COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE FOR INTELLIGENTLY ROUTING INFORMATION AMONG MULTIPLE USER INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A communications device, comprising:
- a communications module configured to receive information while performing a service; and
a controller configured to route the information to a first user interface when a power level of a battery is sufficient to operate the first user interface and to begin to route some of the information to a second user interface that is different from the first user interface as the battery begins to deplete.

Abstract
A near field communications (NFC) device is disclosed that intelligently routes NFC data from a NFC device between multiple user interfaces based upon a power level of its internal batteries. The communications device utilizes a communications device user interface to send and/or receive the NFC data from the NFC device when its internal batteries are sufficient to operate the communications device user interface. The communications device begins to route some of this NFC data from being sent and/or received by the communications device user interface to a NFC user interface as its internal batteries deplete. Eventually, all of the NFC data will be sent to and/or received by the NFC user interface as the internal batteries of the communications device become so depleted that they are unable to reliably operate the communications device user interface.
