Abstract: The invention relates to a method of initiating a wireless transfer of data between two electronic devices. In order to make the initiation particularly user friendly, it is proposed that a concept called “hugging” is employed. A hugging state between two electronic devices is assumed to be given if a first electronic device and a second electronic device are determined to undergo a specific motion pattern relative to each other while being at least in close vicinity to each other. Only in case such a hugging state is detected at a first device, a data transfer channel is opened for transferring data between the first device and some other device, e.g. the second device. The invention relates equally to a corresponding device and to a software program product with a corresponding software code.

Abstract: A portable diagnostic apparatus is brought proximal to a device to be diagnosed. While the device to be diagnosed is operating, a radiofrequency interference signal emitted by the device is received at the portable apparatus and a data representation of it is stored. The data representation is submitted for matching to a diagnostic signal pattern stored in a database of predetermined signal patterns. From the matching is identified and output an indication of a fault in the device to be diagnosed. In one embodiment the submitting is to the database stored in the portable apparatus itself, and in another embodiment the submitting is outputting (data cable, wireless link) the stored data representation to a diagnostic computer such as a personal computer, a peer device, or a remote diagnostic center. The RF interference signal may be one stream and the portable apparatus receives at least a second stream and both streams are used for the matching.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detection of a simultaneous occurrence of an event of a predetermined kind at a plurality of electronic devices. At least two devices detect the event and record at their end the time elapsing after this detection. Then, a communication channel is established between the devices. Once the communication channel has been established, an indication of the recorded elapsed times can be exchanged. At least one of the devices compares a recorded elapsed time with an indicated elapsed time received from another device. If both elapsed times are similar to each other, it can be assumed that the event occurred simultaneously at both devices. The invention relates equally to corresponding devices, to a corresponding data transfer system and to corresponding software program products.
