Simultaneous Motion of Users to Trigger Establishment of Network Communications Channel

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• determining that a first user has been detected by a sensor connected to a first computing device;
• determining that a second user has been detected by another sensor connected to a second computing device;
• generating, when the first user is being detected by the sensor and the second user is being detected by the other sensor, authentication data,
• wherein the authentication data is generated in furtherance of establishing a communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• providing the authentication data to a server in furtherance of establishing the communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• and
• causing the server to establish the communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device,
• wherein the server establishes the communication channel based on receiving at least the authentication data, and
• wherein the first computing device and the second computing device communicate via the communication channel simultaneous to the sensor detecting the first user and the other sensor detecting the second user.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by one or more processors included in a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations that include:

• determining that a first user has been detected by a sensor connected to a first computing device;
• determining that a second user has been detected by another sensor connected to a second computing device;
• generating, when the first user is being detected by the sensor and the second user is being detected by the other sensor, authentication data,
• wherein the authentication data is generated in furtherance of establishing a communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• providing the authentication data to a server in furtherance of establishing the communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• and
• causing the server to establish the communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device,
• wherein the server establishes the communication channel based on receiving at least the authentication data, and
• wherein the first computing device and the second computing device communicate via the communication channel simultaneous to the sensor detecting the first user and the other sensor detecting the second user.

A computing device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations that include:
• determining that a first user has been detected by a sensor connected to a first computing device;
• determining that a second user has been detected by another sensor connected to a second computing device;
• generating, when the first user is being detected by the sensor and the second user is being detected by the other sensor, authentication data,
• wherein the authentication data is generated in furtherance of establishing a communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• providing the authentication data to a server in furtherance of establishing the communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• and
• causing the server to establish the communication channel between the first computing device and the second computing device,
• wherein the server establishes the communication channel based on receiving at least the authentication data, and
• wherein the first computing device and the second computing device communicate via the communication channel simultaneous to the sensor detecting the first user and the other sensor detecting the second user.
