COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PROVIDING DATA TRANSFER DIRECTION DETERMINATION BASED UPON MOTION AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A communication system may include at least one electronic device configured to wirelessly communicate via a short-range communications format, and at least one mobile communications device. The at least one mobile communications device may include a short-range communications device configured to wirelessly communicate with the at least one electronic device via the short-range communications format, and a controller coupled to the short-range communications device. The controller may be configured to determine a state of movement of the at least mobile communications device, and determine a direction of communication with respect to the at least one electronic device based upon the determined state of movement.

主权项

1. A mobile communication device comprising:
a memory that stores executable instructions; a short-range communication device that wirelessly communicates via a short-range communication format, and a controller coupled to the memory and the short-range communication device, wherein the controller, responsive to executing the executable instructions, performs operations comprising:
detecting a triggering event for movement determination;responsive to the triggering event, determining a state of movement of the mobile communication device and an electronic device, wherein the determining of the state of movement includes determining whether the mobile communication device and the electronic device moved toward one another; anddetermining whether to transmit data to the electronic device, receive data from the electronic device, or both transmit data to and receive data from the electronic device, based upon the determined state of movement of the mobile communication device and the electronic device.
