Abstract

See full text

A method of delivering and minimizing duplication of multimedia content to users in pervasive computing environments is disclosed. A mobile device enters a first environment and establishes a short-range wireless connection to a non-mobile device in its proximity. The non-mobile device transmits metadata as it displays content. The metadata is received by the mobile device and stored in a local buffer. The mobile device accumulates a viewing history of content that has recently been viewed. The mobile device later enters a second environment and establishes short-range wireless connection to another non-mobile device. The viewing history is transmitted from the mobile to the non-mobile device and is used to select and sequence content.
