Abstract
A method for operating an electronic device wireless communicable with an assist device transmitting information for state synchronization about at least one function in a first situation, and suspending the transmission of the information for state synchronization in a second situation. Also, other embodiments including an electronic device wireless communicable with an assist device and a system including an electronic device and an assist device are also provided.
Claims30
A method for operating an electronic device wirelessly connectable with an assist device, the method comprising:
- transmitting information for state synchronization about at least one function in a first situation;
- and
- suspending the transmission of the information for state synchronization in a second situation.
An electronic device connectable with an assist device, the device comprising:
- a communication module configured to transmit information for state synchronization about at least one function in a first situation;
- and
- a processor configured to suspend the transmission of the information for state synchronization in a second situation through the communication module.
A method for operating an electronic device wirelessly communicable with an assist device, the method comprising:
- coupling the electronic device and the assist device;
- receiving a signal for an incoming call by the electronic device;
- synchronizing the reception of the signal with the assist device;
- determining through which one of the electronic device and the assist device a user attempts to receive the incoming call;
- after the user selects the assist device for the incoming call, synchronizing data of the incoming call with the assist device;
- and
- after the user selects the electronic device for the incoming call, suspending the synchronization of the data of the incoming call with the assist device.
An electronic device wirelessly connectable with an assist device, the device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- couple the electronic device and the assist device wirelessly;
- receive a signal for an incoming call by the electronic device;
- and
- synchronize the reception of the signal with the assist device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine through which one of the electronic device and the assist device a user attempts to receive the incoming call;
- after the user selects the assist device for the incoming call, cause the transceiver to synchronize data of the incoming call with the assist device;
- and
- after the user selects the electronic device for the incoming call, cause the transceiver to suspend the synchronization of the data of the incoming call with the assist device.
A communication system comprising:
- an assist device configured to:
- couple the electronic device and the assist device;
- an electronic device configured to:
- receive a signal for an incoming call by the electronic device;
- synchronize the reception of the signal with the assist device;
- determine through which one of the electronic device and the assist device a user attempts to receive the incoming call;
- after the user selects the assist device for the incoming call, cause the transceiver to synchronize data of the incoming call with the assist device;
- and
- after the user selects the electronic device for the incoming call, cause the transceiver to suspend the synchronization of the data of the incoming call with the assist device.
