Patent Images
1. A portable apparatus comprising:
- a wireless transceiver to receive, via wireless communication, a document subjected to unconscious capture by a first device and to transmit the document to a second device, such that communication of the document occurs between the first and second devices;
a memory coupled to the transceiver to store the document; and
a processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory, the processor controlling the transceiver to cause the transceiver to receive the document unconsciously from the first device and to transfer the document as part of being downloaded to the second device.
