Abstract
A computer-implemented method is presented for enabling instant and automatic photo sharing between computing devices. The method includes allowing a first user to operate a first computing device to create a plurality of images, the plurality of images including physical characteristics of a second user, transmitting a broadcast message to a plurality of second computing devices, determining whether a match occurs between the first computing device and one or more of the plurality of second computing devices, and establishing a local area network between the first computing device and matched second computing devices. The method further includes automatically and instantly transmitting the plurality of images to the matched second computing devices by priority and sequence determinations, and, upon completion of the transmittal of the plurality of images to the matched second computing devices, terminating the local area network.
