Abstract
A wireless unit includes a first motion sensitive device; communications circuitry for wirelessly communicating with a further wireless unit; and a processing device configured to compare at least one first motion vector received from the first motion sensitive device with at least one second motion vector received from a second motion sensitive device of the further wireless unit.
Claims27
A wireless unit, comprising:
- a motion sensor;
- a transceiver configured to receive wireless communications;
- and
- at least one processing device configured to respond to reception of motion information by the transceiver by sampling an output of the motion sensor and comparing the sampled output with received motion information.
A system comprising:
- a first wireless device having:
- a motion sensor;
- and
- a transceiver coupled to the motion sensor and configured to transmit motion-related information;
- and
- a second wireless device having:
- a motion sensor;
- a transceiver configured to receive wireless communications;
- and
- at least one processing device configured to respond to reception of motion-related information by the transceiver of the second wireless device by sampling an output of the motion sensor of the second wireless device and comparing the sampled output with received motion-related information.
A system, comprising:
- means for sensing motion;
- means for receiving motion-related information;
- and
- means for responding to receipt of motion-related information by sampling an output of the means for sensing motion and comparing the sampled output with received motion-related information.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless communication device, motion-related information;
- and
- responding, by the wireless communication device, to the receipt of motion-related information by:
- generating motion-related information;
- and
- comparing generated motion-related information to received motion-related information.
A method comprising:
- moving at the same time and together a first wireless unit and a second wireless unit;
- and
- while said first wireless unit and said second wireless unit are being moved,
- generating and transmitting motion vectors from the first wireless unit to the second wireless unit;
- and
- responding, by the second wireless unit, to receipt of transmitted motion vectors by:
- generating motion vectors related to movement of the second wireless unit;
- and
- comparing at least one motion vector received from the first wireless unit to at least one motion vector generated by the second wireless unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable memory medium whose contents cause a first wireless device to respond to receipt of motion vectors from a second wireless device by performing a method, the method comprising:
- generating motion vectors in response to receipt of motion vectors;
- comparing one or more generated motion vectors to one or more received motion vectors;
- and
- selectively pairing the second wireless device based on the comparing.
