Abstract: An approach is provided for providing identification based on a multimedia signature. An indication platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more device events to determine one or more participants, one or more participant devices, or a combination thereof. The indication platform further causes, at least in part, an association of one or more multimedia signatures with the one or more device events, the one or more participants, the one or more participant devices, or a combination thereof. The indication platform also determines to identify the one or more device events, the one or more participants, the one or more participant devices, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the association.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing shared path connectivity among devices. A connection sharing platform determines to specify at least one group of devices, the at least one group including at least a first path to establish a network connection and a second path to establish a local connection among the devices. The connection sharing platform also determines to cause at least in part an activation of one or more of the devices to establish the network connection, wherein one or more unactivated devices share the network connection over the local connection.

Abstract: An approach is provided for utilizing context and profile information in content searching and recommending while in an offline mode. A searching/recommending module on a first device determines a content item, an information item, or a combination thereof available on another device. The searching/recommending module on the first device or the other device determines a profile associated with the other device. The searching/recommending module on the first device or the other device makes a comparison of the profile associated with the other device with a profile associated with the first device. The first device causes a request for a content item, an information item, or a combination thereof available on the other device based, at least in part, on the comparison.

Abstract: An example approach is provided for distributing content among user devices while in an offline mode. In the approach, a distributing/requesting module causes determination of one or more requests from at least one requesting device for one or more content items associated with at least one distributing device, wherein the one or more requests are determined using local connectivity between the at least one requesting device and the at least one distributing device. Further, distributing/requesting module causes an exchange, a storage, or a combination thereof of transactional information associated with the one or more requests, a delivery of the one or more content items, or a combination thereof of in an offline mode. Furthermore, the distributing/requesting module causes a transmission of the transactional information to at least one server when in an online mode.
