Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method and computer application for exchanging information using near field communications. In one aspect, the method comprises: transmitting a request for information from a mobile telephone through a near field communication (NFC) adapter associated with the mobile telephone. Information is then received in response to the request for information by the NFC adapter from an electronic device. The NFC tag of the electronic device is stored in the electronic phonebook of the mobile telephone. Storage of the NFC tag may be automatically and/or manually. After the initial storing of the information in the electronic phonebook, future communications between the mobile telephone and the electronic device and/or user utilize a user-friendly designation (e.g., contact information) to inform the mobile telephone user when the devices are in range for communication.

Abstract: A communication device receives a word, provides a first next word candidate list based on the received word, and provides a second next word candidate list based on a received character input by a user of the communication device. At least one word in the second next word candidate list is selected from a list associated with the received word.

Abstract: The invention relates to a portable device (1A) with a short range communication feature, and more particularly a portable device such as a mobile telephone having a man-machine interface enabling user friendly use of short range communication. With the present invention an item (6) may be selected and dragged on the display (2), e.g. towards another apparatus (1B). This action initiates an automatic data transfer procedure using short range communication.
