First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first information processing apparatus, comprising;
a communication interface;
a heat sensor; and
a circuitry configured to;
generate a signal based on a temperature detected by the heat sensor, andsend the signal to a second information processing apparatus, using the communication interface of the first information processing apparatus, andthe second information processing apparatus, comprising;
a communication interface;
a heat generator configured to heat a surface of a device housing the second information processing apparatus; and
a circuitry configured to;
receive data from the first information processing apparatus, using the communication interface of the second information processing apparatus, andinstruct the heat generator to generate heat at a specific temperature based on the received data, wherein the specific temperature corresponds to the temperature detected by the heat sensor.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for initiating execution of actions and for communicating information to a user, and more particularly, to initiating execution of predefined actions in wearable devices and communication devices based on gestures made with the wearable devices and/or heat applied to a surface of the wearable devices. According to an aspect, the method relates to, in the wearable device, detecting a first, in the first wearable device predefined, gesture of the first wearable device, broadcasting a first signal comprising information associated with the first gesture, receiving, from a second wearable device, a second signal comprising information associated with a second gesture and initiating execution of a, in the first wearable device predefined, first action based on the first signal and the second signal.
