Homonym: Bump (Hit)
Bump is a mobile application designed to facilitate the sharing of contact information and files between users. By simply bumping two smartphones together, users can quickly exchange details like phone numbers, email addresses, and even photos without the need for manual entry or scanning QR codes. This technology uses the accelerometer in smartphones to detect the bump and initiate the transfer.
The app was developed by Bump Technologies, a company founded in 2008. It gained popularity for its user-friendly interface and innovative approach to sharing information. However, Bump Technologies was acquired by Google in 2013, and the app was eventually discontinued.
