METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TWO DEVICES USING MAGNETIC FIELD GENERATOR AND MAGNETIC FIELD DETECTOR

摘要

A system and method for transferring data from one device to a second device using a pulse generator which may be included on one device as a component or as a separate accessory. The component or accessory sends electromagnetic waves to a circuit on the second device that is sensitive to electromagnetic signals such as a magnometer or magnetic sensor. An example of a devices that is doing the communicating could be between two phones, or a phone and an electronic card as disclosed herein, or a tablet and a phone.

1. A method for transferring data from a first device to a second device comprising:
encoding origination data produced by said first device; providing the encoded data to a pulse generator; using the pulse generator to send said origination data in the form of electromagnetic waves to a circuit on the second device that is sensitive to electromagnetic signals, said pulse generator generating a varying magnetic field based on an interaction between a coil and a core magnet located on said first device.
