Abstract

Embodiments for providing personal broadcast are generally described herein. A computing device to display a personal bulletin board may comprise a transceiver configured to data at the computing device from a second computing device; a rear-facing screen configured to present an indication of the data to a user of the first computing device; an input module configured to receive a command from the user to display a representation of the data on the front-facing screen; and a front-facing screen configured to display the representation of the data in response to receiving the command from the user.

Claims

1. A first computing device for displaying a personal bulletin board, the first computing device comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive data at the first computing device from a second computing device;

a policy manager configured to access a policy store to determine whether the data received from the second computing device is approved for display, the policy store including a whitelist, a blacklist, and a peeling policy;

a rear-facing screen configured to present an indication of the data to a user of the first computing device, the indication including notification that the data is peelable from the personal bulletin board by a prescribed number of users and a certain class of users as specified in whitelist, the blacklist, and the peeling policy;

an input module configured to receive a command from the user to display a representation of the data on a front-facing screen; and

the front-facing screen configured to display the representation of the data in response to receiving the command from the user.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the rear-facing screen is further configured to present at least one of:

an author of the data, a source of the data, a description of the data, a video preview of the data, or a thumbnail image of the data.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the second computing device comprises a server associated with a business, and wherein the transceiver is configured to:

connect with the server; and

receive data related to the business.

4. The device of claim 3, wherein connecting with the server is contingent on the first computing device operating in proximity to the business.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the policy manager conditionally present the indication of the data on the rear-facing screen to the user based on the determination.

6. The device of claim 5, wherein the policy store is configured to be managed by the user.

7. The device of claim 5, wherein the policy store is configured to be managed by crowd sourcing.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the second computing device includes a second front-facing screen and wherein:

the rear-facing screen is configured to present content that is presented on the second front-facing screen;

the input module is configured to receive a command from the user to capture the content presented on the second front-facing screen; and

the front-facing screen is configured to present the captured content.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the transceiver is configured to:

transmit a request to the second computing device for permission to capture the content presented on the second front-facing screen;

receive permission from the second computing device; and

capture content from the second computing device based on the permission.

10. A first computing device for displaying a personal bulletin board, comprising:

a rear-facing screen configured to present content that is presented on a second computing device, the second computing device including a second rear-facing screen and a second front-facing screen, wherein the content is peelable from the second computing device by a prescribed number of users and a certain class of users in accordance with a peeling policy that includes a whitelist and a blacklist;

an input module configured to receive a command from a user of a first device to capture the content presented on the second front-facing screen of the second computing device, wherein the command to capture the content includes peeling the content from the second computing device when the user of the first computing device is one of the prescribed number of users and within the certain class of users; and

a front-facing screen configured to present the captured content.

11. The device of claim 10, further comprising a transceiver configured to:

transmit a request to the second computing device for permission to capture the content presented on the second front-facing screen;

receive permission from the second computing device; and

capture content from the second computing device based on the permission.

12. The device of claim 11, further comprising:

a content editor module configured to modify the captured content; and

wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the captured content to the second computing device, wherein a user of the second computing device can post the transmitted captured content to the second front-facing screen of the second computing device.

13. The device of claim 10, wherein the first device comprises a smartphone.

14. The device of claim 10, wherein the first device includes a rear-facing screen and the front-facing screen.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for displaying a personal bulletin board, which when executed by a first computing device, cause the first computing device to:

receive data at the first computing device from a second computing device, the first computing device including a rear-facing screen and a front-facing screen;

access a policy store to determine whether the data received from the second computing device is approved for display, the policy More including a whitelist a blacklist, and a peeling policy;

present an indication of the data to a user of the first computing device, the indication including notification that the data is peelable from the personal bulletin board by a prescribed number of users and a certain class of users as specified in the whitelist, the blacklist, and the peeling policy;

receive a command from the user to display a representation of the data on the front-facing screen; and

display the representation of the data on the front-facing screen.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions to present the indication of the data to the user comprise instructions to:

present at least one of;

an author of the data, a source of the data, a description of the data, a video preview of the data, or a thumbnail image of the data.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium claim 15, wherein the second computing device comprises a server, and wherein receiving data at the first computing device comprises:

connecting with the server, the server being associated with a business; and

receiving data related to the business.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17 wherein connecting with the server is contingent on the first computing device operating in proximity to the business.
