ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for initiating and establishing a local chat session. In general, a first network device determines whether to initiate a local chat session with a second network device based either directly or indirectly on a profile for the second network device. The profile includes content information describing content stored by the second network device. In one embodiment, the first network device obtains an identifier of the second network device via a local wireless connection and requests the profile for the second network device from a central node maintaining a database storing profiles for a number of network devices including the first and second network devices. After receiving the profile for the second network device from the central node, the first network device determines whether to initiate the local chat session with the second network device based on the profile for the second network device.
