Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes identifying when a user device is in proximity to a moveable device, and determining a first amount of time the user device has been in proximity to the moveable device. The method also includes determining whether the first amount of time exceeds a threshold amount of time. When it is determined that the first amount of time exceeds the threshold amount of time, content associated with the moveable device is accessed. Finally, at least an indication of content is provided to the user device when it is determined that the first amount of time exceeds the threshold amount of time.
