  • Patent number: 8892653
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. Tuning parameters are pushed to a first user device operated by a first user the tuning parameters specifying weights and/or functions to be applied to data from one or more sensors on the first user device. Tuned data is received from the first user device, the tuned data representing data from the one or more sensors that has been tuned in accordance with the tuning parameters. Then potential membership of the first user in a first group of users is determined based on logical relationship information, by selecting the first group from a plurality of possible groups, the selecting being based on scores generated, for each of the plurality of possible groups, by a candidate scorer module using the tuned data.

  • Patent number: 8886807
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of content sharing via social networking are presented. In one example, availability of a first user device to provide media content over a communication network is detected. A second user device is identified via an association of the first user device with the second user device that is specified in a social network. An acceptance by the second user device to receive the media content from the first user device is determined. In response to the acceptance, transmission of the media content provided by the first user device over the communication network to the second user device is initiated.

  • Patent number: 8880609
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. Logical relationship information describing one-to-one logical relationships among a first user and other users are recorded. Then content from a first user device of the first user and content from a second user device of the second user are received. Based on a determination that the content from the first user device and the content from the second user device were received within a preset amount of time of each other, a first user group in which to add the first user and the second user is created. Then it is determined whether to remove the first or second user from the first user group based on the logical relationship information and the content.

  • Patent number: 8868739
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. First, logical relationship information can be recorded, the logical relationship information describing logical relationships between a first user and other users, the logical relationship information associated with a social networking service. Communications between the first user and the other users, the communications being of at least two different types of communications, may be monitored.

  • Publication number: 20140214949
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. In one example, logical relationship information between a first user and other users are recorded. Communications between the first users and other users are monitored, and content is received from the first user, the content having associated metadata. A first group to add the first user to is determined based on the logical relationship information, the communications, the content, and the metadata.

  • Publication number: 20140214952
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. In one example, a message received at a user device from a server system, the message indicating that a user of the user device has been added to a logical group of users. Then content may be transmitted from the user device to the server system for distribution to the logical group of users. Then, in response to determination that the user device has been out of communication with the server system for a predetermined period of time a determination is made, utilizing a coasting module on the user device, that the user should be removed from the logical group of users based on a factor other than a length of time the user device has been out of communication with the server system.

  • Publication number: 20140214954
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. In one example, a message including location information indicating a geographic location of a first user device is received from the first user device. Values representing logical connection strengths between the first user device and other user devices are calculated using the location information. A first device group is determined for the first user device based on the calculating of the values representing the logical connection strengths, the first device group including a plurality of the other user devices.

  • Publication number: 20140214953
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adding a first user to a first group of users are presented. First, logical relationship information describing logical relationships among a plurality of users is accessed. Then potential membership of a first user in a first group of users is determined based on the logical relationship information, by selecting the first group from a plurality of possible groups, the selecting being based on scores generated, for each of the plurality of possible groups, by a candidate scorer module, the scores based at least partially on a loneliness score for the first user. Then the first user is added to the first group of users.
