Establishing directed communication based upon physical interaction between two devices
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing program instructions for establishing communication with a device, the program instructions, when executed by a processor, for:
- detecting, at a first device, a physical interaction between the first device and a second device;
at least one of obtaining at the first device and providing to the second device, a network address currently not being used for communicating via a network and 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, wherein obtaining the network address includes a wireless communication of the network address involving the first device; and
automatically wirelessly transferring content using the network address, wherein transferring content includes at least one of receiving content at the first device from the second device and providing content from the first device to the second device.
