Abstract
A method for wirelessly connecting a first device with an external second device includes wirelessly communicating between the first device and the external second device. Based on the wireless communication, the first device causes displaying of a dynamic graphic pattern on a display of the external second device. The dynamic graphic pattern having a shape that changes over time. A camera of the first device receives the dynamic graphic pattern. The first device recognizes the dynamic graphic pattern associated with the external second device. Data is wirelessly transferred between the first device and the external second device based on the recognized dynamic graphic pattern.
Claims21
A method for wirelessly connecting transferring data between a first device with and an external second device, comprising:
- wirelessly communicating between the first device and the external second device identifying, by the first device, the external second device;
- based on the wireless communication the external second device being identified, causing, by the first device, a dynamic graphic pattern to be displayed on a display of the external second device, the dynamic graphic pattern having a shape that changes over time;
- receiving, by a camera of the first device, the dynamic graphic pattern;
- recognizing, by the first device, the dynamic graphic pattern associated with the external second device;
- and
- wirelessly transferring data between the first device and the external second device based on the recognized dynamic graphic pattern.
A first electronic device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing one or more programs for execution of the processor, the one or more programs including instructions to:
- wirelessly communicate with an external second device identify the external second device;
- based on the wireless communication the external second device being identified, cause a dynamic graphic pattern to be displayed on a display of the external second device, the dynamic graphic pattern having a shape that changes over time;
- receive, by a camera of the first electronic device, the dynamic graphic pattern;
- recognize the dynamic graphic pattern associated with the external second device;
- and
- wirelessly transfer data between the first electronic device and the external second device based on the recognized dynamic graphic pattern.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium that includes a program that when executed by a processor performs a method comprising:
- wirelessly communicating between the first device and the external second device identifying, by the first device, the external second device;
- based on the wireless communication the external second device being identified, causing, by the first device, a dynamic graphic pattern to be displayed on a display of the external second device, the dynamic graphic pattern having a shape that changes over time;
- receiving, by a camera of the first device, the dynamic graphic pattern;
- recognizing, by the first device, the dynamic graphic pattern associated with the external second device;
- and
- wirelessly transferring data between the first device and the external second device based on the recognized dynamic graphic pattern.
