Abstract
A system for automatically controlling short-range wireless applications on a wireless communication device. The device includes a control table that may be accessed when the physical state or orientation of the wireless communication device changes. A change of physical state and/or orientation would include, for example, opening or closing a flip cover on the device. The control table includes information which may be used to determine when to enable/disable various short-range wireless applications, and may further include security and/or prioritization information for low-power situations. The user of the wireless communication device may be notified if certain security and/or power situations exist.
