According to various exemplary embodiments, user input of a single continuous gesture from a touch-sensitive surface of a first device to a touch-sensitive surface of a second device is detected. It is determined that the gesture corresponds to a drag-and-drop operation performed on an icon displayed on the touch-sensitive surface of the first device, the icon representing user profile information. Moreover, it is determined that the gesture terminates proximate to a job position user interface element in a job recruitment user interface window displayed on the touch-sensitive surface of the second device. Thereafter, the user profile information of the user is transferred from the first device to the second device.

Slide to apply

Systems and methods for pairing electronic devices are provided. In an example embodiment, first motion capture data corresponding to a physical user motion is received from a first device. Second motion capture data corresponding to the physical user motion is received from a second device. Features are extracted from the first motion capture data and the second motion capture data. An association between the first device and the second device is determined based on a comparison of the extracted features. In response to identifying the association between the first and second device, a communicative coupling between the first device and the second device is initiated.

Mobile device pairing

Tools (systems, apparatuses, methodologies, computer program products, etc.) for pairing electronic devices including touchscreen-enabled electronic devices, and for facilitating communication between paired electronic devices.

Systems and methods for pairing electronic devices are provided. In an example embodiment, geolocation data for a first device and a second device is received. Based on determining the first device is within a predetermined distance of the second device using the geolocation data, gesture data of the first device and second device is accessed. An association between the first device and the second device is identified based on the gesture data. A communicative coupling is initiated between the first device and the second device in response to identifying the association.
