Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method of proximity-triggered delivery of people highlights can include receiving a plurality of highlight requests from a plurality of users; determining, from the plurality of highlight requests, that a first user of the plurality of users is physically proximate to a second user of the plurality of users; accessing information associated with the first user and accessing information associated with the second user; determining a relationship between the first user and the second user based on the information associated with the first user and the information associated with the second user; and obtaining a highlight based on the determined relationship between the first user and the second user.
