Abstract
A hand-held electronic device and data transfer method are disclosed. The device may comprise a case, a processor and a memory. A case motion sensor and a remote device detector may be coupled to the processor. A communication interface may be coupled to the memory and processor. The processor may be programmed with instructions that, when executed cause the device to recognize a remote device, recognize a gesture from resulting from motion of the case, and transfer data from the hand-held device to the remote device or vice versa in response to recognition of the gesture. Alternatively, the instructions may cause the device to identify data to be transferred from a source to a destination, identify the source and/or destination, recognize a gesture resulting from motion of the case, and transfer the data from the source to the destination in response to recognition of the gesture.
