Abstract

Computationally implemented methods and systems include monitoring a deployment of a privacy beacon associated with an entity, said privacy beacon configured to facilitate acquisition of one or more terms of service associated with said entity, and storing a record of the deployment of the privacy beacon associated with the entity, wherein said record is configured to be transmitted upon a particular request from a requestor entity. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

First claim

1 - 137 . (canceled)

138 . A device, comprising:
a deployment of a privacy beacon that is associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module; and a record of the deployment of the privacy beacon that is associated with the entity and that is configured to facilitate the distribution of the one or more terms of service related to the entity to the one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity, said record is configured to be transmitted in response to a request submitted by a requestor entity recording module.

139 . The device of claim 138 , wherein said deployment of a privacy beacon that is associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module comprises:
a signal that indicates activation of the privacy beacon that is associated with the entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity acquiring module.

140 . The device of claim 139 , wherein said signal that indicates activation of the privacy beacon that is associated with the entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity acquiring module comprises:
a signal that indicates entity-initiated activation of the privacy beacon that is associated with the entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity acquiring module.

141 . (canceled)

142 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 139 , wherein said signal that indicates activation of the privacy beacon that is associated with the entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity acquiring module comprises:
a signal that indicates activation of the privacy beacon that is associated with the entity and that is configured to specify a retrieval location for one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity acquiring module.

149 . (canceled)

150 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 138 , wherein said deployment of a privacy beacon that is associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module comprises:
a detection of the privacy beacon in image data, the privacy beacon associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module.

151 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 150 , wherein said detection of the privacy beacon in image data, the privacy beacon associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module comprises:
a detection of the privacy beacon in image data that is captured by an image capture device, the privacy beacon associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module.

152 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 138 , wherein said deployment of a privacy beacon that is associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module comprises:
a detection of the privacy beacon by an image capture device that is associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module.

153 . (canceled)

154 . The computationally-implemented method of claim 138 , wherein said deployment of a privacy beacon that is associated with an entity and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity monitoring module comprises:
a capture of the privacy beacon that is associated with an entity by an image capture device and that is configured to facilitate distribution of one or more terms of service related to the entity to one or more devices that encountered data related to the entity and that is configured to instruct the image capture device to prevent one or more processes on a captured image monitoring module.
