Abstract

Claims (57)

1 . A device comprising:

processing circuitry coupled to at least one memory;

a display screen coupled to the processing circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:

receive, via a wireless connection, content data;

receive, via the wireless connection, an instruction comprising an indication to display the content data;

display the content data on the display screen;

access first location data;

access second location data after accessing the first location data;

determine the first location data indicates to stop displaying the content data based on difference between the first location data and the second location data; and

in response to the first location data indicating to stop displaying the content data, stop displaying the content data.

2 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

first wireless circuitry coupled; and

second wireless circuitry, wherein the instruction is received via the first wireless circuitry and the content data is received via the second wireless circuitry, and wherein the first wireless circuitry is lower-power wireless circuitry and the second wireless circuitry is higher-power wireless circuitry.

3 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the device is a first device, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

in response to the indication to display content data, establish, using the second wireless circuitry, a higher-power wireless connection with a second device, and receive the content data from the second device via the higher-power wireless connection.

4 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

establish, using the second wireless circuitry, a lower-power connection; and

receive, via the lower-power connection, the instruction.

5 . The device of claim 4 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

in response to a failure to establish the higher-power wireless connection, power down the higher-power wireless circuitry, and receive the content data using the first wireless circuitry.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the instruction is a first instruction, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

in response to receiving a second instruction, the second instruction indicating to stop displaying the content data, stop displaying the content data.

7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

stop displaying the content data after a fixed period of time.

8 . The device of claim 1 , the device is a first device, the instruction is received from a second device, and the processing circuitry is further configured to:

access second location data generated by the first device; and

send, to the second device via a lower-power wireless connection, the second location data.

9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the second device is a client device, and the first device is a mixed reality wearable device.

10 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the content data comprises visual direction information.

11 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the visual direction information further comprises an indication of a geographic location.

12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the determine the first location data indicates to stop displaying the content data is further based on comparing the geographic location with the first location data.

13 . The device of claim 11 , and wherein the indication to display content data indicates the device is within a predetermined distance before a location associated with the content data.

14 . The device of claim 13 , the device is a first device, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine a second location of the first device; and

send the second location to a second device, and wherein the receive is in response to sending the second location to the second device.

15 . A method comprising:

receiving, via a wireless connection, content data;

receiving, via the wireless connection, an instruction comprising an indication to display the content data;

displaying the content data on a display;

accessing first location data;

accessing second location data after accessing the first location data;

determining the first location data indicates to stop displaying the content data based on difference between the first location data and the second location data; and

in response to the first location data indicating to stop displaying the content data, stop displaying the content data.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the instruction is received via first wireless circuitry and the content data is received via second wireless circuitry, and wherein the first wireless circuitry is lower-power wireless circuitry and the second wireless circuitry is higher-power wireless circuitry.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

in response to the indication to display content data, establish, using the second wireless circuitry, a higher-power wireless connection with a second device, and receive the content data from the second device via the higher-power wireless connection.

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, via a wireless connection, content data;

receiving, via the wireless connection, an instruction comprising an indication to display the content data;

displaying the content data on a display;

accessing first location data;

accessing second location data after accessing the first location data;

determining the first location data indicates to stop displaying the content data based on difference between the first location data and the second location data; and

in response to the first location data indicating to stop displaying the content data, stop displaying the content data.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the instruction is received via first wireless circuitry and the content data is received via second wireless circuitry, and wherein the first wireless circuitry is lower-power wireless circuitry and the second wireless circuitry is higher-power wireless circuitry.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , further comprising:

in response to the indication to display content data, establish, using the second wireless circuitry, a higher-power wireless connection with a second device, and receive the content data from the second device via the higher-power wireless connection.
