WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method of transferring data between a first device and a second device comprising:
- bringing a first object into an activation zone of a near-field communication module so as thereby to establish a near-field communication link between said module and said first object;
said near-field communication module sending a control signal to at least one of said first and second device to begin a second communication session through a second, different channel between said first and second devices;
transferring said data between said first device and said second device in said second communication session; and
ending said second communication session if said first object is removed from said activation zone.

Abstract
A method of transferring data between a first device and a second device comprises: bringing a first object into an activation zone of a near-field communication module so as thereby to establish a near-field communication link between the module and the first object. The near-field communication module sends a control signal to at least one of the first and second devices to begin a second communication session through a second, different channel between the first and second devices and the data is transferred between the first device and the second device in the second communication session. The second communication session is ended if the first object is removed from the activation zone.

3. A method of transferring data between a first device and a second device comprising:
-
bringing a first object into an activation zone of a near-field communication module so as thereby to establish a near-field communication link between said module and said first object; said near-field communication module sending a control signal to at least one of said first and second device to change a second communication session through a second, different channel between said first and second devices from a first state to a second state; transferring said data between said first device and said second device in said second communication session; and changing said second communication session from the second state to the first state if said first object is removed from said activation zone. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system comprising a first device and a second device arranged to:
-
establish a near-field communication link between a near-field communication module and a first object when said first object is brought into an activation zone of said module; send a control signal from said near-field communication module to at least one of said first and second device to begin a second communication session through a second, different channel between said first and second devices; transfer data between said first device and said second device in said second communication session; and end said second communication session if said first object is removed from said activation zone.

31. A near-field communication module arranged to:
-
establish a near-field communication link with a first object when said first object is brought into an activation zone of said module; send a control signal to at least one of a first and second device to begin a second communication session through a second, different channel between said first and second devices; and end said second communication session if said first object is removed from said activation zone.

32. A device comprising a near-field communication module arranged to:
-
establish a near-field communication link with a first object when said first object is brought into an activation zone of said module; send a control signal to begin a second communication session through a second, different channel between said device and a further device; and end said second communication session if said first object is removed from said activation zone.
