Data interchange device
First Claim
1. A data interchange device for use in association with a computing device, whereby a single user may unilaterally cause data objects to be transmitted at any time using wireless data transmission between said data interchange device and a single computing device;
- wherein said data interchange device comprises;
a central processing unit;
a memory having volatile and non-volatile memory capacity;
at least one trigger device to initiate operation of said data interchange device;
a wireless data transmitter;
a wireless data receiver; and
at least one user signalling device;
wherein, upon activation of said at least one trigger device said central processing unit causes said user signalling device to indicate that the data interchange device is operative, and wireless data transmission between either said transmitter or said receiver and a single computing device occurs, whereby a data object is retrieved from or stored in said memory; and
wherein, upon completion of said wireless data transmission, or after passage of a predetermined period of wireless data transmission inactivity, said central processing unit causes said user signalling device to turn off.

Abstract
A data interchange device exchanges data objects with a computing device using wireless data transmission, and has a CPU; a memory, a trigger device, a wireless data transmitter and receiver, and a user signalling device. Upon activation, the CPU causes the user signalling device to indicate that the data interchange device is operative, and wireless data transmission with a computing device occurs, so that a data object is retrieved from or stored in memory. Upon completion of wireless data transmission, or after passage of a predetermined period of wireless data transmission inactivity, the CPU causes the user signalling device to turn off. Typically, there is also at least one hard-wired input port for receiving data objects from an external computing device for storage in the memory. Use of the data interchange device is one-on-one by a person who must be in close proximity to the device.
