New Apple patent, very "exciting"

Author: By Julio Cesar Fernandez and Apple .

Exiter is the name of this new invention from Apple and that comes from the hands of the web Pantently Apple. The invention shows something like the concept already used by another application that is not Apple. We refer to Bump , this great application that just shake two iPhones or Android, both connect and exchange data securely (including from one to another without being two of the same operating system).

The patent shows a system for exchanging information, wirelessly and securely between two different devices that could be not only iPhone, but iPod, Macbooks, Blackberry, cameras and even medical equipment. Additionally, this technology would apply to a new type of device that Apple classified as a bike computer, which could refer to the latest Apple patent the smart bike.

Contrary to other wireless communication systems, in this case the communication would be established through some type of intervention or physical stimulation (such as a particular gesture on the device) that replicated in the other device, generate a key that would secure wireless transmission between the two. We could make a touch screen on the two devices at once and in time it would take to establish communication be generated personal key. Also be prepared for something like what is now Bump to detect tremor or other devices of "excitement" physical (hence the name Exiter or driver)

The communication could be established for almost any existing communication protocol, not only wireless but Bluetooth, any communication protocol or band of frequencies such as GSM or 3G, including protocols such as FTP, VoIP, BitTorrent or HTTP.

In the diagram above we can see several examples of the communication interface and the different items that are on our phone that we want to share. Not just contact information, but also photos, events and assume that almost any information that is likely to switch between terminals. It seems that what Apple has done is take a great idea as Bump and try to go much further, applying it to almost any device. You can make the technology open, as they did with Facetime to try everyone's use. Certainly a great way to exchange information between devices. Now we could say, with irony and black humor that has made Apple Microsoft to Bump, or perhaps that was complete, you have to do an Oracle, or whatever it is, buy Bump, absorbing the company and its job. So the great work in the U.S. on many occasions.

Time will tell what else brings this patent.
