Abstract:
In an approach to providing push notifications to a computing device, one or more computer processors detect a first computing device. The one or more computer processors determine whether one or more additional computing devices are detected within a pre-defined proximity threshold of the first computing device. In response to determining one or more additional computing devices are detected within a pre-defined proximity threshold of the first computing device, the one or more computer processors retrieve data from the one or more additional computing devices. The one or more computer processors determine, based, at least in part, on the retrieved data from the one or more additional computing devices, a notification. The one or more computer processors send the notification to the first computing device.
