Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for real-time information sharing. A server receives, from a first user device, a request to create an event and to share information among a group of user devices only within a predetermined time period. The server receives information from the respective user devices in the group during the predetermined time period, and distributes the received information to the group of user devices during the predetermined time period. The information comprises at least one of geographic locations of the group of user devices and still pictures or video taken by one or more of the group of user devices during the event.
Claims19
A method for providing information sharing, executable by a processor, comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device, a request to create an event and to share information among a group of user devices only within a predetermined time period associated with the event;
- receiving information from each respective user device in the group during the predetermined time period;
- and
- distributing the received information only to the group of user devices during the predetermined time period;
- generating a summary of the event after the predetermined time period expires;
- and
- distributing the generated event summary to the user devices in the group,
- wherein the information comprises at least one of geographic locations of the group of user devices and imagery taken by one or more of the group of user devices during the event.
A server apparatus for providing real time information sharing, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor for:
- receiving, from a first user device, a request to create an event and to share information among a group of user devices only within a predetermined time period;
- receiving information from each respective user device in the group during the predetermined time period;
- and
- distributing the received information only to the group of user devices during the predetermined time period;
- generating a summary of the event after the predetermined time period expires;
- and
- distributing the generated event summary to the user devices in the group,
- wherein the information comprises at least one of geographic locations of the group of user devices and imagery taken by one or more of the group of user devices during the event.
A device for providing real time information sharing, the device being configured to communicate with other devices on a peer to peer communication protocol, the device comprising:
- a user input device;
- a processor in communication with the user input device and configured to process information received from the user input device;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor for:
- receiving, from the user input device, user input indicating a request to create an event and to share information among a group of devices only within a predetermined time period;
- receiving information from each respective user device in the group during the predetermined time period;
- and
- distributing the received information only to the group of user devices during the predetermined time period;
- generating a summary of the event after the predetermined time period expires;
- and
- distributing the generated event summary to the user devices in the group,
- wherein the information comprises at least one of geographic locations of the group of user devices and imagery taken by one or more of the group of user devices during the event.
