  • Patent number: 10757532
    Abstract: There is disclosed herein a non-volatile machine-readable medium storing a program, a system and method for enabling proximity-based, peer-to-peer sharing of media in which a first device having a wireless communication surrounding the device detects other wireless devices within the region. Communication connections are formed between the wireless devices and a list of the authenticated connections is maintained. Without input from a user, media is shared between the individual devices on the authenticated connections list and a remote server, subject to permissions pre-set by the individual devices. Devices not included in the list of authenticated connections are blocked from accessing the media. Access to the media is available for a period of time, after which time access to the media is blocked for all devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10091317
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for proximity-based content sharing on wireless devices is presented in which a first device having a wireless communication region surrounding the device detects other wireless devices within the region. Communication connections are formed between the wireless devices. In response to a user action data is pushed from the wireless device to other wireless devices in the region. Communication connections can also be formed between devices in the region and devices outside the region and data may be pushed to the devices outside the region. Users can block other devices either within the region or outside the region so that they do not receive pushed data.
