APPARATUS SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROXIMITY-BASED SERVICE DISCOVERY AND SESSION SHARING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031866 titled 'APPARATUS SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROXIMITY-BASED SERVICE DISCOVERY AND SESSION SHARING

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems are provided to simplify the sharing or hand-off of program content or user sessions between devices. This allows users to easily select and switch devices on which program content is being viewed or user sessions are being run, without having to sift through numerous other devices on the same network that are not in close proximity.

  • The user device determines which discovered devices received a short-range wireless signal with a defined key.
  • The user device provides a list of discovered devices that can share a session over the computer network based on this determination.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Seamless device switching for media consumption: Users can easily switch between devices to continue watching a movie or TV show without interruption.
  • Collaborative work sessions: Users can share their sessions with colleagues on different devices, making it easier to collaborate and share information.
  • Gaming: Gamers can switch between devices to continue playing their games, providing a seamless gaming experience.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of switching devices for program content or user sessions, eliminating the need to manually search for and connect to the desired device.
  • Reduces the frustration of having to sift through numerous devices on the same network that are not in close proximity to the user device.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience: Users can easily switch between devices without interruption, improving convenience and flexibility.
  • Time-saving: Users do not have to spend time searching for and connecting to the desired device, as the user device provides a list of available devices.
  • Improved collaboration: Sharing sessions with colleagues on different devices simplifies collaboration and enhances productivity.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems are provided that facilitate sharing or a hand-off of program content or a user session (e.g., running within a computer application) of a user device such that a user can easily select and then switch devices on which program content is being viewed or on which a user session is being run without having to sift through a myriad of other devices such as remote discoverable devices on the same network that are not in close proximity to the user device. a user device determines which of a plurality of discovered devices from which a short range wireless signal including a defined key was received and provides a list of discovered devices with which a session may be shared over the computer network with the user device based on this determination.
