Communication system providing data transfer direction determination based upon motion and related methods
First Claim
1. A mobile communication device comprising:
- a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
detecting a triggering event for data transfer;
responsive to the triggering event, determining relative movement between the mobile communication device and an electronic device, wherein the relative movement is determined according to a first acceleration of the mobile communication device exceeding a threshold without a physical contact between the mobile communication device and the electronic device; and
responsive to the relative movement being determined, determining whether to transmit data to the electronic device, receive data from the electronic device, or both transmit data to and receive data from the electronic device, based upon the relative movement between the mobile communication device and the electronic device.

Abstract
A communication system may include at least one electronic device configured to wirelessly communicate via a short-range communications format, and at least one mobile communications device. The at least one mobile communications device may include a short-range communications device configured to wirelessly communicate with the at least one electronic device via the short-range communications format, and a controller coupled to the short-range communications device. The controller may be configured to determine a state of movement of the at least mobile communications device, and determine a direction of communication with respect to the at least one electronic device based upon the determined state of movement.

13. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a processing system including a processor, initiation of short-range communication between a mobile communication device and an electronic device; responsive to the initiation of the short-range communication, determining, by the processing system, relative movement between the mobile communication device and an electronic device, wherein the relative movement is determined according to a first acceleration of the mobile communication device exceeding a threshold; and responsive to the relative movement being determined, determining, by the processing system, whether to transmit data to the electronic device, receive data from the electronic device, or both transmit data to and receive data from the electronic device, based upon the relative movement between the mobile communication device and the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
