Independent claims
What is actually asserted, verbatim.
1. A method for changing information via a target communication device by performing a specific interaction, the information originating from a user of a mobile device, the method comprising: searching, by the mobile device, for the target communication device among at least one communication device based on a distance between the at least one communication device and the mobile device; establishing, by the mobile device, a communication channel with the target communication device, in response to detection of a specified touch gesture associated with the mobile device; receiving, by the mobile device, data related to the specific interaction from the target communication device; transmitting, by the mobile device, the data related to the specific interaction to a server; and permitting the server to update the information originating from the user of the mobile device stored in the server or a storage device associated with the server based on the data related to the specific interaction, wherein the mobile device is configured to run an application program related to the specific interaction in either in a background or a foreground of the mobile device, and the target communication device is configured to run a specific interaction related program, the specific interaction related program configured to send information to the mobile device in response to the user providing an input to the target communication device, the information being associated with the specific interaction.

Abstract
A method for automatically changing information originating from at least either of a first user and a second user by using a mobile device includes steps of: (a) a first device searching second devices as a target to perform interaction and then selecting a specific second device among the searched second device to change the user-originating information; (b) the first device transmitting to, or receiving from, the specific second device data related to the interaction, if a touch gesture is detected in the first device; and (c) at least either of the first and the second devices allowing a server to update the information originating from at least either of the first user and the second user by referring to the transmitted data related to the specific interaction.
