  • Patent number: 10437830
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the identification of one or more media files stored on respective ones of a plurality of user devices. In the context of a method, a current context is determined. The method also automatically identifies one or more media files stored on respective ones of a plurality of user devices based upon a relationship between a context associated with the respective media file and the current context. The method also causes the one or more media files to be transferred to an output device for presentation. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9582436
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described for allowing rules that are applied to one device to be applied to another device based on a user's interaction with only the devices. A rule-copy action, such as simultaneous shaking of the two devices, proximity of the two devices to each other, and/or the relative positions of the two devices, may be detected at one of the devices (e.g., a first device to which the user desires the rules or a copy of the rules to apply). In response to the rule-copy action, another device (e.g., a second device configured to operate according to the at least one rule) may be identified. The at least one rule may then be caused to be applied to the first device in response to detection of the rule-copy action, so as to configure the first device to operate according to the at least one rule.

  • Publication number: 20170017481
    Abstract: A method comprising receiving motion information indicative of an input gesture by way of at least one motion sensor comprised by the apparatus, determining that the input gesture is a firmware update gesture, the firmware update gesture being indicative of a directive to update a firmware of the apparatus, sending a firmware download request to a separate apparatus based, at least in part, on determining that the input gesture is the firmware update gesture, receiving firmware update information from the separate apparatus based, at least in part, on the firmware download request, and updating the firmware of the apparatus based, at least in part, on the firmware update information is disclosed.
