  • Publication number: 20180124549
    Abstract: A method is provided for establishing a dynamic, proximity-based group of wireless communication devices to support potential interaction between a user of a first wireless communication device and one or more users of the wireless communication devices in the dynamic, proximity-based group. In the method, the first wireless communication device sends a short-range wireless beacon broadcast message to other wireless communication devices in a proximity zone around the first wireless communication device. The short-range wireless beacon broadcast message is adapted for requesting the other wireless communication devices to send a response message to a server. The server registers responding devices among the other wireless communication devices.

  • Patent number: 9930506
    Abstract: A communication device (100) comprising a controller (210), a radio frequency interface (230) and a memory (240), wherein the controller is configured to identify at least one receiving communication device (100B, 100C); present content (510); receive one user input (U) indicating a share; and share the content (510) with the at least one receiving communication device (100B, 100C) through the sharing network over the radio frequency interface (230); wherein the communication device (100) is characterized in that the controller (210) is further configured to identify the receiving communication device (100B, 100C) by the controller (210) being configured to detect a presence of the receiving communication device (100B, 100C) being in close proximity and then initiate a connection with the at least one receiving communication device (100B, 100C) and wherein the controller is configured to share content upon initiating the connection thereby establishing a sharing network (400) automatically.

  • Publication number: 20170086035
    Abstract: This application relates to an improved manner of establishing or identifying a subgroup of users, which users belong to a larger group, and each user having a computing device, by providing a network comprising a first and a second computing device. The first computing device being configured to send out a detectable signal and the second computing device being configured to register said signal whereby a computing device subgroup is established comprising said first computing device and said second computing device.
