USING TOUCHES TO TRANSFER INFORMATION TO A DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a signal comprising information about a touch pattern on a tag;
identifying the touch pattern based on the received signal;
validating tag-specific information in the received signal by comparing the identified touch pattern and information that is stored prior to receiving the signal; and
performing an action that is specified by the tag-specific information if the tag-specific information is validated.

Abstract
A device may receive a signal that includes information about a touch pattern on a surface of the tag, identify the touch pattern based on the received signal, validate tag-specific information in the received signal by comparing the identified touch pattern and information that is stored prior to receiving the signal, and perform an action that is specified by the tag-specific information if the tag-specific information is validated.

12. A computer-readable memory, comprising computer-executable instructions for:
-
receiving a signal from a remote tag; identifying one or more touches on the remote tag based on the received signal, identifying a gesture based on the identified one or more touches, extracting parameters from the identified gesture, comparing the extracted parameters to stored parameters, and communicating with a remote device based on information that is provided by the received signal if comparing the extracted parameters to the stored parameters results in a match. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A device comprising:
-
means for identifying a gesture on a surface of a tag based on a signal from the tag; means for determining if parameters that characterize the gesture match parameters that are stored in the device; and means for performing an action with one or more remote devices that are connected to a network based on information that is provided in the signal if the parameters that characterize the gesture match the parameters that are stored in the device.
