    Along with discussion about BBM Meetings, they tease a couple of patents:

    "One of the patents issued on Tuesday explains how a small electronic device on a watch or lanyard could be used to grant access to a smartphone so users wouldn't have to key in a passcode.

    Another details a case that would have a touch screen so users could write notes on their device without opening the case. "

    Well, um.... that's just a NFC tag.

    Let's see here. Not that, but I did talk about adding NFC to a watch.
    The watch should have NFC tag on the back for synching to the phone and the headless app. This would help with making a quick and secure connection between the phone and the watch. ~ DeanLogic July 9th, 2014

    Now... now that would be an innovation right there. I guess that would be a capacitive case, like those gloves that let you used your touch screen.

    Or..... a flip phone?!?!?!

    Is NFC tag on a lanyard/ watch patentable?

    LOL. Like if I stick an NFC tag on my watch would that be patent infringement?
