CREATING CONNECTIONS AND SHARED SPACES

摘要

Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage media are provided for connecting devices. Shared spaces may be created among one or more users and/or devices. Based on various factors including locations, histories among users, time of day, etc., spaces may be created among users such that content may be shared within the shared space. The spaces may be created using multiple technologies such that one user may connect to the space via a first identifier format while a second user may connect to the space via a second identifier format. Once created, content may be shared with one or more users of the space. Depending on privacy and/or security settings of the space, any user may invite other users to join the space. The content may be available to any participant once the space has terminated.

主权项

1. One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more computing devices, perform a method of connecting devices, the method comprising:
identifying a user location of an initial user at a first time; identifying a location of a plurality of other users at the first time; communicating a session identifier to the plurality of other users via a plurality of session identifier formats such that a first user connects to a shared space session using a first session identifier format and a second user connects to the shared space session using a second session identifier format different than the first session identifier format, where the session identifier identifies the shared space session created by the user; and displaying the session identifiers to the first user in the first session identifier format and the second user in the second session identifier format.
