Identification of devices on touch-sensitive surface
First Claim
1. In an interactive display device comprising a touch-sensitive surface, a method of identifying a data storage device placed on the touch-sensitive surface, the method comprising:
- detecting a presence and location of an object on the surface of the display device;
detecting the data storage device on a wireless communications channel; and
confirming that the data storage device detected on the wireless communications channel is the object detected on the surface of the display device by communicating with the data storage device over a second communications channel.

Abstract
The identification of a data storage device detected on a touch-sensitive display surface of a display device is described. In one embodiment, the presence and location of the data storage device is detected on the display surface and the data storage device is detected on a wireless communications channel. It is then confirmed that the data storage device detected on the wireless communications channel is the data storage device detected on the surface of the display device by communicating with the data storage device over a second communications channel.
