主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a computer implemented content controller; and an assembly including a holder attached to the apparatus to hold a device identifiable by an identifier (ID) that uniquely identifies the device, the device ID retrievable from the device through an application interface executing on the device and the holder of the device identifiable as physical location information in a geographic and/or area location for the device; wherein the content controller is configured to:
obtain the device ID by interfacing with the application interface executing on the device over a communication link between the device and the content controller to request the ID of the device, responsive to an event detected in connection with presence of the device determined based upon the holder of the device,retrieve information related to the device responsive to the presence event determined based upon the holder of the device, the retrieved information related to the device determined according to a combination of the device ID obtained from the device and the holder of the device indicative of the physical location information in the geographic and/or area location for the device, thereby influencing by the device ID and the holder of the device the information retrieval triggered by the device presence according to the holder of the device; andoutput the information related to the device to a mobile device communicationally linked to the content controller.
