ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT WITH DATA TRANSFER FUNCTION USING MOTION AND METHOD

摘要

Electronic equipment, e.g., a mobile phone (10, 12), PDA (110, 112) or other device, is operative to transmit information to another electronic equipment when the two are paired caused by moving them , e.g., shaking, at substantially the same frequency and amplitude. The transferred information may be contacts or other information. The electronic equipment include a motion transducer providing motion signals representing motion and a comparator (42) that compares motion signals to determine whether substantially the same motion is occurring to both electronic equipment; if affirmative, substantially secure communication is established for transmitting information between electronic equipment. Method of transmitting information includes detecting occurrence of motion and in response thereto transmitting information. A method also includes simultaneously shaking at least two electronic equipment (10, 12, 110, 112) together to establish conveniently secure communication link and communication protocol between the electronic equipment. The method further includes transmitting information over such communication link.
