Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided. Included is a cellular phone capable of communicating via a long-range cellular network protocol and a short-range protocol. Further included is a system capable of communicating via a long-range hard-line network protocol and the short-range protocol. Thus, when the cellular phone is in the proximity of the system, the cellular phone communicates with the system utilizing the short-range protocol, so that the cellular phone is used to communicate via the long-range hard-line communication network protocol.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a cellular phone capable of communicating via a long-range cellular network protocol and a short-range protocol;
- wherein, when the cellular phone is in the proximity of a system capable of communicating via a long-range hard-line network protocol and the short-range protocol, the cellular phone is capable of communicating with the system utilizing the short-range protocol, so that the cellular phone is used to communicate via the long-range hard-line communication network protocol.
A system, comprising:
- a cellular phone component capable of communicating with a cellular phone via a short-range protocol, the cellular phone component further capable of communicating via a long-range cellular network protocol;
- wherein, when the cellular phone component is in the proximity of a system capable of communicating via a long-range hard-line network protocol and the short-range protocol, the cellular phone component is capable of communicating with the system utilizing the short-range protocol, so that the cellular phone component is used to communicate via the long-range hard-line communication network protocol.
A method, comprising:
- permitting communication utilizing a cellular phone capable of communicating via a long-range cellular network protocol and a short-range protocol;
- and
- when the cellular phone is in the proximity of a system capable of communicating via a long-range hard-line network protocol and the short-range protocol, communicating with the system utilizing the short-range protocol, so that the cellular phone is used to communicate via the long-range hard-line communication network protocol.
