Live Proximity-Based Media Transfer

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a first device associated with a first instance of an application, input data representing a command to share media data;
• causing, based at least in part on the input data, a signal to be broadcasted from the first device to a geographic area associated with the first device;
• receiving, at the first device, an indication that a second device associated with a second instance of the application has received the signal;
• causing, based at least in part on the indication, a peer-to-peer network to be established between the first device and the second device;
• sending, from the first device and to the second device, the media data such that media corresponding to the media data is temporarily displayed on the second device without being saved to a permanently-accessible area of memory of the second device;
• causing the peer-to-peer network to cease;
• and
• causing the media data to be inaccessible on the second device.

A device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving input data representing a command to share media data;
• causing, based at least in part on the input data, a signal to be broadcasted to a geographic area associated with the device;
• receiving an indication that a viewer device has received the signal;
• causing, based at least in part on the indication, a peer-to-peer network to be established with the viewer device;
• sending, to the viewer device, the media data such that media corresponding to the media data is temporarily displayed on the viewer device without being saved to a permanently-accessible area of memory of the viewer device;
• causing the peer-to-peer network to cease;
• and
• causing the media data to be inaccessible on the viewer device.
