Abstract

In one example embodiment, a display apparatus includes a memory, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to store a plurality of reference motion information associated with a plurality of services and service information regarding the plurality of services; a reader, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to read motion information, received from a mobile end device, regarding a motion that was enacted upon the mobile end device; a service selector, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to compare the read motion information with the stored plurality of reference motion information to select a service from among the stored plurality of services; and a stationary display, implemented as part of the display apparatus that is physically separated from the mobile end device, configured to display an expression of the selected service.

Claims

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a reader, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to read real-time motion information, received from a mobile end device, regarding a real-time motion that was enacted upon the mobile end device with respect to the reader of the display apparatus at the time when the mobile end device is touching or approaching the reader of the display apparatus;

a memory, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to store a plurality of reference motion information associated with a plurality of services and service information regarding the plurality of services,

wherein each of the plurality of reference motion information is associated with a reference motion enacted upon the mobile end device with respect to the reader of the display apparatus at the time when the mobile end device is touching or approaching the reader of the display apparatus;

a service selector, implemented as part of the display apparatus and configured to compare the read real-time motion information with the stored plurality of reference motion information to select a service from among the stored plurality of services; and

a stationary display, implemented as part of the display apparatus and that is physically separated from the mobile end device, configured to display an expression of the selected service.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the service selector is further configured to determine that a similarity between the read real-time motion information and one of the stored plurality of reference motion information is quantifiable to be at least a predetermined value, and

wherein the service selector is configured to select the service based on the similarity.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reader is configured to read the real-time motion information that is received from the mobile end device via a wireless network between the display apparatus and the mobile end device, and

wherein the wireless network enables at least one of a near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth, and peer to peer (P2P) communication protocol.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the service selector is configured to select the service further based on a time at which the reader reads the real-time motion information from the mobile end device.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stationary display is further configured to display at least a portion of the reference motion information from among the plurality of reference motion information.
