Context-driven local network services

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, context data of a scheduled event and an association data comprising identifiers that each uniquely identify a corresponding accepted computing device with which to engage in interactions;
• receiving, at the computing device, an identifier from another computing device;
• comparing the identifier to the association data to determine whether the other computing device is an accepted computing device;
• retrieving an aspect of a current context of the computing device, the aspect of the current context of the computing device comprising one or more of a current time or a current location of the computing device;
• in response to a determination that the other computing device is an accepted computing device, comparing the aspect to the context data to determine whether an appropriate context exists to share resources and exchange provision of network services with the other computing device through a network;
• and
• in response to a determination that the appropriate context exists, engaging in the interactions with the other computing device through the network, the interactions comprising receiving, at the computing device, an indication of an available network service and a requested network service from the other computing device, provisioning of the requested network service to the other computing device from the computing device based on the indication, and provisioning of the available network service to the computing device from the other computing device based on the indication.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions that when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to:

• receive context data of a scheduled event and an association data comprising identifiers that each uniquely identify a corresponding accepted computing device with which to engage in interactions;
• receive, at the computing device an identifier from another computing device;
• compare the identifier to the association data to determine whether the other computing device is an accepted computing device;
• retrieve an aspect of a current context of the computing device, the aspect of the current context of the computing device comprising one or more of a current time or a current location of the computing device;
• in response to a determination that the other computing device is an accepted computing device, compare the aspect to the context data to determine whether an appropriate context exists to share resources and exchange provision of network services with the other computing device through a network;
• and
• in response to a determination that the appropriate context exists, engaging in the interactions with the other computing device through the network, the interactions to comprise receipt of an indication of an available network service and a requested network service from the other computing device, provision of the requested network service to the other computing device from the computing device based on the indication, and provision of the available network service to the computing device from the other computing device based on the indication.
