METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SENDING DATA RELATING TO A TARGET TO A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for receiving, in a mobile device, data relating to a target, comprising the steps of:
- a) moving the mobile device to indicate the target;
b) computing a vector having an origin at the mobile device and a direction pointing toward the target in response to the moving of the mobile device;
c) sending the vector and a request for the data relating to the target from the mobile device to a server to identify the target and receive the data relating to the target; and
d) receiving the data relating to the target at the mobile device.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for sending data relating to a target to a mobile device. Upon moving the mobile device to indicate the target, a vector having an origin at the mobile device and a direction pointing toward the target is computed. The vector is sent to a server for identifying the target. Data relating to the target is sent to the mobile device. The mobile device preferably has a location detecting device, a movements measuring system measuring its movements, a logic module computing the vector and first and second communication modules for exchanging data with the server. The server has first and second communications modules for exchanging data with the mobile device and a logic module for identifying the target using the vector and the location of the target.
