  • System and method for detecting three dimensional gestures to initiate and complete the transfer of application data between networked devices
    Patent number: 9910499
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting a three-dimensional gesture are provided. The method includes detecting, by at least one three dimensional motion sensing input device embedded in a network having a plurality of interconnected hardware, a three-dimensional gesture of a user, selecting, based on the detected gesture, application data corresponding to an application being executed, stored or displayed on a first device in the network to be transmitted to a second device in the network, transmitting the selected application data to hardware and software associated with the second device, and performing at least one of executing, storing or displaying the selected application data on the second device, wherein the at least one three dimensional motion sensing input device comprises gesture detection hardware and software.

  • Apparatus and method for power state transition via near field communication
    Patent number: 9042826
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for power state transition via Near Field Communication (NFC) are provided. The apparatus includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) transceiver for generating a trigger signal in response to presence of another NFC device within an NFC communication range of the NFC transceiver, and a controller for controlling the apparatus to transition to or from a wake state when the trigger signal is received from the NFC transceiver.
