Location based multi-device communication

A method for context based interactions by a host computing device, comprising:

• detecting, at the host computing device, a local signal from a client device in response to a touch event received on the digitized surface, the local signal being associated with a physical location on a digitized surface of the host computing device;
• determining the physical location on the digitized surface based on the local signal detected by the digitized surface of the computing device;
• receiving, at the host computing device, an identifier of the client device;
• determining, by the host computing device, an event based on at least an active application on the host computing device, and the physical location;
• and
• requesting, by the host computing device, a specific type of information related to the client device, wherein the specific type of information is selected by the host computing device based on the event.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions for a host computing device, comprising instructions to:

• detect, at the host computing device, a local signal from a client device in response to a touch event received on the digitized surface, the local signal being associated with a physical location on a digitized surface of the host computing device;
• determining the physical location on the digitized surface based on the local signal detected by the digitized surface of the host computing device:
• receive, at the host computing device, an identifier of the client device;
• determine, by the host computing device, an event based on an active application on the host computing device, the identifier, and the physical location;
• and
• request, by the host computing device, a specific type of information related to the client device, wherein the specific type of information is selected by the host computing device based on the event.
