Abstract: A first user of a first device transmits information to a second user of a second device located within a predetermined distance from the first device, wherein an ad-hoc network is formed from the first device and the second device. In response to determining that the information is likely to be of interest to other users, the information is propagated from the second user of the second device, to a third user of a third device within the predetermined distance from the second device, and the third device is included in the ad-hoc network.

Abstract: A container agent executing on the mobile device receives a container from a container manager server in response to the mobile device being within the predetermined proximity of the physical location. The container comprises instructions that modify the original functionality of the mobile device. The container agent monitors operation of the mobile device to determine if the operation satisfies a triggering condition for execution of the container, and if so, executes the container. In response to the mobile device leaving the predetermined proximity of the physical location, the container agent removes the container from the mobile device and restores the original functionality of the mobile device.
