Wireless media system-on-chip and player

A wireless audio apparatus, comprising:

• a system-on-chip device, comprising:
• a Bluetooth radio device and antenna to transmit and receive data wirelessly via a Bluetooth communication protocol, the Bluetooth radio device being coupled to a Bluetooth sequencer to execute at least one layer of a Bluetooth stack;
• a Near Field Communication (NFC) module including a first NFC tag to selectively retrieve and provide wireless connectivity data via a NFC communication link;
• a digital signal processor (DSP) and coder-decoder (CODEC) device to process and output at least one audio signal received via the Bluetooth radio device;
• a input/output interface to receive input selections and output operation information to a user;
• a memory device;
• a processor coupled to the NFC module, the Bluetooth sequencer, the input/output interface, and the DSP and CODEC to control the at least one operation thereof, and to retrieve data stored in the memory device;
• and
• a power management device to control the power supplied to at least one the NFC module, the Bluetooth sequencer, the input/output interface, and the DSP and CODEC during one or more states of operation of the system-on-chip device;
• and
• at least one speaker to output the audio signal processed by the DSP and CODEC device.

An apparatus comprising:

• a system-on-chip package having an integrated circuit including:
• a wireless communication transceiver to communicate with an external device over a wireless communication channel;
• another wireless communication transceiver to communicate with the external device over a near proximity wireless communication channel independently of the wireless communication channel;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the another wireless communication transceiver and to store therein device-descriptive data to be transmitted to the external device over the near proximity wireless communication channel;
• and
• an output module to generate a user-perceptible output from data transmitted over the wireless communication channel.
