SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING A WIRELESS CONNECTION BETWEEN A COMPUTING DEVICE AND A PERIPHERAL MODULE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing a wireless connection between a computing device and a peripheral module, the method comprising:
- detecting a mechanical coupling between the peripheral module and the computing device;
identifying a first function of the mechanically coupled peripheral module;
comparing the first function to a preapproved function; and
managing the wireless connection between the peripheral module and the computing device based on the comparison of the first function to the preapproved function.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a wireless connection between a computing device and a peripheral module are provided. In some aspects, a computer-implemented method includes detecting a mechanical coupling between the peripheral module and the computing device. The method also includes identifying a first function of the mechanically coupled peripheral module, and comparing the first function to a preapproved function. The method also includes managing the wireless connection between the peripheral module and the computing device based on the comparison of the first function to the preapproved function.
