Abstract
The disclosure provides a method and device for data transfer between electronic devices. The method comprises detecting a first induction signal generated based on a contact with a first touch screen of a first electronic device, determining a selection of data desired to be transferred to a second electronic device, determining a gesture associated with the first induction signal, generating a data transfer request in response to the determination of the gesture and the selection, communicating the data transfer request from the first electronic device to the second electronic device and transferring the selected data to the second electronic device.
Claims16
A method for data transfer between electronic devices each of which has a touch screen, comprising:
- detecting a first induction signal generated based on a contact with a first touch screen of a first electronic device;
- determining a selection of data desired to be transferred to a second electronic device;
- determining a gesture associated with the first induction signal;
- generating a data transfer request in response to the determination of the gesture and the selection;
- communicating the data transfer request from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, wherein the data transfer request causes the second electronic device to activate a data reception function in response to receipt of a second induction signal on a second touch screen coupled to the second electronic device within a predetermined period after the data transfer request is sent by the first electronic device, and wherein the second induction signal comprises a drag-in gesture including a touch executed on the second touch screen at a displayed object representing the selected data and a subsequent drag of the displayed object executed inward from an edge of the second touch screen;
- and
- transferring the selected data to the second electronic device.
A device to transfer data between electronic devices each of which has a touch screen, comprising a processor configured to:
- detect a first induction signal generated based on a contact with a first touch screen of a first electronic device;
- determine a selection of data desired to be transferred from the first electronic device to a second electronic device;
- activate a data transfer function in response to the determination of the selection;
- communicate the data transfer request from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, wherein the data transfer request causes the second electronic device to activate a data reception function in response to receipt of a second induction signal on a second touch screen coupled to the second electronic device within a predetermined period after the data transfer request is sent by the first electronic device, and wherein the second induction signal comprises a drag-in gesture including a touch executed on the second touch screen at a displayed object representing the selected data and a subsequent drag of the displayed object executed inward from an edge of the second touch screen;
- and
- transfer the selected data to the second electronic device.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions comprising program instructions that are executed by a processor, the processor configured to:
- detect a first induction signal induced by a contact with a first touch screen of a first electronic device;
- determine a selection of data desired to be transferred to a second electronic device;
- activate a data transfer function in response to the determination of the selection;
- communicate a data transfer request from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, wherein the data transfer request causes the second electronic device to activate a data reception function in response to receipt of a second induction signal on a second touch screen coupled to the second electronic device within a predetermined period after the data transfer request is sent by the first electronic device, and wherein the second induction signal comprises a drag-in gesture including a touch executed on the second touch screen at a displayed object representing the selected data and a subsequent drag of the displayed object executed inward from an edge of the second touch screen;
- and
- transfer the selected data to the second electronic device.
