Abstract: Methods and systems for sharing content includes detecting a secondary device that is paired to a main device. The main device is used to render publicly viewable content. Each secondary device is associated with a user and is used to access and view content provided by one or more content sources over a network and share the content with the main device and with other secondary devices. Selection of a multimedia content for sharing, is detected at the secondary device. The selection causes the rendering of the multimedia content at a display screen of the secondary device. Share attributes defined for the multimedia content selected for sharing, is identified on the secondary device. The multimedia content selected for sharing is populated and is available for viewing on the main device and/or one or more secondary devices of other users in accordance to the defined share attributes.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) are presented for exchanging information between two or more devices when they are in a close proximity using gestures and web technologies. According to an embodiment, the identification of one or more devices using gestures is asynchronous, so that the two or more devices do not have to be shaken together at the same time synchronously, which is one advantage over conventional approaches. Another advantage is that various embodiments described herein do not require a user to download any special software (application), and it can work on all platforms, for example, with HTML5-compliant browsers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and computer readable medium for collaboratively detecting location. A computing device detects a client device in communication with the computing device. The computing device requests, from the client device, a location of the client device and receives this location. The computing device performs the detecting, requesting, and receiving steps for each of a plurality of client devices, where the performing occurs for a predetermined number of client devices. The computing device then determines its location from the received locations of the predetermined number of client devices.
