An "Electronic Conspicuity" tool that browses Electronically Conspicuous targets using the device's inbuilt radio transmitter and receiver, instead of browsing the internet.
So introducing a new type of browser called an Electronically Conspicuous Persona Browser™ that uses your cell-phone's built in radio transmitter and receiver to discover electronically conspicuous people and devices!
Although we are making most of the app's built-in personas available in each of their own, separate, dedicated app that is specifically designed to support each respective persona, this app is compatible with the whole suite of these individual apps and is designed to be the go-to for any user who not only wants the functionality of all of the individual apps available in a single app, but also wants the capacity to create, share, and receive, custom personas as well.
Instead of receiving web pages, a Persona Browser sends and receives personas, and Who™ Me's patent pending Persona Browser is a new and revolutionary close proximity Electronic Conspicuity tool that is designed to be the quintessential solution to real-world close-proximity problems.
It's all about everyone, and everything, having the capacity to be Electronically Conspicuous! And it's all on an opt-in basis!
Simply create one or a range of Custom Proximity Persona™ - or acquire some from those who already have them - or use one or more Well-Known Proximity Persona™ that are already built-in!
So just set up your personas for Sending and Receiving, switch on the Discovery Service, and browse what you receive on the Discovery page!
Even inanimate objects can be personified, so Electronically Conspicuous Persona Browsers are even for person-to-machine and machine-to-machine close-proximity communications, so we are excited that early adopters will very quickly catch the vision that in time, they should be able to use Persona Browsers to communicate with everything from their refrigerators to hot-air balloons that pass over on-high!
Includes a Developer's SDK at https://github.com/HeyYouWhoMe/BroadcastViewer to allow 3rd party developers to create Companion Applications to sit alongside the application and which can consume information that the Who™ Me application sends and receives.
Well-Known Proximity Personas include Emergency SOS Beacon (Beta), Drone Pilot, Drone Aircraft, FAA Compliant UAV Traffic Management (V1), FAA Compliant UAV Control Station (V1), Police Officer, Postal Worker, Paramedic, Public Wifi Access Point (Beta), Various Dating Personas, Live Stream Event, Automated External Defibrillator Location, and a host of others.
Custom Who™ Me Personas can be generated in-app, or dynamically generated on a website, and for example, made available in a ticketing website's receipt page where customers, having booked a Concert Ticket, can download them into their Who™ Me app so that when they are at the concert, all of the facilities that are included in the Personas would appear on the app's Local Proximity Discovery Map, when they are on-location.
In addition, Custom Who™ Me Personas can be assigned an expiry date so that they will automatically disappear from the app after an event has occurred.
Who™ Me requires that users accept a device's Location permission, without which it is unable to function as a real-world close-proximity tool that conveys the location of users who make their utilisation of Proximity Personas available for real-world close-proximity use.
[Android Platform Notice: Android 7.1 has a known bug and this app crashes because of it, the workaround is to not install this app on Android 7.1, or if you have it, to upgrade to Android 8.]
