First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for associating co-presence information with a media item, comprising:
- in response to a media device acquiring a media item, creating a media identification (ID) for the media item;
broadcasting the media ID to at least one peer device co-present with the media device;
receiving a transmission from a registered user of the peer device reporting receipt of the media ID;
creating an arbitrary ID for the registered user; and
associating with the media item the arbitrary ID of the registered user of the peer device that reported receipt of the media ID.

Abstract
Computer-implemented methods and systems for associating co-presence information with a media item comprise creating a media identification (ID) for the media item in response to a media device acquiring a media item. The media ID is broadcast to at least one peer device co-present with the media device. A transmission is received from a registered user of the peer device reporting receipt of the media record ID, and an arbitrary ID for the registered user is created. The arbitrary ID of the registered user of the peer device that reported receipt of the media record ID is then associated with the media item.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a media device that acquires a media item and communicates over a network; and a co-presence service accessible over the network that associates co-presence information with the media item by; in response to a request from the media device, creating a media identification (ID) for the media item and returning the media ID to the media device, wherein the media device broadcasts the media ID to at least one peer device co-present with the media device; receiving a transmission from a registered user of the peer device reporting receipt of the media ID; creating an arbitrary ID for the registered user; and associating with the media item the arbitrary ID of the registered user of the peer device that reported receipt of the media ID. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A media device, comprising:
-
a memory; a processor coupled to the memory; and a client application executed by the processor that is configured to; acquire a media item and associate a media identification (ID) with the media item, and broadcast the media ID to at least one peer device co-present with the media device, wherein the peer device sends a transmission to a co-presence service to report receipt of the media ID, wherein the co-presence service creates an arbitrary ID for the registered user and associates with the media item the arbitrary ID of the registered user of the peer device that reported receipt of the media ID.
