Abstract

A system including a first mobile device and a second mobile device is disclosed. The first mobile device has a first interactive pairing criterion associated therewith, and the second mobile device has a second interactive pairing criterion associated therewith. The first mobile device includes a processor configured to perform and/or initiate the following. Upon the second mobile device being geographically positioned within a predetermined geographic distance from the first mobile device, an automatic query is issued to determine whether the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another. Upon a determination that the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another, a digital media file associated with the second mobile device is downloaded.

Claims (36)

1. A first mobile device having a first interactive pairing criterion associated therewith, comprising:

a display; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform and/or initiate:

issuing, upon a second mobile device, associated with a second user, having a second interactive pairing criterion being geographically positioned within a predetermined geographic distance from the first mobile device, associated with a first user, an automatic query to determine whether the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another; and

downloading, upon a determination that the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another, a digital media file associated with the second mobile device, wherein both the first user and the second user are associated with a same social networking website.

2. The first mobile device of claim 1 , wherein displaying a list of one or more digital media files associated with the second mobile device.

3. The first mobile device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more digital media files displayed on the list are selected based upon a type of relationship implicated by the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coinciding with one another.

4. The first mobile device of claim 3 , wherein the type of relationship is selected from a plurality of possible relationships.

5. The first mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the digital media file is automatically downloaded.

6. The first mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the digital media file is downloaded directly from the second mobile device.

7. The first mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the digital media file is downloaded from external storage separate from the second mobile device.

8. The first mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the digital media file includes one of a VCF file, a MP3 file, a WMV file, a MPEG4 file, a QUICKTIME file, a JPG file, a BMP file, and a PDF file.

9. A system comprising:

a first mobile device, associated with a first user, having a first interactive pairing criterion associated therewith; and

a second mobile device, associated with a second user having a second interactive pairing criterion associated therewith, wherein the first mobile device includes a processor configured to perform and/or initiate:

issuing, upon the second mobile device being geographically positioned within a predetermined geographic distance from the first mobile device, an automatic query to determine whether the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another; and

downloading, upon a determination that the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another, a digital media file associated with the second mobile device wherein both the first user and the second user are associated with a same social networking website.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein displaying a list of one or more digital media files associated with the second mobile device.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more digital media files displayed on the list are selected based upon a type of relationship implicated by the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coinciding with one another.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the type of relationship is selected from a plurality of possible relationships.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital media file is automatically downloaded.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital media file is downloaded directly from the second mobile device.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital media file is downloaded from external storage separate from the second mobile device.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital media file includes one of a VCF file, a MP3 file, a WMV file, a MPEG4 file, a QUICKTIME file, a JPG file, a BMP file, and a PDF file.

17. A method, executed by a first mobile device having a first interactive pairing criterion associated therewith, comprising:

issuing, upon a second mobile device, associated with a second user, having a second interactive pairing criterion being geographically positioned within a predetermined geographic distance from the first mobile device, associated with a first user, an automatic query to determine whether the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another; and

downloading, upon a determination that the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another, a digital media file associated with the second mobile device, wherein both the first user and the second user are associated with a same social networking website.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising displaying a list of one or more digital media files associated with the second mobile device.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the one or more digital media files displayed on the list are selected based upon a type of relationship implicated by the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coinciding with one another.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the type of relationship is selected from a plurality of possible relationships.

21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the digital media file is automatically downloaded.

22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the digital media file is downloaded directly from the second mobile device.

23. The method of claim 17 , wherein the digital media file is downloaded from external storage separate from the second mobile device.

24. The method of claim 17 , wherein the digital media file includes one of a VCF file, a MP3 file, a WMV file, a MPEG4 file, a QUICKTIME file, a JPG file, a BMP file, and a PDF file.

25. The method of claim 17 , wherein both the first interactive pairing criterion and the second interactive pairing criteria are associated with the social networking website.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the determination is performed by the social network website.
