Offline data transfer between devices using gestures

Abstract

A method for operating a first data card includes receiving a first signal from at least one sensor of a first set of sensors provided at the first data card. The method continues by detecting, based on the first signal, a movement of the first data card relative to a second data card in a first direction within a pre-selected distance from the second data card, and interpreting the relative movement of the first data card in the first direction as a card pairing gesture. The method continues by establishing a peer-to-peer connection between the first data card and the second data card, in response to the card pairing gesture, and exchanging the data with the second data card over the peer-to-peer connection.
