Abstract: A system and method for seamless exchange and interaction of multimedia content between communication devices in a network are disclosed. The method can include the discovery and identification of devices within proximity of a sending device. The found devices can be authenticated through unique identifiers established during registration. Connection requirements can be determined based on the identifiers associated with the found devices and the sending device. In turn, the sender can establish a connection with the found devices using the connection requirements. The sending device can share or serve as a remote control to redirect and navigate the content, with a simple action or a gesture command, to the found device. The shared multimedia content, can either reside on the sender's mobile device or on a remote server within a connected network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for performing out-of-band discovery of service definitions to enable a central computing device to interact with one or more peripheral devices. For example, systems disclosed herein include retrieving a hash value for a peripheral device representative of a set of service attributes associated with the peripheral device. Based on the hash value, the systems disclosed herein can identify a service database entry including service definitions that enable the central computing device to interact with the peripheral devices. Using the service definitions, the central computing device can interact with any peripheral device that shares the same set of service attributes as the peripheral device.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a trunk for an all-terrain vehicle comprising a hollow base defining a storage space, one removable lid partially connectable to the hollow base and movable between a closed position in which the storage space is covered, and an opened position for providing access to the storage space, the removable lid being removably connected to the hollow base via a dismantlable hinge comprising a hinge pin selectively connecting a portion of the removable lid with a portion of the hollow base, the dismantlable hinge being dismantlable when said the removable lid is in its opened position, the trunk further comprising a blocking device preventing dismantling of the dismantlable hinge when the removable lid is in its closed position. The disclosure also concerns a method for removing a removable lid covering a storage space defined by a hollow base of a trunk.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for publishing, discovering, connecting with and activating services in a peer-to-peer environment. Services available in association with a first computing device are determined and encoded with instructions for accessing and understanding such services via their respective activation protocols. The encoded services are published via a publication protocol such that they are discoverable by at least a second computing device, irrespective of whether such services may be activated via the publication protocol. The second computing device discovers the available services via the publication protocol and accesses and understands the instructions associated with a desired service. Upon receipt of a request from the second computing device, via the activation protocol, to activate the requested service, the requested service is activated by the first computing device.

Abstract: The description relates to device pairing. One example can involve a computing device (e.g., companion device) and a stylus. The companion device can have a display and be configured to communicate in accordance with a wireless protocol. The stylus can be configured to transmit proximity information to the computing device when a user brings a tip of the stylus proximate to the display and be configured to supply wireless protocol identification information with the proximity information. The computing device can be configured to pair with the stylus over the wireless protocol using the wireless protocol identification information without requiring any additional action from the user on the computing device or the stylus.

The found devices can be authenticated through unique identifiers established during registration. The sender can seamlessly establish a connection with the found devices using the connection requirements. The sending device can share or serve as a remote control to redirect, navigate or draw content, with a simple action or a gesture command, to the found device. The shared multimedia content, can either reside on the sender's mobile device or on a remote server within a connected network. Contextual telephony integration such as pulling in personal contacts from a device to a conference call can be provided. White boarding techniques facilitated among multiple users within a conference and a WiFi® end point or access point are described.
