Abstract
A computing device is operated to detect a signal generated from an inductive signal interface. The detected signal may be generated by the device's inductive signal interface being in operational proximity to an inductive signal interface of another device. A notification feedback is generated that confirms an event related to the first and second computing device inductively signaling one another.
Claims19
A method for operating a first computing device, the method comprising:
- detecting a signal generated from an inductive signal interface provided on a front facade of the first computing device, the signal being generated by the inductive signal interface being in operational proximity to an inductive signal interface provided on a rear facade of a second computing device;
- and
- dynamically presenting a graphic notification feature, on a display of the first computing device, that confirms an event related to the first and second computing devices inductively signaling one another, the graphic notification feature being dynamically presented on different regions of the display for a duration of time.
A first computing device comprising:
- an inductive signal interface provided on a front facade of the first computing device;
- a display screen;
- one or more processors coupled to the inductive signal interface and the display screen;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first computing device to perform operations comprising:
- detect a signal generated from the inductive signal interface as a result of the inductive signal interface being in operational proximity to an inductive signal interface of a second computing device, wherein the inductive signal interface of the second computing device is provided on a rear facade of the second computing device;
- and
- dynamically present a graphic notification feature, on the display screen, that confirms an event related to the first and second computing devices being in operational proximity to inductively signal one another, the graphic notification feature being dynamically presented on different regions of the display screen for a duration of time.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a first computing device, cause the first computing device to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a signal generated from an inductive signal interface provided on a front facade of the first computing device, the signal generated by the inductive signal interface being in operational proximity to an inductive signal interface provided on a rear facade of a second computing device;
- and
- dynamically presenting a graphic notification feature, on a display of the first computing device, that confirms an event related to the first and second computing devices inductively signaling one another, the graphic notification feature being dynamically presented on different regions of the display for a duration of time.
