First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for establishing communication with a device, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first device, a selection of content;
detecting, at the first device, a physical interaction involving the first device and a second device;
identifying, at the first device, a network address usable for establishing communication between the first device and the second device, the network address identified based on information associated with the detected physical interaction;
wirelessly providing the network address to the second device; and
automatically wirelessly transferring the content between the first device and the second device using the network address based on information associated with the detected physical interaction.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing program instructions for establishing communication with a device, the program instructions, when executed by a processor, for:
-
receiving, at a first device, a selection of content; detecting, at the first device, a physical interaction involving the first device and a second device; identifying, at the first device, a network address usable for establishing communication between the first device and the second device, the network address identified based on information associated with the detected physical interaction; wirelessly providing the network address to the second device; and automatically wirelessly transferring the content between the first device and the second device using the network address based on information associated with the detected physical interaction.
