| 20130238739 | USER DEVICE GROUP FORMATION - 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. | 09-12-2013 |
| 20130212232 | CONTENT SHARING VIA SOCIAL NETWORKING - 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. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20130073624 | CONTENT SHARING USING NOTIFICATION WITHIN A SOCIAL NETWORKING ENVIRONMENT - Example systems and methods of content sharing using notification within a social networking environment are presented. In one example, an indication is received from a first user device associated with a first user, the indication indicating that the first user device is available for supplying media content over a communication network. Social network information regarding the first user is retrieved. A second user of a second user device is identified based on an association between the first user and the second user according to the social network information. The second user device is notified of the availability of the first user device for the supplying of the media content. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20130073623 | LIVE CONTENT SHARING WITHIN A SOCIAL NETWORKING ENVIRONMENT - Example systems and methods of content sharing within a social networking environment are presented. In one example, a first user device that is available to provide live media content is detected. A second user related to a first user of the first user device is identified within a social network. A notification of the availability of the first user device is transmitted to a second user device being operated by the second user. The notification is presented within a social networking website of the social network. In response to the notification, a request to receive the live media content is received from the second user device. In response to the request, transmission of the live media content provided by the first user device to the second user device is initiated, the live media content being presented within the social networking website. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20130073622 | CONTENT SHARING VIA SOCIAL NETWORKING - 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. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20120246267 | SHARING CONTENT AMONG A GROUP OF DEVICES - Systems and methods for the sharing of content among user devices of a device group are presented. In one example, content generated in a first user device is received from the first user device. A device group to which the first user device was associated when the first user device generated the content is determined. The device group, which includes a plurality of user devices, is determined based on at least one logical relationship between the first user device and the plurality of user devices. The received content is transmitted to the plurality of user devices of the device group. | 09-27-2012 |
| 20120246266 | SHARING CONTENT AMONG MULTIPLE DEVICES - Systems and methods for the distribution of content among user devices of a device group are presented. In one example, logical relationship information describing logical relationships between user devices is accessed. Membership in a device group of a plurality of the user devices is determined based on the logical relationship information. Content from at least one of the user devices of the device group is received over a communication network. The received content is forwarded over the communication network to the other user devices of the device group. | 09-27-2012 |
| 20120246244 | USER DEVICE GROUP FORMATION - 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. | 09-27-2012 |
| 20120221639 | STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF CONTENT FOR A USER DEVICE GROUP - Systems and methods for the storage and distribution of content for user device groups are presented. In one example, a device group including a plurality of user devices is defined based on logical relationships among the plurality of user devices. A group data structure corresponding to the device group is stored in a data storage device, the group data structure including a parent data structure. An item of content is received from a first user device of the device group and stored in the data storage device as a child data structure of the parent data structure. The item of content is transmitted to other user devices of the device group based on the item of content being stored in the group data structure. | 08-30-2012 |
