Abstract:

When attempting to establish a peer-to-peer connection, a computing device can quickly discover compatible devices, which are capable of exchanging content, and remember them. When a neighboring device is discovered during a scan, the computing device can determine whether the neighboring device is capable of sharing content. Once it is determine that the neighboring device can share content, the computing device can determine a history of previous connections with the neighboring device. The computing device can determine a priority for sharing content with neighboring device relative to other devices. The computing device can determine the priority based on the history of the neighboring device and the history of other devices so that the devices with a likelihood of new content receive a higher priority.
