Data transfer using hand-held device
First Claim
1. A hand-held electronic device, comprising:
- a case;
a processor;
a memory;
a case motion sensor coupled to the processor;
a remote device detector coupled to the processor; and
a communication interface coupled to the memory and processor, wherein the communication interface is configured to facilitate transfer of data between the hand-held electronic device and a remote device, wherein the processor is programmed with instructions that, when executed cause the hand-held device to recognize a remote device from a signal generated by the remote device detector, recognize a gesture from a signal generated by the case motion sensor as a result of motion of the case; and
transfer data with the communication interface from the hand-held device to the remote device or vice versa in response to recognition of the gesture.

Abstract
A hand-held electronic device and data transfer method are disclosed. The device may comprise a case, a processor and a memory. A case motion sensor and a remote device detector may be coupled to the processor. A communication interface may be coupled to the memory and processor. The processor may be programmed with instructions that, when executed cause the device to recognize a remote device, recognize a gesture from resulting from motion of the case, and transfer data from the hand-held device to the remote device or vice versa in response to recognition of the gesture. Alternatively, the instructions may cause the device to identify data to be transferred from a source to a destination, identify the source and/or destination, recognize a gesture resulting from motion of the case, and transfer the data from the source to the destination in response to recognition of the gesture.
