Apparatus and method for selection of a device for content sharing operations

A method comprising:

• detecting a plurality of user devices based on proximity of the respective user devices with an apparatus;
• presenting, on a display associated with the apparatus, a user associated with each of the plurality of detected user devices;
• receiving an input from a user of the apparatus designating a target user from among the users presented with whom content is to be shared;
• communicating with the detected user device representing the target user and identifying a plurality of target devices associated with the designated target user based on the communication with the detected user device representing the target user;
• determining a capability of the target devices identified to experience the content to be shared;
• in an instance in which the capability of at least one of the target devices is appropriate for experiencing the content to be shared, selecting one of the at least one of the target devices with appropriate capability to receive the content, wherein the selected target device is selected at least partially based on the capability determined;
• and
• in an instance in which none of the target devices identified are determined to have a capability appropriate for experiencing the content to be shared, providing for storage of the content on a network.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code portions stored therein, the computer-executable program code portions comprising program code instructions for:

• detecting a plurality of user devices based on proximity of the respective user devices with an apparatus;
• presenting, on a display associated with the apparatus, a user associated with each of the plurality of detected user devices;
• receiving an input from a user of the apparatus designating a target user from among the users presented with whom content is to be shared;
• communicating with the detected user device representing the target user and identifying a plurality of target devices associated with the designated target user based on the communication with the detected user device representing the target user;
• determining a capability of the target devices identified to experience the content to be shared;
• in an instance in which the capability of at least one of the target devices is appropriate for experiencing the content to be shared, selecting one of the at least one of the target devices with appropriate capability to receive the content, wherein the selected target device is selected at least partially based on the capability determined;
• and
• in an instance in which none of the target devices identified are determined to have a capability appropriate for experiencing the content to be shared, providing for storage of the content on a network.
