  • Patent number: 11050464
    Abstract: Disclosed is a first portable electronic device for facilitating a proximity based interaction with a second portable electronic device based on a plurality of gestures. The first portable electronic device includes at least one first sensor device configured to generate at least one of a first sensor data, a second sensor data, and a third sensor data, a first transceiver configured for communicating with a second transceiver associated with the second portable electronic device, and a first processor configured for detecting a pre-tap gesture based on the first sensor data, entering the first portable electronic device in an interaction mode based on the detecting of the pre-tap gesture, detecting a proximity based event based on the second sensor data, performing a predetermined action, detecting a post-tap gesture, determining if the post-tap gesture is detected within a predetermined time period, and performing one of an acceptance and a rejection of the predetermined action based on the determining.

  • Patent number: 10911103
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a portable electronic device for facilitating a proximity based interaction with a short range communication enabled object. Further, the portable electronic device may include a transceiver configured for transmitting a transmitted short range communication signal and receiving a received short range communication signal. Further, the portable electronic device may include a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver, configured for detecting a proximity based event based on receiving the received short range communication signal from the short range communication enabled object, analyzing the received short range communication signal based on the detecting of the proximity based event, determining a second object identifier associated with the short range communication enabled object based on the analyzing, and performing a predetermined action based on the second object identifier.
