First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- accessing logical relationship information describing logical relationships between user devices;
determining, using at least one processor, membership in a device group of a plurality of the user devices based on the logical relationship information;
receiving content from at least one of the user devices of the device group over a communication network; and
forwarding the content received from the at least one of the user devices of the device group over the communication network to other user devices of the device group.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the distribution of content among user devices of a device group are presented. In one example, logical relationship information describing logical relationships between user devices is accessed. Membership in a device group of a plurality of the user devices is determined based on the logical relationship information. Content from at least one of the user devices of the device group is received over a communication network. The received content is forwarded over the communication network to the other user devices of the device group.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
accessing logical relationship information describing logical relationships between user devices; repeatedly adjusting membership in a device group of a plurality of the user devices based on the logical relationship information; receiving content from at least one of the user devices of the device group over a communication network; and forwarding the content received from the at least one of the user devices of the device group over the communication network to other user devices of the device group. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)

28. A user device comprising:
-
a location services module to determine a location of the user device; an environmental input device to capture content; and a content transfer module to transfer an indication of the location and the captured content over a communication network to a server system, the captured content to be distributed to a plurality of devices of a device group comprising the user device, the device group being determined at least in part by the indication of the location. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
