    Abstract: An online system determines that a mobile device of a user and content device are connected to the same local network. To determine whether the content device is associated with the user, the online system provides a token and network ports to the content device. The content device establishes a connection to the mobile device using a selected network port to send the token. Responsive to receiving the token from the mobile device, the online system determines that the devices are connected to the same local network. The online system may also determine that the devices are within physical proximity to each other. The online system may send content items to the devices, and the user may view or interact with the content items simultaneously on multiple devices. Thus, the mobile device or content device acts as a complementary “second screen” or “control device” for the other device.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a beacon associated with a third-party content provider (e.g., a business), session information of the first user of an online social network. The first user's mobile device may be proximate to and in a wireless communication session with the beacon, which may be located at the third-party content provider. One or more second users, who are each connected to the first user in a social graph, may be selected. A communication session is not active between the beacon and the mobile devices of the second users. The selection may be based on selected second users being located within a predefined distance of the beacon (e.g., in the same neighborhood). A notification referencing selected second users (e.g., a prompt to invite the selected second users to the beacon location) may be sent to the first user's mobile device.

    Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中,一种方法包括从与第三方内容提供商(例如,业务)相关联的信标接收在线社交网络的第一用户的会话信息。 第一用户的移动设备可以接近和处于与可能位于第三方内容提供商处的信标的无线通信会话。 可以选择一个或多个第二用户,每个第二用户在社交图中连接到第一用户。 通信会话在第二用户的信标和移动设备之间不起作用。 选择可以基于选定的第二用户位于信标的预定义距离内(例如,在相同的邻域中)。 可以向第一用户的移动设备发送引用所选择的第二用户(例如,邀请所选择的第二用户到信标位置的提示)的通知。
