Virtual communication techniques

摘要

Techniques for facilitating communication are provided. The techniques include using a machine-to-machine communication to facilitate communication between one or more human users of a communicator device and a compatible communicator device, wherein using the machine-to-machine communication to facilitate communication between one or more human users comprises initiating a machine-to-machine communication with a compatible communicator device if the device is within the geographic proximity, wherein the machine-to-machine communication incorporates one or more related items from a user profile of each device automatically extracted by the device initiating the machine-to-machine communication, and conducting the machine-to-machine communication in a manner in which the communication can be monitored by the one or more human users.

主权项

1. A method for facilitating communication, wherein the method comprises:
using a machine-to-machine communication to facilitate communication between one or more human users of a communicator device and one or more human users of a compatible communicator device, wherein using the machine-to-machine communication to facilitate communication between the human users comprises:
initiating a machine-to-machine communication with a compatible communicator device if the compatible communicator device is within the geographic proximity, wherein the machine-to-machine communication incorporates one or more related items from a user profile of each device automatically extracted by the device initiating the machine-to-machine communication; andconducting the machine-to-machine communication in a manner in which the communication can be monitored by the human users, wherein said machine-to-machine communication is conducted aloud so as to be audible to the human users, and wherein said machine-to-machine communication is conducted without being prompted to exchange information via an input; and incrementally stopping the machine-to-machine communication upon determining that the human users are communicating, wherein said incrementally stopping the machine-to-machine communication comprises conducting the machine-to-machine communication with pre-determined multiple increments of non-communication that increase in duration length until the machine-to-machine communication reaches a pre-determined stopping point, and wherein said determining comprises identifying audible communication between the human users, via an audio sensor, that comprises a given number of words per minute.
