  • Publication number: 20150074047
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an automated multi-device login synchronization function. For example, a private computing device, such as a smartphone or table computer, can detect a shareable device, such as a television set top box or video game consul, when the private device enters a room. In one example, the private device can determine whether the shareable device is currently associated with one or more user profiles. If the shareable device is not associated with a user profile, a command can be sent, by the private device to apply user settings and/or preferences for, and make content associated with, a user profile associated with the private computing device available on the shareable device. If, however, the shareable device is associated with a second user profile, a similar command can be sent causing the shareable device to merge the first and second user profiles to create a merged profile.
