摘要： Methods and systems for conducting communication between mobile devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of achieving communications between first and second mobile devices that are in proximity with one another includes transmitting a first signal from the first mobile device and receiving a first reflected signal at that mobile device, the first reflected signal being the first signal reflected by an object in proximity to that mobile device. The method also includes transmitting a second signal from the first mobile device for receipt by the second mobile device upon being reflected by the object, and receiving a confirmation signal from the second mobile device in response to the second signal. The method further includes achieving a paired relationship of the first mobile device relative to the second mobile device, whereby because of the paired relationship the first and second mobile devices are capable of additional communications therebetween.

摘要： A method for detecting a gesture and controlling an electronic device includes providing a sensing assembly including at least one photoreceiver and a plurality of phototransmitters, wherein each phototransmitter emits infrared light; controlling the emisson of infrared light by each of the phototransmitters during each of a plurality of time periods during movement of an external object in a geometric shape relative to the electronic device. For each of the plurality of phototransmitters and for each of the plurality of time periods, a corresponding measured signal is generated which is indicative of a respective amount of infrared light which originated from that phototransmitter during that time period and was reflected by the external object prior to being received by the photoreceiver. The measured signals are evaluated to identify the geometric shape; and the electronic device is controlled in response to the identification of the geometric shape.

摘要： A method for detecting a gesture in a geometric shape and controlling an electronic device includes providing a sensing assembly including at least one photoreceiver and a plurality of phototransmitters, wherein each phototransmitter emits infrared light away from the electronic device about a corresponding central transmission axis, wherein each central transmission axis is oriented in a different direction with respect to the others; and controlling the emission of infrared light by each of the phototransmitters during each of a plurality of time periods during movement of an external object in a geometric shape relative to the electronic device. For each of the plurality of phototransmitters and for each of the plurality of sequential time periods, a corresponding measured signal is generated which is indicative of a respective amount of infrared light which originated from that phototransmitter during that time period and was reflected by the external object prior to being received by the photoreceiver. The measured signals are evaluated over time to identify the geometric shape; and the electronic device is controlled in response to the identification of the geometric shape.

摘要： Disclosed are devices and methods of an electronic device configured to adaptably process arbitrary conditions to provide a user options for initiating or activating a non-display electronic function of the device. A user is free to determine how to position or orient the device. To determine in real-time, arbitrary conditions of the device, the disclosed devices and methods of an electronic device include determining that the electronic device is at rest and then acquiring a reference in response to determining that the electronic device is at rest. In this way, the device may assume any position or orientation to acquire a reference. Subsequently, subtle movement of the electronic device relative to the acquired reference may be detected to initiate a non-display electronic function of the electronic device. The user therefore may make choices inconspicuously and privately as to which non-display electronic function to initiate.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and devices for controlling particular user interface functions of a mobile communication device when the device is used by a driver of a moving vehicle. A disclosed method includes determining if the mobile communication device is within a predetermined proximity to the driver's seat. The method further includes determining if the mobile communication device is moving at a predetermined speed or acceleration. When those conditions are met, the method includes substantially disabling particular user interface functions of the mobile communication device. Particular user interface functions that may be disabled or inhibited may include, for example, at least one of a display function, a keypad function or a touchscreen function. In this way, a driver may not be able to utilize one or more particular user interface functions while driving.

摘要： A method of a wireless communication device for accessing secure resources of a resource provider or the device itself. A password associated with the wireless communication device is identified. A password identifier is assigned to the password and a non-password identifier is assigned to a non-password different from the password. The password identifier has a non-sequential association with the non-password identifier. The password identifier, the password, the non-password identifier, and the non-password are provided at a user interface of the wireless communication device. Access to a secure resource is granted in response to determining that the password identifier has been detected at the user interface.
