Abstract
A method of data transfer between wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) is described. The WTRUs may be within a given geographic area of each other or in communication with the same network. Location information relating to the WTRUs may be determined. The location information may be presented to a user of the WTRU. Data may be transferred from one WTRU to a target WTRU based on user input. The WTRU may determine the target WTRU based on user input and/or location information. The user input may be a gestural input. The gestural input may be received via a display or touchscreen. The user input may identify a given action or identify a particular file for transfer. The WTRU may receive data from the target WTRU.
Claims20
A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- detecting, at the WTRU, information relating to at least one candidate WTRU in a geographic area associated with the WTRU;
- receiving, at the WTRU, user input that includes a gestural input and a selection of data for transfer between the WTRU and a target WTRU;
- processing, at the WTRU, the user input and the information;
- identifying, at the WTRU, the target WTRU from the at least one candidate WTRU based at least in part on the user input;
- and
- transmitting the selected data to the target WTRU.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a processor configured to detect information relating to at least one candidate WTRU in a geographic area associated with the WTRU;
- a display configured to receive user input that includes a gestural input and a selection of data for transfer between the WTRU and a target WTRU;
- the processor configured to:
- process the user input and the information;
- and
- identify the target WTRU from the at least one candidate WTRU based at least in part on the user input;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the selected data to the target WTRU.
A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- determining, at the WTRU, location information relating to at least one candidate WTRU;
- receiving input, at the WTRU, that includes a selection of a target WTRU of the at least one candidate WTRU and a selected action;
- associating, at the WTRU, the target WTRU with one of the at least one candidate WTRUs based at least in part on the input and the location information;
- generating, at the WTRU, data to be transmitted to the target WTRU based at least in part on the input;
- and
- transmitting the data to the target WTRU.
