Intelligent temporary contact sharing between user equipment

A system for intelligent temporary contact sharing between user equipment (UE), comprising:

• one or more computers with executable instructions that when executed cause the system to:
• create a temporary ad-hoc network of a plurality of users in a cloud computing environment, the temporary ad-hoc network having a defined network location circumscribing the plurality of users;
• provide a temporary exchange of contact data between a first user equipment (UE) associated with a first one of the plurality of users and a second UE associated with a second one of the plurality of users via a wireless communication network according to one or more policies, user preferences, historical data, and a defined physical or virtual proximity between the first UE and the second UE within the defined network location;
• wherein the first UE and the second UE are each mobile devices;
• responsive to exchanging the contact data and while the first UE and the second UE are within the defined network location, initialize a machine learning operation to monitor communication interactions between the first UE and the second UE;
• wherein the machine learning operation deduces an association level and a maturity of the association level over time of those of the plurality of users operating the first UE and the second UE according to the monitored communication interactions;
• upon determining that either of the first UE and the second UE has exited the defined network location by moving farther than a predetermined physical distance from one another outside the defined network location of the ad-hoc network, starts a timer on the first UE or the second UE that exited;
• and
• upon an expiration of a predetermined time period on the timer, automatically permanently retains or automatically deletes the contact data between the first UE and the second UE according to the one or more policies, user preferences, historical data, and the deduced association level and the maturity of the association level determined by the machine learning operation between those of the plurality of users operating the first UE and the second UE while in the defined network location;
• wherein
• upon moving farther than the predetermined physical distance from one another, a notification is provided to each of the first UE and the second UE indicating which one of the first UE or the second UE has moved to a location outside the defined network location.

A computer program product for intelligent temporary contact sharing between user equipment (UE) by a processor, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• an executable portion that creates a temporary ad-hoc network of a plurality of users in a cloud computing environment, the temporary ad-hoc network having a defined network location circumscribing the plurality of users;
• an executable portion that provides a temporary exchange of contact data between a first user equipment (UE) associated with a first one of the plurality of users and a second UE associated with a second one of the plurality of users via a wireless communication network according to one or more policies, user preferences, historical data, and a defined physical or virtual proximity between the first UE and the second UE within the defined network location;
• wherein the first UE and the second UE are each mobile devices;
• an executable portion that, responsive to exchanging the contact data and while the first UE and the second UE are within the defined network location, initializes a machine learning operation to monitor communication interactions between the first UE and the second UE;
• wherein the machine learning operation deduces an association level and a maturity of the association level over time of those of the plurality of users operating the first UE and the second UE according to the monitored communication interactions;
• an executable portion that, upon determining that either of the first UE and the second UE has exited the defined network location by moving farther than a predetermined physical distance from one another outside the defined network location of the ad-hoc network, starts a timer on the first UE or the second UE that exited;
• and
• an executable portion that, upon an expiration of a predetermined time period on the timer, automatically permanently retains or automatically deletes the contact data between the first UE and the second UE according to the one or more policies, user preferences, historical data, and the deduced association level and the maturity of the association level determined by the machine learning operation between those of the plurality of users operating the first UE and the second UE while in the defined network location;
• wherein
• upon moving farther than the predetermined physical distance from one another, a notification is provided to each of the first UE and the second UE indicating which one of the first UE or the second UE has moved to a location outside the defined network location.
