Abstract
An example electronic device includes a display device to display content, a transceiver to exchange ranging messages with a location device to enable the location device to locate the electronic device relative to the location device, and a processor. In response to the electronic device being located in a first zone of an external electronic device, the processor is to receive identification information of the external electronic device, and in response to receiving the identification information, the processor is to share the content with the external electronic device.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display device to display content;
- a transceiver to exchange ranging messages with a location device to enable the location device to locate the electronic device relative to the location device;
- and
- a processor to:
- designate a first two-dimensional area or three-dimensional volume as a first zone of an external electronic device,
- designate a second two-dimensional area or three-dimensional volume as a second zone of the external electronic device, the second zone overlapping the first zone, and
- automatically without receiving a user input:
- in response to the electronic device being located in the first zone, receive identification information of the external electronic device,
- in response to receiving the identification information, share the content with the external electronic device,
- in response to the electronic device being located outside of the first zone and inside of the second zone, continue to share the content with the external electronic device, and
- in response to the electronic device being located outside of the second zone, stop sharing the content with the external electronic device.
8 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- a memory to store first location information regarding a first zone and second location information regarding a second zone;
- and
- a processor to:
- designate a first two-dimensional area or three-dimensional volume as the first zone and a second two-dimensional area or three-dimensional volume as the second zone,
- receive third location information from a location device indicating a location of a host device relative to the location device,
- determine if the host device is located in the first zone based on the first location information and the third location information,
- in response to a determination that the host device is located in the first zone, transmit identification information of the electronic device to the host device,
- receive content automatically shared by the host device without a user input at the host device, after transmitting the identification information, and
- determine if the host device is located outside of the first zone and inside of the second zone, and in response to a determination that the host device is located outside of the first zone and inside of the second zone, continue to receive the content shared by the host device.

- and
- a processor to, automatically without receiving a user input:
- when the electronic device is located in the first zone designated by an external electronic device, receive identification information of the external electronic device,
- in response to receiving the identification information, share the content with the external electronic device,
- in response to the electronic device being located outside of the first zone and inside of the second zone, continue to share the content with the external electronic device, and
- when the electronic device is moved outside of the second zone designated by the external electronic device, stop sharing the content with the external electronic device, the second zone overlapping the first zone.
