Secure tap to transfer objects

Abstract

An embodiment provides a method, including: detecting two devices are proximate to one another utilizing a device component; comparing received device motion information to a predetermined motion; and after matching the received device motion information to a predetermined motion, transferring an object between the two devices. Other aspects are described and claimed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method, comprising: detecting two devices are proximate to one another utilizing a device component;
 comparing received device motion information from at least one device to a predetermined motion; and 
 after matching the received device motion information to a predetermined motion, transferring an object between the two devices; 
 determining a permission level associated with the predetermined motion; and 
 determining if the permission level matches the object to be transferred; 
 wherein the transferring is not performed if the permission level does not match the object. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined motion is obtained by accessing a store of device motion information. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the comparing consists of an orientation comparison. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 3 , wherein the two devices are paired responsive to matching the received device orientation information to a predetermined orientation. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining timing information of received device movement information; and 
 comparing the timing information of the device movement information to expected timing information; 
 wherein the transferring is not performed if the timing information does not match the expected timing information. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the device motion information comprises device motion information of a device selected from an object transferring device and an object receiving device. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the device motion information comprises device motion information of both the object transferring device and the object receiving device. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the permission level determines a quality of the object to be transferred. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transferring an object between the two devices comprises transferring the objects wirelessly using short range device to device communication. 
     
     
       10. An information handling device, comprising:
 a processor; and 
 a memory device storing instructions executable by the processor to: 
 detect two devices are proximate to one another utilizing a device component; 
 compare received device motion information from at least one device to a predetermined motion; and 
 after matching the received device motion information to a predetermined motion, transfer an object between the two devices; 
 wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to: 
 determine a permission level associated with the predetermined motion; and 
 determine if the permission level matches the object to be transferred; 
 wherein transferring is not performed if the permission level does not match the object. 
 
     
     
       11. The information handling device of  claim 10 , wherein the predetermined motion is obtained by accessing a store of device motion information. 
     
     
       12. The information handling device of  claim 10 , wherein to compare consists of an orientation comparison. 
     
     
       13. The information handling device of  claim 12 , wherein the two devices are paired responsive to matching the received device orientation information to a predetermined orientation. 
     
     
       14. The information handling device of  claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:
 determine timing information of received device movement information; and 
 compare the timing information of the device movement information to expected timing information; 
 wherein transferring is not performed if the timing information does not match the expected timing information. 
 
     
     
       15. The information handling device of  claim 10 , wherein the device motion information comprises device motion information of a device selected from an object transferring device and an object receiving device. 
     
     
       16. The information handling device of  claim 10 , wherein the device motion information comprises device motion information of both the object transferring device and the object receiving device. 
     
     
       17. The information handling device of  claim 10 , wherein the permission level determines a quality of the object to be transferred. 
     
     
       18. A program product, comprising:
 a storage medium comprising computer readable program code, the computer readable program code comprising: 
 computer readable program code that detects two devices are proximate to one another utilizing a device component; 
 computer readable program code that compares received device motion information from at least one device to a predetermined motion; 
 computer readable program code that, after matching the received device motion information to a predetermined motion, transfers an object between the two devices; 
 computer readable program code that determines a permission level associated with the predetermined motion; and 
 computer readable program code that determines if the permission level matches the object to be transferred; 
 wherein transferring is not performed if the permission level does not match the object.
