Abstract
A portable subscriber device that is arranged and constructed to augment and facilitate interfaces to the device includes a wireless local area transceiver; an internal user interface; and a controller coupled to the internal user interface and the wireless local area transceiver. These elements are cooperatively operable for executing the method including: detecting an external device that is capable of providing an interface to the portable subscriber device; determining whether the external device is available as an interface to the portable subscriber device; and when available as an interface, establishing a wireless link between the portable subscriber device and the external device that will support the interface.
Claims20
A method of providing a more effective interface to a portable subscriber device, the method including:
- detecting an external device that is capable of providing an interface to the portable subscriber device;
- determining whether said external device is available as an interface to the portable subscriber device;
- and
- when available as an interface, establishing a wireless link between the portable subscriber device and said external device, said link logically supporting said interface.
A portable subscriber device arranged and constructed to augment and facilitate interfacing to the portable subscriber device, the portable subscriber device comprising:
- a wireless local area transceiver;
- and
- a controller coupled to said wireless local area transceiver, both cooperatively operable for:
- detecting an external device that is capable of providing an interface to the portable subscriber device;
- determining whether said external device is available as an interface to the portable subscriber device;
- and
- when available as an interface, establishing a wireless link between the portable subscriber device and said external device, said link logically supporting said interface.
