METHOD AND PLATFORM FOR GESTURAL TRANSFER OF DIGITAL CONTENT FOR MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A platform which interacts between a first mobile device and at least one other device, comprising:
- a gesture recognition application on the first mobile device which detects, when a user is holding the first mobile device, whether the user is performing a specific gesture indicative of a desire to initiate a transfer of data from the first mobile device, and which initiates the transfer of the data to the at least one other device upon detection of the specific gesture; and
a receiving application on the at least one other device which receives the data sent by the first mobile device.

Abstract
A platform is provided which allows for gesture-initiated transfer of digital content from a mobile device to at least one other device which may also be a mobile device. The platform includes an application that leverages components which help in determining the pose of the mobile device. Upon detecting a gesturing motion (e.g., a throwing or casting motion), the system begins transfer of digital content (such as the current application or a set of pre-packaged information) to the at least one other device. The throwing or casting direction is analyzed to determine the appropriate device or devices to receive the content.

15. A mobile device, comprising:
-
a monitoring system for monitoring the mobile device and determining if a change in at least one of a position and an orientation of the mobile device is indicative of a specific gesture; a network component for transmitting and receiving data packets; a memory component for retaining content to be transferred; and a processor coupled to said monitoring system, said network component and said memory component for initiating transfer of content from said memory component to another device via said network component when said monitoring system determines that a change in said at least one of the position and the orientation of the mobile device is indicative of a specific gesture. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
