1. A portable computing device comprising:

  • a wireless transceiver connected to a network;

    a near field communication reader;

    an impact sensor to collect impact sensor data from an impact of the portable computing device and a second portable computing device; and

    a controller connected to the impact sensor, wherein the controller is to transmit a near field communication code and the impact sensor data from the impact sensor through the wireless transceiver to a router of the network when the impact is detected by the impact sensor and when the near field communication reader reads the near field communication code from the second portable computing device when the second portable computing device is in range of the near field communication reader when the impact is detected by the impact sensor, wherein the impact sensor data and the near field communication code are to be used by the router to identify the second portable computing device.
