Assuming this would eventually become platform-independent feature because if this remain Apple-specific then whole idea is kinda defeated.
Still, this idea sounds like something China would want to have disabled - look at AirDrop issues there.
It's a patent anyway - doesn't have to be implemented. But I guess it will come in some form anyway. Because just like with operating systems, there's hardly anything practical that can be added to smartphones these days. All what's left is chasing next "exciting" thing that will bring hype and sales.
