First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing system comprising:
- a first device configured to inductively pair with a second device to transmit or receive data;
wherein the first device is configured to respond to inductively pairing with the second device by (i) determining an identity or class of the second device, and (ii) performing a function for communicating with the second device;
wherein the function is performed automatically and is based on the identity or class of the second device.

Abstract
A computing device is configured to inductively communicate with one or more other devices. The device inductively communicates to (i) determine an identity or class of the second device, and (ii) perform a function that includes communicating with the second device. The function is performed automatically, and is based on the identity or class of the second device.

28. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more processors; an inductive signal interface; wherein the inductive signal interface is structured to inductively receive data from an inductive signal interface of a second device when the two devices are in sufficient proximity; wherein in response to the computing device inductively receiving the data from the second device, the one or more processors; identify a identity or class of the second device from data that is received over the inductive signal interface, and automatically perform one or more operations based on the identity or class of the second device. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)
