20120309373 | Proximity-Based Application Activation - An application is caused to be executed on a computing device in response to a particular mobile computing device entering a range of a particular wireless source. One example of an application that is executed is a call forwarding application for directing voice calls intended for the mobile computing device coupled to a cellular network to a land line network such that a user may receive calls at a telephone connected to the land line network. In another example, when the mobile computing device is within range of a particular wireless source, an electronic device (e.g., light, heating system, air conditioner) may be activated by the application that is executed. In still another example, the executing application may cause data that is stored on the mobile computing device to be transferred to the computing device. | 12-06-2012 |
