Abstract
A device including at least one of an NFC reader or and NFC tag. An impact sensor to detect an impact to the device. Wherein the impact to the device effects whether data is transferred to a second device.
Claims15
A portable computing device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver connected to a network;
- a near field communication (NFC) reader;
- an impact sensor;
- a controller connected to the impact sensor, wherein the controller is to transmit NFC code through the wireless transceiver to a network if an impact is detected by the impact sensor and the NFC reader reads the NFC code if a second device is in range of the NFC reader when the impact occurs.
1 more element
A portable computing device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver to connect to a second device;
- a near field communication (NFC) reader;
- an impact sensor;
- a controller connected to the impact sensor to compare impact sensor data to a threshold value and to establish a wireless connection to a second device from data read with the NFC reader to transmit the impact sensor data to the second device.
1 more element
A method of communicating NFC code from a device comprising:
- detecting an impact with an impact sensor;
- and
- allowing an NFC tag to transmit an NFC code, if the impact sensor detects an impact of more than a threshold level.
