Method and apparatus to prevent receiver desensitization from radiated hdmi signals in accessor or computing devices

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a processor;
• a wireless receiver that operates in at least one frequency band having at least one frequency channel;
• a first physical communication interface coupled to the processor that enables connection of the wireless communication device to a corresponding device interface mechanism of a second device;
• a storage accessible to the processor and having stored thereon at least one data structure that provides at least one mapping of (a) device identifying information for various device types and models of approved second devices with (b) a corresponding set of candidate values mapped to each of the at least one configurable operating parameter associated with an operation of the HDMI and the identified second device type and model, wherein the set of candidate values for each of the at least one configurable operating parameter comprises at least one of (a) a first set of candidate values for a corresponding configurable operating parameter for the drive signal level of signals communicated over the HDMI, (b) a second set of candidate values for a corresponding configurable operating parameter for a delivery of content to the second device via the communicated signals, and (c) a third set of candidate values for a corresponding configurable operating parameter for other operations of the second device;
• configuration logic associated with the processor that in response to a connection of the wireless communication device to the second device via the first physical communication interface:
• receives device identifying information about the second device to which the wireless communication device is connected via a first physical communication interface;
• determines, for each of at least one configurable operating parameter associated with an operation of the connected second device, a set of candidate values that are mapped to a corresponding configurable operating parameter, based on the received device identifying information;
• in response to determining the set of candidate values, the processor dynamically selects a candidate value, from among the set of candidate values, for configuring the corresponding configurable operating parameter, based on at least one of (a) a current operating frequency band of the wireless communication device;
• (b) a current operating channel of the wireless communication device;
• (c) a level of harmonic interference expected within the current operating frequency band of the wireless communication device;
• and
• configuration logic associated with the first physical communication interface that automatically configures each of the at least one configurable operating parameter with a corresponding selected candidate value, wherein said automatically configuring with the corresponding selected candidate value results in a mitigation of at least one of a radiated noise level and a harmonic interference within the current operating frequency band of the wireless communication device.
