Abstract
A method includes determining where multiple users are interacting with a canvas via user devices, identifying two users that are interacting proximate to each other on the canvas via their user devices, and establishing a communication mechanism between the two users.
Claims18
A method of facilitating communication between users of user computing devices having an TD to identify the user, the method comprising:
- determining using a system including a processor where multiple users are interacting via user devices with a canvas generated by an application running on the system, wherein the canvas has three or more dimensions;
- identifying, via the system and based on the ID in the user devices, two users that are creating content via user devices in respective identified zones, each of the respective zones having a size that is less than the entire canvas;
- determining a distance between the respective identified zones;
- and
- dynamically establishing via the system a communication mechanism between the two users in response to the determined distance being within a distance threshold.
A non-transitory machine readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of the machine to facilitate communication between users of user computing devices having an II) to identify the user, the instructions to perform:
- determining via a system where multiple users are interacting via user devices with a canvas generated by an application running on the system, wherein the canvas has three or more dimensions;
- identifying, via the system and based on the ID in the user devices, two users that are creating content via user devices in respective identified zones, each of the respective zones having a size that is less than the entire canvas;
- determining a distance between the respective identified zones;
- and
- dynamically establishing via the system a communication mechanism between the two users in response to the determined distance being within a distance threshold.
A device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to:
- identify, via the system and based on the ID in the user devices, two users that are creating content via user devices in respective identified zones, each of the respective zones having a size that is less than the entire canvas;
- determine a distance between the respective identified zones;
- and
- dynamically establish via the system a communication mechanism between the two users in response to the determined distance being within a configured distance threshold.
