  • Publication number: 20170193044
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for facilitating sharing information. Some embodiments can receive a set of data items that is to be analyzed for sharing, analyze the set of data items based on a first set of criteria to obtain a subset of the set of data items that is a likely candidate for sharing, and present the subset of the set of data items to a first user. Additionally, some embodiments can receive a set of users that is to be analyzed for sharing information, analyze the set of users based on a second set of criteria to obtain a subset of the set of users with whom the information is likely to be shared, and present the subset of the set of users to the first user.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9271160
    Abstract: A first device periodically transmits a first audio signal that encodes a first code over an audio channel that is shared between the first device and a second device, and the second device periodically transmits a second audio signal that encodes a second code over the audio channel. When the first device receives the second audio signal over the audio channel, the first device extracts the second code from the second audio signal and sends the second code to a server. When the second device receives the first audio signal over the audio channel, the second device extracts the first code from the first audio signal and sends the first code to the server. If the server receives the first code from the second device and/or the second code from the first device, the server can conclude that the first device is in proximity to the second device.
