Abstract

Computationally implemented methods and systems include acquiring data regarding a device having a particular protected portion for which the device is configured to selectively allow access, facilitating presentation of an offer to carry out at least one service, said at least one service at least partly related to the device, in exchange for access to the particular protected portion of the device, and facilitating performance of at least a portion of the at least one service that is at least partly related to the device, in response to a grant of access to the particular protected portion 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 method, comprising:
receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a position sensor, the position sensor generating position data protected from network access by default and which can be unprotected for access upon request from one or more network services through one or more grants of permission by an end user of the personal device specifically granting position data network access to the one or more network services;
selecting at least one service at least partly related to the personal device at least partly based on the receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the indication including at least one sample of data collected by one or more sensors included as at least a part of the position data protected from network access by default, including at least matching the at least one sample of data with one or more services to determine the at least one service at least partly related to the personal device to offer to carry out;
presenting, via the network connection with the personal device, an offer to carry out the selected at least one service at least partly related to the personal device in exchange for at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default;
detecting an indication of a grant, by the end user of the personal device, of at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device;
facilitating performance of at least a portion of the at least one service at least partly related to the personal device; and
accessing, via the network connection with the personal device, the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device responsive to the detecting an indication of a grant, by the end user of the personal device, of at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device,
wherein at least one of the receiving, selecting, presenting, detecting, facilitating, or accessing is at least partially implemented using at least one processing device.

2. A system, comprising:
circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a position sensor, the position sensor generating position data protected from network access by default and which can be unprotected for access upon request from one or more network services through one or more grants of permission by an end user of the personal device specifically granting position data network access to the one or more network services;
circuitry for selecting at least one service at least partly related to the personal device at least partly based on the circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the indication including at least one sample of data collected by one or more sensors included as at least a part of the position data protected from network access by default, including at least matching the at least one sample of data with one or more services to determine the at least one service at least partly related to the personal device to offer to carry out;
circuitry for presenting, via the network connection with the personal device, an offer to carry out the selected at least one service at least partly related to the personal device in exchange for at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default;
circuitry for detecting an indication of a grant, by the end user of the personal device, of at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device;
circuitry for facilitating performance of at least a portion of the at least one service at least partly related to the personal device; and
circuitry for accessing, via the network connection with the personal device, the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device responsive to the circuitry for detecting an indication of a grant, by the end user of the personal device, of at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device.

3. The system of claim 2 ,
wherein circuitry for selecting at least one service at least partly related to the personal device at least partly based on the circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the indication including at least one sample of data collected by one or more sensors included as at least a part of the position data protected from network access by default, including at least matching the at least one sample of data with one or more services to determine the at least one service at least partly related to the personal device to offer to carry out comprises:
circuitry for selecting at least one service at least partly related to the personal device at least partly based on the circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the indication including at least one sample of data collected by one or more sensors included as at least a part of the position data protected from network access by default, including at least matching location data indicating one or more airport locations as the at least one sample of data to determine at least one flight tracking service, at least one travel planning service, or at least one weather service at least partly related to the personal device to offer to carry out.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a position sensor, the position sensor generating position data protected from network access by default and which can be unprotected for access upon request from one or more network services through one or more grants of permission by an end user of the personal device specifically granting position data network access to the one or more network services comprises:
circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a position sensor configured to collect position information to which the personal device controls network access.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a position sensor configured to collect position information to which the personal device controls network access comprises:
circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a positioning sensor configured to collect position information of the personal device for which the personal device is configured to selectively allow access via the at least one network connection to one or more network services.

6. The system of claim 2 , wherein circuitry for receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a position sensor, the position sensor generating position data protected from network access by default and which can be unprotected for access upon request from one or more network services through one or
