Abstract
A communication system includes a wireless interface including a transmitter, receiver, and a programmable device responsive to a communication signal to switch a communication mode in accordance with the communication signal. A module is coupled to the wireless interface and includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory includes a protocol sensor configured to identify a given protocol for received information and employ a corresponding software protocol for further communications.
