Using touches to transfer information between devices
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- encrypting data, at a first device, based on at least one first characteristic relating to a first pattern produced on a touch screen of the first device, where the first pattern is produced by a first user;
transmitting, using the first device and to a second device, the encrypted data;
storing the encrypted data for a predetermined period of time at the second device;
decrypting, using the second device, the encrypted data based on at least one second characteristic relating to a second pattern produced on a touch screen of the second device, and based on determining the second pattern substantially matches the first pattern, where the second pattern is produced by a second user; and
displaying the decrypted data in a decrypted format on the touch screen of the second device.

Abstract
A device may comprise a display and a processor. The processor may obtain a first set of one or more touches on a remote surface of a remote device based on a signal received on a communication link between the device and the remote device, receive information associated with the first set of one or more touches through the signal, detect a gesture on the display, and determine whether the information is to be used to obtain content based on the gesture.

7. A method performed by a device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the device and from a second device, encrypted data, where the encrypted data is encrypted based on one or more parameters associated with a gesture produced by a first user on a display of the second device; storing the encrypted data for a predetermined period of time at the device; measuring, using the device, one or more parameters associated with a gesture on a display of the device, where the gesture on the display of the device is produced by a second user, and where the measuring includes at least one of; measuring a duration of time to complete the gesture, measuring a size of a finger used for the gesture, measuring a speed of a finger movement associated with the gesture, measuring changes in capacitance of the display based on the gesture, determining a shape of a finger for each touch in connection with the gesture, measuring distances between fingers used to make the gesture, or obtaining a three-dimensional image of a finger used to make the gesture; selectively decrypting, using the device, the encrypted data based on the measured one or more parameters, and based on determining the gesture on the display of the device substantially matches the gesture on the display of the second device; and displaying the decrypted data on the display of the device in a decrypted format. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A device comprising:
-
a surface; a memory to store a set of one or more gestures associated with decrypting information; and a processor to; detect one or more touches on a remote device, receive, in response to the one or more touches, encrypted information from the remote device, where the encrypted information is encrypted based on one or more parameters associated with a gesture produced by a first user on a surface of the remote device, initiate storage of the encrypted information for a predetermined period of time, identify a gesture on the surface of the device, where the gesture on the surface of the device is produced by a second user, decrypt the information based on a comparison of the gesture on the surface to the set of one or more gestures associated with decrypting information, and based on determining the gesture on the surface of the device substantially matches the gesture on the surface of the remote device, and provide the decrypted information in a decrypted format to the second user of the device based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
