Abstract

A wave device is disclosed. The wave device may include one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to receive a unique identifier associated with a community and generate a communication including the unique identifier associated with the community and enabling a second wave device to join the community. The one or more processors may be further configured to transmit the communication to the second wave device based on geographic proximity to the second wave device, and share information with the second wave device based on the second wave device joining the community.

Claims (37)

1. A first wave device, comprising:

one or more memory devices storing instructions and a first unique identifier profile associated with the first wave device; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:

receive a unique identifier associated with a community;

generate, based on the first unique identifier profile, a communication enabling a second wave device to join the community by including the unique identifier associated with the community, a unique identifier associated with the first wave device, and executable program instructions to join the community;

transmit the communication to the second wave device based on a geographic proximity to the second wave device;

receive a unique identifier associated with the second wave device;

store, in a payload of a message, the received unique identifier associated with the community and the unique identifier associated with the second wave device;

share information with the second wave device based on the unique identifier associated with the second wave device joining the community, wherein the shared information comprises program instructions executable on the second wave device; and

deactivate, by removing from the payload, the unique identifier associated with the community based on relevance factors, wherein the relevance factors include an expiration of a time period.

2. The first wave device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to:

receive a request to generate the community; and

transmit the request to generate the community to a data collection device.

3. The first wave device of claim 2 , wherein the unique identifier associated with the community is received from the data collection device.

4. The first wave device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to receive information from the second wave device.

5. The first wave device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to receive the information from the second wave device through a data collection device.

6. The first wave device of claim 1 , wherein the community is associated with an event.

7. The first wave device of claim 6 , wherein the event is associated with a plurality of people within a geographic proximity to each other.

8. The first wave device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to remove the unique identifier associated with the community from the first wave device based on an expiration time and a location of the first wave device.

9. The first wave device of claim 1 , wherein the first wave device and second wave device are mobile devices.

10. A wave device, comprising:

one or more memory devices storing instructions and a unique identifier profile associated with the wave device; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:

receive a first set of executable program instructions and a unique identifier associated with a community from a second wave device based on geographic proximity to the second wave device and the unique identifier profile;

transmit the first set of executable program instructions and the unique identifier associated with the community to a data collection device;

receive information, including a second set of executable program instructions, associated with the community from the data collection device, the information including an invitation to join the community;

store, in a payload of a message, the received unique identifier associated with the community, the received invitation, and the first and second set of executable program instructions;

share information with the second wave device; and

deactivate, by removing from the payload, the invitation based on relevance factors, wherein the relevance factors include an expiration of a time period.

11. The wave device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to transmit a notification to the data collection device, the notification including a request to join the community.

12. The wave device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to transmit a notification to the data collection device, the notification including a request to merge the community with an existing community.

13. The wave device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to transmit the unique identifier to a third wave device.

14. The wave device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to transmit the first and second set of executable program instructions to the third wave device based on proximity to the third wave device.

15. The first wave device of claim 1 , wherein the communication shared from the first wave device further includes textual data, image data, video data, or audio data.

16. The first wave device of claim 4 , wherein the first wave device receives executable data from the second wave device.

17. The first wave device of claim 1 , wherein the communication shared from the first wave device further includes advertisements or promotions.

18. The wave device of claim 10 , wherein the received information further includes advertisements or promotions.
