Patent ID: 8594568

Claim:
A method of transferring application data (F 1 , F 2 ) from a first device (Ds) to a second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ) via an intermediary memory device conveyed on the person of a user, which method comprises: a) connecting the first device (Ds) to the memory device via intra-body communication, wherein said connection is established via a touch interface of the first device (Ds); b) sending a network initiation signal from the first device (Ds) to the memory device via said intra-body communication; c) exchanging connection-related data including network parameters between the first device (Ds) and the memory device via said intra-body communication to establish a first network between the first device (Ds) and the memory device; d) setting up the first network by the memory device; e) transferring application data (F 1 , F 2 ) from the first device (Ds) to the memory device over the connection between the first device (Ds) and the memory device, established on the basis of the connection-related data; f) storing the application data (F 1 , F 2 ) in a memory of the memory device; g) decoupling the first network connection between the first device (Ds) and the memory device; h) connecting the memory device to the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ) via intra-body communication, wherein said connection is established via a touch interface of the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ), wherein the touch interface comprises a number of touchable regions for a corresponding number of distinct application data transfer types; i) sending a network initiation signal from the memory device to the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ) via said intra-body communication; j) exchanging further connection-related data including network parameters between the memory device and the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ), via said intra-body communication to establish a second network between the memory device and the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ); k) setting up the second network by the memory device; l) transferring at least part of the application data (F 1 , F 2 ) from the memory of the memory device to the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ) over said second network connection, between the memory device and the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ), established on the basis of the further connection-related data, and m) decoupling the second network connection between the second device (DT 1 , DT 2 ) and the memory device.
