1. A system comprising:
- a first mobile device configured to provide a notification of a motion of the first mobile device in response to the motion and send selected data to a second mobile device, wherein the notification indicates an intent to transfer data of the first mobile device to the second mobile device; and
the second mobile device in close physical proximity to the first mobile device, the second mobile device configured to receive the notification indicating an intent by the first mobile device to transfer data to the second mobile device, receive data specifying a first predefined level of access to data of the first mobile device, determine a second predefined level of access to data of the second mobile device, and receive the selected data from the first mobile device, wherein the selected data received from the first mobile device is selected from the first mobile device based on a determination of a lower of the first predefined level of access of the first mobile device and the second predefined level of access to data of the second mobile device.

5. A method for sharing information between a first mobile device and a second mobile device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a second mobile device, a notification of a motion of a first mobile device, wherein; the first mobile device is in close proximity to the second mobile device at the time of the motion of the first mobile device, and the notification indicates an intent to transfer data of the first mobile device to the second mobile device; receiving data specifying a first predefined level access to data of the first mobile device; determining a second predefined level of access to data of the second mobile device; determining a lower of the first predefined level of access to data of the first mobile device and the second predefined level of access to data of the second mobile device, wherein the determined lower of the first and second predefined levels of access is usable to select data of the first mobile device to be transferred to the second mobile device; based on the determined lower of the first and second predefined levels of access, selecting data of the first mobile device to be transferred to the second mobile device; and receiving, by the second mobile device, the selected data of the first mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
