in the user interface configured to be manipulated within the user interface to allow for at least one of exchange of data, capabilities, and device control.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface command includes selection and movement of a graphical element for the selected card from a first position in user interface to a second position associated with display of the selected space.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaces refer to physical locations.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaces include virtual locations.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein association of the card element includes transmission of card element metadata to the space.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein updating metadata includes storing a unique identifier of the space with the card element metadata.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that assignment of the selected card element to the selected space conforms to at least one of capabilities of the space and card element constraints.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface continues to display the selected card element in the user interface following assignment to the selected space.

11 . A device comprising:

a display configured to present a user interface; and

a controller coupled to the display wherein the controller is configured to

present a user interface, wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more card elements, and wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more spaces;

detect a user interface command to associate a selected card element presented by the user interface with a selected space presented by the user interface;

output a communication including an association of the selected card element with the selected space, wherein the association of the selected card with the selected space includes updating metadata for the card element.

12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the user interface includes the graphical elements for the one or more spaces in one portion of the user interface and the graphical elements for the one or more card elements in a second portion of the user interface.

13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein each card element includes graphical display elements in the user interface configured to be manipulated within the user interface to allow for at least one of exchange of data, capabilities, and device control.

14 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the user interface command includes selection and movement of a graphical element for the selected card from a first position in user interface to a second position associated with display of the selected space.

15 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more spaces refer to physical locations.

16 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more spaces include virtual locations.

17 . The device of claim 11 , wherein association of the card element includes transmission of card element metadata to the space.

18 . The device of claim 11 , wherein updating metadata includes storing a unique identifier of the space with the card element metadata.

19 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine that assignment of the selected card element to the selected space conforms to at least one of capabilities of the space and card element constraints.

20 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the user interface continues to display the selected card element in the user interface following assignment to the selected space.

21 . A system comprising:

a server; and

a device configured to communicate with the server, wherein the device is configured to

presenting a user interface, wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more card elements, and wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more spaces;

detecting a user interface command to associate a selected card element presented by the user interface with a selected space presented by the user interface;

outputting a communication to the server including an association of the selected card element with the selected space, wherein the association of the selected card with the selected space includes updating metadata for the card element.
