1. A communication system, comprising:
- a peripheral device having a detector configured to provide a detector output indicating a peripheral device donned state or peripheral device doffed state; and
a sensory control application, wherein the sensory control application enables sensory output at the peripheral device responsive to the detector output.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically routing sensory data, such as audio communications, to peripheral devices, such as headsets, from host devices, such as mobile phones, is described. The peripheral devices employ Don/Doff sensors whose status directs the flow of sensory information (e.g., audio information) between the peripheral device (e.g., the headset) and the host device (e.g., a mobile phone). In alternative embodiments, a proximity sensor in the host device may supplement or enhance the flow of sensory information between the host device and the peripheral device.
