Data Communication In An Electronic Device
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a Near Field Communication (NFC) interface, including an antenna and a circuit for generating a modulated electromagnetic wave;
a user interface including a touch-sensitive display configured to present an object relating to a communication action executable by means of the NFC interface; and
a control unit connected to the NFC interface and the user interface, configured to trigger the NFC interface to execute the communication action responsive to simultaneous detection of the presented object being touched and the NFC interface being in communicative connection with a second NFC interface of a second device.

Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic device (10) and a method for data communication with such an electronic device. The electronic device combines, on the one hand, a Near Field Communication (NFC) interface, including an antenna and a circuit for generating a modulated electromagnetic wave, and on the other hand a user interface including a touch-sensitive display configured to present an object relating to a communication action executable by means of the NFC interface. A control unit connected to the NFC interface and the user interface, is configured to trigger the NFC interface to execute the communication action responsive to simultaneous detection of the presented object being touched and the NFC interface being in communicative connection with a second NFC interface of a second device.

19. Method for data communication in an electronic device, comprising the steps of:
-
providing an electronic device including a Near Field Communication (NFC) interface with an antenna connected to a circuit for modulating an electromagnetic wave, and a user interface comprising a touch-sensitive display;
positioning the NFC interface within communication range of a second NFC interface of a second device;
presenting an object, relating to a communication action executable by means of the NFC interface, on the display;
sensing touching of the presented object; and
executing the communication action responsive to simultaneously detecting touching of the presented object and a present communicative connection between the NFC interface and the second NFC interface. - View Dependent Claims (24, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
