Fixed display system interaction with a communication device
First Claim
1. A fixed display system operable to interact with a separate mobile communication device, comprising:
- a display system including a fixed display operable to display information;
a first sensor coupled to the display system and operable to provide a first signature and first timestamp upon detecting an occurrence of a predetermined event;
a second sensor coupled to the communication device and also operable to provide a second signature and second timestamp upon detecting the occurrence of the same predetermined event; and
a processor operable to compare the first and second signatures and timestamps and determine whether these first and second signatures describe the same predetermined event that identifies and authenticates the communication device, whereupon the processor initiates a communication session between the display system and the communication device such that the communication device performs a personalized action as a proxy for the display system without the communication device providing any personal information to the display system, wherein the display system provides a set of actions for the communication device to perform using personal information stored on the communication device.

Abstract
A fixed display system that can interact with a communication device includes a display system including a fixed display operable to display information. A sensor is operable to provide a first signature upon an occurrence of a predetermined event, and the communication device is also operable to provide a second signature upon the occurrence of the same predetermined event. A processor compares the first and second signatures and determines whether these first and second signatures describe the same predetermined event, whereupon the processor initiates a communication session between the display system and the communication device. In addition, personal information of the user on the communication device may be used locally or partially/fully transferred to the display system to provide a personalized interactive experience for the user.

15. A fixed display system operable to interact with a separate mobile communication device, comprising:
-
a display system including a fixed display operable to display information; a first sensor coupled to the display system and operable to provide a first signature and first timestamp upon detecting an occurrence of a predetermined event, wherein the first sensor is a touchscreen of the display operable to trace a changing position on the touchscreen of a user touching the screen while holding the communication device; a second sensor coupled to the communication device and also operable to provide a second signature and second timestamp upon detecting the occurrence of the same predetermined event, wherein the second sensor of the communication device includes an accelerometer, and wherein the predetermined event is a specific pattern traced on the touchscreen detectable by both the touchscreen and the accelerometer; and a processor operable to compare the first and second signatures and timestamps and determine whether these first and second signatures describe the same predetermined event that identifies and authenticates the communication device, whereupon the processor initiates a communication session between the display system and the communication device.
