User-defined coverage of media-player devices on online social networks

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• send, from a client system to a media-player device, an indication that a user of an online social network is logged into the online social network via a native application associated with the online social network, the client system being within range of at least one of a plurality of antennas of the media-player device, wherein the media-player device sets a power level of each of the plurality of antennas to a maximum power level in response to receiving this indication;
• determine an orientation position of the client system with respect to the media-player device, wherein the orientation position is determined based on one or more broadcast signals received from one or more of the plurality of antennas;
• receive, from the media-player device, at each of a plurality of boundary positions of the client system with respect to the media-player device, at least one broadcast signal from at least one antenna of the plurality of antennas, wherein the respective boundary position is in range of the at least one antenna;
• determine, for each received broadcast signal, a signal strength of the received broadcast signal, wherein the determined signal strength is associated with the respective boundary position at which the broadcast signal was received;
• and
• send, from the client system to the media-player device, instructions to adjust a power level of each of the plurality of antennas based on the determined signal strengths, the power levels being adjusted to define a range of broadcast of the plurality of antennas based on the orientation position and the boundary positions of the client system.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• send, from a client system to a media-player device, an indication that a user of an online social network is logged into the online social network via a native application associated with the online social network, the client system being within range of at least one of a plurality of antennas of the media-player device, wherein the media-player device sets a power level of each of the plurality of antennas to a maximum power level in response to receiving this indication;
• determine an orientation position of the client system with respect to the media-player device, wherein the orientation position is determined based on one or more broadcast signals received from one or more of the plurality of antennas;
• receive, from the media-player device, at each of a plurality of boundary positions of the client system with respect to the media-player device, at least one broadcast signal from at least one antenna of the plurality of antennas, wherein the respective boundary position is in range of the at least one antenna;
• determine, for each received broadcast signal, a signal strength of the received broadcast signal, wherein the determined signal strength is associated with the respective boundary position at which the broadcast signal was received;
• and
• send, from the client system to the media-player device, instructions to adjust a power level of each of the plurality of antennas based on the determined signal strengths, the power levels being adjusted to define a range of broadcast of the plurality of antennas based on the orientation position and the boundary positions of the client system.
