1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
communication means for receiving and transmitting non-cellular wireless signals; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor and the communication means for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, the memory containing instructions translatable by the at least one processor to implement at least two modes of operation on the apparatus;
wherein the at least two modes of operation includes a linked mode and an entertainment mode; and
wherein a switch between the linked mode and the entertainment mode is caused by the at least one processor after a signal is received by the communication means over a non-cellular wireless connection from a wireless device capable of directly or indirectly connecting to a cellular network, an Internet protocol network, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
A non-cellular wireless entertainment phone device may have at least two modes of operation. Each of the modes of operation may have a particular set of functionality. A first set of functionality may allow phone communications through a cellular phone, a wireless device, or the Internet. Additional functionality may transform the device into an entertainment device/child'"'"'s toy or other types of devices such as a remote control, game controller, two-way radio transceiver, motion sensor, etc. A control signal may be sent from another device to cause a switching between modes.

15. A computer program product comprising:
-
a first non-transitory computer readable medium storing a first set of instructions, the first set of instructions being translatable by a first wireless device capable of directly or indirectly connecting to a cellular network, an Internet protocol network, or a combination thereof, wherein the first wireless device is equipped with a component that produces an electromagnetic field or short-wavelength radio signals; and a second non-transitory computer readable medium storing a second set of instructions, the second set of instructions being translatable by a second wireless device, wherein the second wireless device is devoid of any component that produces an electromagnetic field and wherein the second wireless device comprises; at least one processor; communication means for receiving and transmitting non-cellular wireless signals; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor and the communication means for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, the memory containing the second set of instructions, wherein when executed by the at least one processor, the second set of instructions cause the second wireless device to operate in one of a plurality of modes; and wherein the first set of instructions when executed by the first wireless device further causes the second wireless device to switch between two of the plurality of modes, wherein the plurality of modes includes a linked mode, an entertainment mode, and an update mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
