DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN WIRELESS DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for controlling communication of data in wireless communications, implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- detecting environment information relating to at least one candidate WTRU operating in a local area associated with the WTRU;
receiving user input;
processing the user input and the environment information; and
identifying at least one candidate WTRU as a target WTRU based at least in part on the user input, and wherein the user input relates to a selection of data for transfer between the WTRU and the target WTRU.

Abstract
A method of data transfer between wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) is performed by a sending communication device soliciting environment information relating to active communication devices operating within the local area of the WTRU. The local area of the WTRU may be determined by an environment variable that may be configured to indicate a search radius. Within the local area, information relating to active candidate WTRUs is received through a communication peripheral. User actions on the user interface are converted to electromechanical signals which act as an input along with the environment information to select a target WTRU from the candidate WTRUs to receive the data transfer. The environment information and user input are used to uniquely discriminate the target WTRU as the intended recipient of the data transfer. Transmission instructions are generated based on the solicited information and the user input.

13. A method of transmitting data between a sending wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and at least one receiving WTRU, the method comprising:
-
receiving a gestural user input, wherein the gesture is directed toward a desired receiving WTRU; analyzing an electromagnetic spectrum in a local area of the sending WTRU; identifying at least one candidate WTRU operating in the electromagnetic spectrum and the local area of the sending WTRU; processing the user input to select a target WTRU from the identified at least one candidate WTRU; and transmitting data to the target WTRU.

14. A method of data transfer between a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), the method comprising:
-
at a sending WTRU, soliciting environment information relating to active communication devices in a local area of the sending WTRU; identifying a media element stored in a file system of the sending WTRU; receiving a physical input from a user at the sending WTRU; converting the physical input to an electromechanical signal; selecting a target WTRU based on the electromechanical signal and the environment information; generating configuration information and target transmission instructions based on the selected media element; and instructing a communication peripheral to transmit the selected media element to the selected target WTRU based on the generated configuration information and transmission instructions. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
