DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING A CONTROLLABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A device may include a near field communication antenna, a monitor, a comparator, and a trigger. The near field communication antenna may be configured to detect an external near field communication device. The monitor may be configured to monitor a series of one or more transitions in a detection state of the device between a first detection state and a second detection state based on whether the near field communication antenna detects the near field communication device. The comparator may be configured to perform a comparison between first timing information associated with the series of one or more transitions and second timing information associated with a first predefined series of one or more transitions. The trigger may be configured to initiate a predefined action of the device based on the comparison.

1. A method of operating a controllable electronic device, the method comprising:
with NFC circuitry in the controllable electronic device, sensing movement of the NFC accessory relative to the controllable electronic device; with processing circuitry in the controllable electronic device, identifying the sensed movement of the NFC accessory as a given predefined movement in a database of predefined movements, wherein the database of predefined movements associates each predefined movement with a predefined action of the controllable electronic device; and with the processing circuitry, triggering the predefined action associated, in the database, with the given predefined movement.
