The various implementations described herein include methods, systems, and devices for Augmented Reality (AR) based messaging. In one aspect, a method includes processing a user request to create and place an avatar (e.g., a virtual representation of a user) at a user-specified location. In another aspect, a system manages placement of avatars at various geo locations, allows users to interact with avatars, and manages avatar-avatar interactions with or without user controls. In yet another aspect, a device is provided allowing a user to create, manage, and view avatar-based tags. Additionally, various user interfaces are provided to support the user to create, manage, and view avatars.

The present application relates to the technical field of computers, and provides a user request response method, a user request response apparatus, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device. The user request response method comprises: upon the reception of a user request sent from a first-type terminal, sending reminder messages to a plurality of second-type terminals according to the user request; receiving message receipts for the reminder messages within a preset time period; selecting a target message receipt from among the message receipts according to a preset rule; and using the second-type terminal corresponding to the target message receipt as a target second-type terminal and determining to respond to the user request according to the target second-type terminal.

An embodiment of a mobile communication system includes a plurality of mobile units operating within a defined operating area, each of the mobile units having a processor, a memory for storing a mobile unit file structure, an application running on the processor for operating on the mobile unit file structure, and a receiver for receiving on a common receive communication channel data. The mobile communication system further includes a plurality of geolocation markers disposed within the defined operating area, each having a memory for storing geolocation information to define a relative position within the defined operating area, and a geolocation transmitter for transmitting the defined geolocation information on the common receive communication channel, the geolocation transmitter having a geolocation transmit range less than the defined operating area.

A head-mounted device (HMD) of a first user has a transparent display. The HMD determines location information of a second user relative to the HMD of the first user. The second user is located within a predefined distance of the HMD. The location information identifies a distance and a direction of the second user relative to the HMD. The HMD receives audio content from the second user, generates augmented reality (AR) content based on the audio content, and displays the AR content in the transparent display based on the location information of the second user. The AR content appears coupled to the second user.

An information processing apparatus capable of accurately specifying identification information whose users are the same user regardless of information registered by users is provided. The information processing apparatus may include at least one memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire positional information associated with at least one piece of related identification information related to each of a plurality of pieces of identification information for identifying users in a communication service; specify hierarchized positional information indicating positional information hierarchized in accordance with a granularity level of a position based on the positional information; calculate a similarity between pieces of identification information using the hierarchized positional information; and specify the pieces of identification information belonging to the same user from among the plurality of pieces of identification information based on the calculated similarity.

A natural-language voice chatbot engages a consumer in a voice dialogue. The chatbot is customized for engaging the specific consumer based on features and characteristics of that specific consumer’s speech and a lexicon associated with terms, words, and commands for item ordering. The consumer can perform voice queries for specific items and/or specific establishments for placing a pre-staged order with the chatbot. Once the consumer selects options with a specific establishment, a pre-staged order is provided to the corresponding establishment on behalf of the user. Location data for a consumer-operated device is monitored and when it is determined that the consumer will arrive at the establishment within a time period required by the establishment to prepare the pre-staged order, a message is sent to the establishment to begin preparing the pre-staged order.

A method for space time region based communications in a data communication network is disclosed. The method includes performing an initial assignment of bubble data, the bubble data including a bubble spatio temporal information data representing a volume of space time, the bubble data further including a content data thereby assigned to the spatio temporal information data; providing a spatio temporal coordinate data associated with at least one user of the data communication network, determining if the spatio temporal coordinate data is deemed to be within the volume of space time represented by the bubble spatio temporal information data, and granting access to the content data to the at least one user of the data communication network if the spatio temporal coordinate data is determined to be deemed to be within the volume of space time represented by the bubble spatio temporal information data.
