Abstract:
1. A computationally-implemented method, comprising: determining that a computing device associated with a first user and that was in possession of a second user has been transferred from the second user to the first user, wherein said determining that a computing device associated with a first user and that was in possession of a second user has been transferred from the second user to the first user is performed via at least one of a machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, and wherein said determining that a computing device associated with a first user and that was in possession of a second user has been transferred from the second user to the first user comprises: determining that the computing device has been transferred from the second user to the first user by at least detecting presence or absence of one or more visual cues in proximate vicinity of the computing device, and wherein said determining that the computing device has been transferred from the second user to the first user by at least detecting presence or absence of one or more visual cues in proximate vicinity of the computing device comprises: detecting the presence or absence of the one or more visual cues in the proximate vicinity of the computing device by at least detecting presence of a first face associated with the first user and a second face associated with the second user in the proximate vicinity of the computing device, the first face being detected as being closer to the computing device than the second face; and providing at least greater access via the computing device to one or more items in response to determining that the computing device has been transferred from the second user to the first user.
