Abstract

A wireless equipment connection system includes a first terminal (1) provided with a first wireless connection interface (12) and a first control unit for starting the first wireless connection interface, and a second terminal (2) provided with a second wireless connection interface (22) and a second control unit (21) for starting the second wireless connection interface. The second terminal includes a holder (30) having a detector (31) for detecting whether or not the first terminal is set to the holder, and for outputting a set signal when detecting that the first terminal is set to the holder, and the second control unit of the second terminal starts the second wireless connection interface in response to the set signal sent from the detector, and establishes a wireless connection between the first terminal and the second terminal.

Claims

1. A wireless equipment connection system comprising:

a first terminal provided with a first wireless connection interface for performing short-distance wireless communications and a first control unit for starting said first wireless connection interface; and

a second terminal provided with a second wireless connection interface for performing short-distance wireless communications and a second control unit for starting said second wireless connection interface, wherein said second terminal includes a holder having a detector for detecting whether or not said first terminal is set to said holder, and for outputting a set signal when detecting that said first terminal is set to said holder, and said second control unit of said second terminal starts said second wireless connection interface in response to the set signal sent thereto from said detector, and establishes a wireless connection between said first terminal and said second terminal.

2. The wireless equipment connection system according to claim 1, wherein said holder includes a charge interface for supplying a charging current to said first terminal when said first terminal is set to said holder, said first terminal includes a charge detector for detecting whether or not the charging current is supplied thereto from said holder, and said first control unit of said first terminal starts said first wireless connection interface when said charge detector detects that the charging current is supplied to said first terminal so as to establish a wireless connection between said first terminal and said second terminal.

3. The wireless equipment connection system according to claim 1, wherein said second control unit of said second terminal sends a start signal to said first control unit of said first terminal in response to the set signal sent thereto from said detector, and said first control unit of said first terminal starts said first wireless connection interface in response to the start signal sent thereto from said second terminal, and establishes a wireless connection between said first terminal and said second terminal.

4. The wireless equipment connection system according to claim 2, wherein said first and second wireless connection interfaces perform short-distance wireless communications by using Bluetooth.

5. The wireless equipment connection system according to claim 3, wherein said first and second wireless connection interfaces perform short-distance wireless communications by using Bluetooth.
