Abstract

Numerals crossed out in abstract and typographical error corrected. A method and system for establishing a connection or service between two mobile devices within a communication network is provided. At least one of the mobile devices includes a motion detector, which detects a movement of the mobile device. Connections between the mobile devices are established based upon the detection of movement of at least one of the devices.

Claims

1. A method for establishing connection between a first electronic device and at least a second electronic device in a communication network, wherein at least said first electronic device comprise a motion detection unit adapted to detect motion of said first electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:

moving said first electronic device;

detecting said movement of said first electronic device by use of said motion detection unit;

establishing a connection between said first and second electronic device in response to said detected movement; and

setting at least said first electronic device in an active mode.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprising the steps of:

maintaining the connection between said first and second electronic device when at least said first electronic device is set in said active mode.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprising the step of:

disconnecting said first and second electronic device due to lack of detection of movement; and

setting said first electronic device in a sleep mode.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein lack of detected movement is no detected movement for a predetermined time period.

5. A system for establishing connection between electronic devices within a communication network, wherein said system comprising:

a first electronic device and at least a second electronic device;

a motion detector comprised in at least said first electronic device for detecting a movement of said first electronic device;

means for establishing connections between said first electronic device and said at least second electronic device based upon detection of movement; and

means for setting at least said first electronic device in an active mode.

6. The system according to claim 5, further comprising means for maintaining established connection between said first and at least said second electronic device when at least said first electronic device is set in said active mode.

7. The system according to claim 5, further comprising

means for disconnecting said first electronic device from at least said second electronic device due to lack of detection of movement;

and

means for setting said first electronic device in a sleep mode.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein lack of detected movement is no detected movement for a predetermined time period.

9. The system according to claim 5, wherein said system is a short range wireless system.

10. The system according to claim 5, wherein said system is a Bluetooth system or a WLAN system.
