Abstract:
Methods for device pairing via a cloud server are provided. In one aspect, a method includes sending an initial signal from a first device to a second device. The method includes sending a notification from the first device of a set of communication capabilities of the first device. The method also includes receiving an indication of a common communication capability between the first and second devices. The method includes initiating pairing of the first device and the second device using the common communication capability in response to the received indication. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
Abstract:
A method for transferring content includes transferring content from a first device to a second device in response to a request from the first device to transfer the content, analyzing the transferred content at the second device, to determine a type of the transferred content and providing the transferred content for display at the second device according to the determined type of the transferred content.
Abstract:
The subject technology discloses configurations for determining, at a first computing device, if a second computing device is within a predetermined distance of the first computing device. The subject technology then establishes, at the first computing device, a wireless near field communication (NFC) connection with the second computing device. Information for configuring a wireless tethering connection with the second computing device is then transmitted over the wireless NFC connection. Further, the subject technology receives, over the wireless NFC connection, confirmation that the wireless tethering connection has been configured.

Abstract:
Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for determining a location of a device. A system is configured to identify a group of devices, wherein each device in the group of devices is within a threshold distance of the other devices in the group of devices, receive at least one image of a surrounding area from one or more devices in the group of devices, and determine a relative position for at least one device in the group of devices based on the at least one image received from the one or more devices.

Abstract:
A system and method for managing a power mode of a designated electronic device are provided. A geographical location of a mobile electronic device is determined. A comparison of the determined geographical location of the mobile electronic device and a stored location of a designated electronic device in a power-off mode is made. A wake-up signal is sent to the designated electronic device if the determined geographical location of the mobile electronic device is within a proximity threshold of the designated electronic device, where the designated electronic device is configured to enter a power-on mode upon receipt of the wake-up signal.
