While this may be totally crazy, it may be easier to meet other owners of Apple Watch in the future. Indeed, a new patent filed by the Cupertino details a method of exchanging files with a simple gesture, such as contact information in a simple handshake.

Like AirDrop, file exchange, first spotted by Patently Apple , would be when you shake hands with someone, but when you kiss or caress her back.

If all this is possible with the current Apple Watch with its Bluetooth and NFC chips, the patent also notes the use of the camera and audio , referring to the Apple Watch 2, which could offer such features .

A nod to business cards
This patent about Apple Watch is a strong sign that this type of information exchange would be faster than before, especially in a view to eliminating business cards. Besides, other technology companies seem to adopt such an approach. Google acquired a company named Bump for its popular application sharing the same name, but did not actually use far. Razer has created such a concept connected with a bracelet, the Razer Razer Nabu Nabu and X, calling them "social smartbands". These have had mixed results.

What this Apple patent could offer is different from the act of distinguishing events related to greetings , as does shake hands during a business lunch, or for a personal meeting, at a birthday party for example. Thus, different data may be exchanged depending on the context and the environment.

Of course, as all patents, there is no guarantee that one way the day in Apple Watch, or the hypothetical Apple Watch 2.
