Marking one or more items in response to determining device transfer

摘要

A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: determining that a computing device that was presenting one or more portions of one or more items and that was in possession of a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user; and marking, in response to said determining, the one or more portions of the one or more items to facilitate the computing device in returning to the one or more portions upon the computing device being at least transferred back to the first user. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
(a) a transfer determining module configured to determine that a computing device that was presenting one or more portions of one or more items and that was in possession of a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user, the transfer determining module configured to determine that a computing device that was presenting one or more portions of one or more items and that was in possession of a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user including at least:
(i) a transfer determining module including at least a particular movement detecting module configured to determine that the computing device has been transferred from the first user to the second user when the particular movement detecting module at least detects that the computing device has moved in a particular manner that when detected as occurring at least suggests that the computing device has been transferred between at least two users, the transfer determining module including at least a particular movement detecting module configured to determine that the computing device has been transferred from the first user to the second user including at least:
(A) a particular movement detecting module including a vibration detecting module configured to detect that the computing device has moved in the particular manner when the vibration detecting module at least detects that the computing device is no longer vibrating in a manner that matches with a vibration pattern that the computing device was detected as having when the computing device was in the possession of the first user prior to said transfer; and (b) a marking module configured to mark the one or more portions of the one or more items to facilitate the computing device in returning to the one or more portions upon the computing device being at least transferred back to the first user, the marking module being responsive at least in part to the transfer determining module configured to determine that a computing device that was presenting one or more portions of one or more items and that was in possession of a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user; and wherein at least one of the transfer determining module configured to determine that a computing device that was presenting one or more portions of one or more items and that was in possession of a first user has been transferred from the first user to a second user or the marking module is at least partly implemented with hardware.
