SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AMPLIFING SOCIAL DYNAMICS USING MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for allowing communication between two or more proximate mobile computing devices, the method comprising:
- at a first mobile computing device, detecting the presence of a second mobile computing device;
receiving at least one of a portion of a list of media files or user information from at least one of the second mobile computing device or a server over a wireless network;
determining if there exists a match between the first mobile computing device and the second mobile computing device based on the received at least one of the portion of the list of media files or the user information from the second mobile computing device and at least one of a portion of a list of media files or user preference information associated with the first mobile computing device; and
outputting an alert, if a match is determined.

Abstract
Systems and methods for allowing communication between two or more proximate mobile computing devices. In one method a first device detects the presence of a second device. A signal is sent by a first device for requesting a comparison of the lists of media files. The signal can be sent to a second device (or to a server over a wireless network) and may include the list of media files associated with the first device. The second device sends a list of media files to the first device after receiving the signal. An alert is outputted if a list of media files associated with the first device is determined to be comparable to a list of media files associated with the second device based on one or more predefined parameters.

8. A first mobile computing device for allowing communication between other second mobile computing devices, the first mobile computing device comprising:
-
memory for storing at least one of a list of media files or user preference information;
one or more wireless communication components; and
a processor in data communication with the memory and the one or more wireless communication components, the processor comprising;
a first component for detecting the presence of a second mobile computing device and receiving at least one of a portion of a list of media files or user information associated with the second mobile computing device from at least one of the second mobile computing device or a server over a wireless network;
a second component for determining if there exists a match between the first mobile computing device and the second mobile computing device based on the received at least one of the portion of the list of media files or the user information from the second mobile computing device and at least one of a portion of a list of media files or user preference information associated with the first mobile computing device; and
a third component for outputting an alert, if a match is determined. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
