TapItData

Here's the concept: when two objects bump into each other, we can determine which is "above" and which is "below."
Using this, we can flow information "down" from the above object to the below object.
The internet is not needed! There are lots of applications!

Example use case

• Suppose you are working in a conference room.
• Suppose you have a document on your computer screen, and you want to print it out at a printer sitting next to you.
• How do you do it?
  • If you don't have TapItData you might:
    1. Determine the printer's network ID. Look on the printer for it. If it is not there, you will need to ask someone for it.
    2. Determine the network that is connected to the printer. Likely, you will need to ask someone for it.
    3. Determine the password for the network that is connected to the printer. Likely, you will need to ask someone for it.
    4. Go to your computer, log on to the network.
    5. Find the printer (there may be hundreds to select from) and connect to it.
    6. Print the document.
    7. This could take minutes, hours, or days!
  • If you (and the printer) have TapItData you can:
    1. Tap an intermediary device, let's say your phone, to the bottom of your computer.
       (Data flows down, so the phone now has the document.)
       
    2. Tap your phone to the top of the printer.
       (Data flows down, so the printer now prints the document.)
       
    3. Done! Elapsed time, perhaps 10 seconds.
    4. (BTW: There are privacy safeguards so security is not an issue.)

1. Tap your phone to the bottom of the printer. (Data flows down, your phone now has the printer IP address and its password.)
2. Tap your phone to the top of your computer. (Data flows down, your computer is now connected to the printer.) Done!

It's that easy.

Notes:

• A physical demo will be available soon!
• This technology is faster and more secure than Bluetooth.
• This technology does not require a network connection. (The iPhone's Quick Start and NameDrop do require a network connection.)
• The TapItData capability is completely programmable. In the example above, you might only print PDF documents and not Word documents.
• This technology has many applications:
  1. This technology can easily connect computers to routers or networks.
  2. This technology supports rapid reprogramming of lab equipment.

TapItData's Mission / Vision / Values / Goals

• Mission
  • To have tapping simplify data transfer between devices, making it easier, safer, and faster.
• Vision
  • For data transfer needs, replace UIs (user interfaces) with tapping when it improves the user experience.
• Values
  • Comprehensive – Address customer’s needs and latent desires (think Amazon).
  • Confidence – Earn customer trust by superior customer support (think Disney).
  • Privacy – Data is secure and not sold to third parties (think Apple)
  • Quality – Earn product trust by robust SW (think NASA).
  • Security – Meet high security standards including ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (think Slack).
• Goals
  • Identify industries/applications benefiting from TapItData technology and articulate the value.
  • Partner with OEMs to bring TapItData, capabilities to commercial products.
  • Ensure product capability, performance, and quality.
  • Expand TapItData, technology to address new markets.
