Intuitive data transfer between connected devices

摘要

Techniques for sharing or transferring content between connected devices via dynamic collaboration user interfaces. An embodiment involves creating a first collaboration user interface between a first device and a second device. Via the first collaboration user interface, selecting content to be made available to a third device, where the selected content is currently available to the first device and not currently available to the third device. A second collaboration user interface is created between the second device and the third device. State information may be provided to a user via at least one of the first collaboration user interface and the second collaboration user interface. The second collaboration user interface causes the selected content to be available to the third device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising, a mobile device that includes a processor and memory configured to:
communicate with a first media device over a first wireless communication channel when the mobile device is physically proximate to the first media device; communicate with the first media device over a network-based second wireless communication channel based on a communication between the mobile device and the first media device over the first wireless communication channel, including to receive an indication of content available to the first media device when the mobile device is physically proximate to the first media device; present a user-selectable indication of the content available to the first media device at the mobile device; permit a user of the mobile device to elect a second media device as a destination of user-selected content available to the first media device when the mobile device is proximate to the second media device; receive information from the first media device regarding one or more of applications supported by the first media device, types of content supported by the first media device, and content stored at the first media device; provide information to the first media device regarding interface components of the mobile device, wherein the interface components include one or more of a microphone, a touchscreen display, a gyroscope, a keyboard, and a biometric data reader; and receive an application from the first media device to permit the mobile device to interface with one or more of a user interface and an application of the first media device through one or more of the interface components of the mobile device when the mobile device is physically proximate to the first media device.
