Systems, devices, and methods effected in response to establishing and/or terminating a physical communications link

A method of initiating wireless communications with a first electronic device by a second electronic device, the method comprising:

• in response to an establishing of a physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices;
• transmitting electric power from the second electronic device to the first electronic device via the physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices;
• causing the first electronic device to wake from a deep sleep mode in which:
• i) a power storage component of the first electronic device is at least partially charged, and ii) a switch that is communicatively coupleable to both the power storage component and a processor of the first electronic device is in a first state in which the power storage component and the processor are communicatively isolated from one another, wherein causing the first electronic device to wake from the deep sleep mode includes triggering the switch into a second state in which the power storage component and the processor are communicatively coupled to one another;
• and
• receiving by the second electronic device from the first electronic device, via the physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices, a first identifier that identifies the first electronic device;
• and
• in response to a termination of the physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices, wirelessly transmitting by the second electronic device a request to initiate a wireless communications session, wherein the request to initiate a wireless communications session includes a representation of the first identifier that identifies the first electronic device.

A method of establishing wireless communications between a first electronic device and a second electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving electric power from the second electronic device by the first electronic device via a physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices;
• in response to receiving electric power from the second electronic device by the first electronic device via the physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices, waking from a deep sleep mode by the first electronic device, wherein in the deep sleep mode:
• i) a power storage component of the first electronic device is at least partially charged, and ii) a switch that is communicatively coupleable to both the power storage component and a processor of the first electronic device is in a first state in which the power storage component and the processor are communicatively isolated from one another, and wherein waking from the deep sleep mode by the first electronic device includes triggering the switch into a second state in which the power storage component and the processor are communicatively coupled to one another;
• providing by the first electronic device to the second electronic device, via the physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices, a first identifier that identifies the first electronic device;
• in response to a termination of the physical communications link between the first and the second electronic devices, wirelessly receiving by the first electronic device from the second electronic device a request to initiate a wireless communications session, wherein the request to initiate a wireless communications session includes a representation of the first identifier that identifies the first electronic device;
• and
• establishing the wireless communications session with the second electronic device by the first electronic device.

• wirelessly receiving the request to initiate the wireless communications session by the first electronic device;
• in response to wirelessly receiving the request to initiate the wireless communications session by the first electronic device and based on inclusion of the representation of the first identifier that identifies the first electronic device in the request to initiate a wireless communications session, wirelessly transmitting by the first electronic device an acceptance of the request to initiate the wireless communications session;
• wirelessly receiving the acceptance of the request to initiate the wireless communications session by the second electronic device;
• and
• in response to wirelessly receiving the acceptance of the request to initiate the wireless communications session by the second electronic device, establishing the wireless communications session between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
