Abstract

A method of enhanced interaction between a first computing device and a second computing device is described. A first channel for connection between the first computing device and the second computing device using a short range communication technology and a second channel for communication between the first computing device and the second computing device using a communication technology are established. A first interaction is performed using the first channel and an additional interaction is performed using the second channel. Suitable first and second computing devices are also described.
