A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the identification of one or more media files stored on respective ones of a plurality of user devices. In the context of a method, a current context is determined. The method also automatically identifies one or more media files stored on respective ones of a plurality of user devices based upon a relationship between a context associated with the respective media file and the current context. The method also causes the one or more media files to be transferred to an output device for presentation. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Method and apparatus for identifying media files based upon contextual relationships

A method comprising receipt of visual information from a camera module, determination that the visual information comprises visual information indicative of a printed document that is being read by a user, determination of a printed document identifier that identifies the printed document based, at least in part, on the visual information, determination that the printed document identifier corresponds with a historical printed document record, retrieval of at least one printed document interaction attribute associated with the printed document identifier from the historical printed document record, and causation of rendering of information indicative of the printed document interaction attribute is disclosed.

Causation of rendering of information indicative of a printed document interaction attribute

Devices, systems, and methods are described for allowing rules that are applied to one device to be applied to another device based on a user's interaction with only the devices. A rule-copy action, such as simultaneous shaking of the two devices, proximity of the two devices to each other, and/or the relative positions of the two devices, may be detected at one of the devices (e.g., a first device to which the user desires the rules or a copy of the rules to apply). In response to the rule-copy action, another device (e.g., a second device configured to operate according to the at least one rule) may be identified. The at least one rule may then be caused to be applied to the first device in response to detection of the rule-copy action, so as to configure the first device to operate according to the at least one rule.
