Abstract: Embodiments of techniques and systems for sharing user information between proximate devices are described. In embodiments, a first device may identify a physically-proximate device that may receive user information. Upon receiving an indication that a user of the first device may desire to share user information with a user of the second device, a determination may be made as to whether the two users have matching interests. In embodiments, the interest match determination may be made by a separate interest match evaluator. Upon determination of an interest match, the first device may then send a request to share user information to the second device. If a user of the second device approves the request, user information for the user of the first device may be shared with the user of the second device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies are presented that provide collaborative context-based user tracking and communications. A method of tracking communication options may include receiving, from one or more user devices of a user, user proximity information that indicates whether the user is in proximity of the one or more user devices; receiving, from the user devices, tracking loss warnings that indicate that loss of capabilities to track the user by respective user devices may be imminent; receiving, from the user devices, secondary device proximity information that indicates whether the user device is in proximity of one or more secondary devices; and receiving, from the secondary devices, additional user proximity information that indicates whether the user is in proximity of the one or more secondary devices. The method may further include dynamically determining from the received information which of the user devices and secondary devices are able to provide communications to the user.
