1. A data processing system comprising:
- a first data processing device with a first display monitor;
a second data processing device;
wherein;
the first device has a data output for transmission of an electronic object;
the second device has a data input for receipt of the object transmitted by the first device;
the object corresponds with a graphical representation;
upon initiating of the transmission, the first device renders the representation as automatically and gradually disappearing from a visual portion of the first display monitor as a visual feedback representative of a progress of the transmission.

Abstract
The progress of transferring an electronic object from a sending handheld to a receiver is graphically represented as an gradually object sliding out of view on the display of the sender and gradually sliding into view on the display of the receiver. A gravity sensor in the handheld is used to determine the transmission'"'"'s data rate. This visual feedback is an ergonomic feature for, e.g., electronic toys.

6. A software application for control of transferring an electronic object between data processing devices, wherein:
-
at least one of the devices has a display monitor;
the object has a graphical representation; and
the software application controls a visual feedback of a progress of the transferring by control of a displaying of the representation as gradually disappearing or appearing on a visual portion of the display monitor, the graphical representation automatically gradually appearing or disappearing following an initiation of the control for transferring the electronic object. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A data processing system comprising:
-
a first data processing device with a first display monitor;
a second data processing device;
wherein;
the first device has a data output for transmission of an electronic object, the electronic object not consisting of a pointer controlled by a user-input device;
the second device has a data input for receipt of the object transmitted by the first device;
the object corresponds with a graphical representation;
upon initiating of the transmission, the first device renders the representation as gradually disappearing from a visual portion of the first display monitor as a visual feedback representative of a progress of the transmission.

9. A software application for control of transferring an electronic object between data processing devices, the electronic object not consisting of a pointer controlled by a user-input device, wherein:
-
at least one of the devices has a display monitor;
the object has a graphical representation; and
the software application controls a visual feedback of a progress of the transferring by control of a displaying of the representation as gradually appearing or disappearing on a visual portion of the display monitor.
