Abstract

Methods and systems for location-based asset sharing are provided. In an embodiment, a method stores a publication in a data store accessible by a server system, the publication including a publication location and a distance restriction. The method receives a request for the asset and then determines, by the server system, to provide the asset in response to the request. The determining is based on a requesting location associated with the request, the publication location, and the distance restriction, wherein according to the distance restriction, the asset is only provided to the requesting location if a distance from the requesting location to the publication location satisfies a specified relationship. The method provides the asset in response to the request. In another embodiment, the publication includes references to one or more assets being shared by a publisher. Another method creates an asset-listener association in response to a received asset association request.
