Abstract

Computationally implemented methods and systems include identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of a device, said identifying at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device, requesting access to data collected by one or more portions of the device, in exchange for providing at least a portion of one of the one or more identified services, and providing at least a portion of the one or more services after receiving access to the data collectable by one or more portions of the device. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computationally-implemented method, comprising:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of a device, said identifying at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device;
requesting access to data collected by one or more portions of the device, in exchange for providing at least a portion of one of the one or more identified services; and
providing at least a portion of the one or more services after receiving access to the data collected or collectable by one or more portions of the device.

2. The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of a device, said identifying at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device comprises:
identifying a service configured to present a notification when one or more entities listed in the device's contact list are within a particular proximity to the user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device.

3. The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of a device, said identifying at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which at least a portion of the device has limited or no access.

4. The computationally-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which at least a portion of the device has limited or no access comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on a device to which at least one application of the device has limited or no access.

5. The computationally-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which at least a portion of the device has limited or no access comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which an operating system of the device has limited or no access.

6. The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of a device, said identifying at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which one or more entities external to the device have limited or no access.

7. The computationally-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which one or more entities external to the device have limited or no access comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which a provider of a communication network on which the device is configured to communicate has limited or no access.

8. The computationally-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which one or more entities external to the device have limited or no access comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which the device manufacturer has limited or no access.

9. The computationally-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which one or more entities external to the device have limited or no access comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which a producer of one or more applications configured to be executed by the device has limited or no access.

10. The computationally-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which a producer of one or more applications configured to be executed by the device has limited or no access comprises:
identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of the device, said identifying at least partly based on data stored on the device to which a producer of an operating system configured to be executed by the device has limited or no access.

11. The computationally-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein said identifying one or more services configured to be provided to a user of a device, said identifying at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device comprises:
selecting a service, from one or more available services, said selected service configured to be provided to a user of a device, said selecting at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device.

12. The computationally-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein said selecting a service, from one or more available services, said selected service configured to be provided to a user of a device, said selecting at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device comprises:
selecting a service, from one or more available services collected from one or more service providers, said selected service configured to be provided to a user of a device, said selecting at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device.

13. The computationally-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein said selecting a service, from one or more available services collected from one or more service providers, said selected service configured to be provided to a user of a device, said selecting at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device comprises:
selecting a service, from one or more available services collected from two or more discrete service providers, said selected service configured to be provided to a user of a device, said selecting at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device.

14. The computationally-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein said selecting a service, from one or more available services collected from two or more discrete service providers, said selected service configured to be provided to a user of a device, said selecting at least partly based on data regarding one or more properties of the device comprises:
selecting a service, from one or more available services collected from a plurality of discrete service providers, said selected service configured to be provided to a user of a device, said selecting at least partly based on data regarding one
