Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for sharing a content item from a secondary computing device to a primary computing device based on a tilt position of the secondary computing device. A sensor on the secondary computing device determines that the secondary computing device has a first tilt position that is associated with a non-sharing mode. The sensor senses that the secondary computing device is tilting from the first tilt position towards a second tilt position that is associated with a full sharing mode. In response, the content item is shared with the primary computing device. An amount of the content item that is shared continues to be increased as long as the sensor continues to sense that the secondary computing device is tilting. Once the secondary computing device has reached the second tilt position, the entire content item is shared with the primary computing device.
