Wireless device having context-based operational behavior
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless device that communicates with other devices over one or more wireless links, comprising:
- a receiver that receives information from at least one other device over the one or more wireless links;
a controller that controls operational behavior of the wireless device; and
a storage device storing at least one profile associated with a context that defines an operating situation relating to the wireless device, the at least one profile being defined by one or more profile parameters that relate to one or more operating modes of the wireless device, wherein the controller controls the operation of the wireless device in accordance with the one or more profile parameters associated with the context, and the operating modes of the wireless device correspond to at least one of a discoverable mode which determines whether the wireless device responds to inquiries and a pairable mode which determines whether the wireless device accepts creation of bonds initiated by the at least one other device.

Abstract
A wireless device uses profiles associated with one or more contexts, which defines various operating situations. Depending on a context, the wireless device changes its operational behavior in accordance with a defined profile, when a context parameter changes. Among other things, the context can correspond to a wireless device location, user age, skill, or gender, or ambient environmental factors, such as temperature. For example, based on a profile associated with a location, the wireless device can change its operational behavior relative to sharing resources with other devices.

8. A method of controlling the operational behavior of a wireless device, comprising:
-
storing at least one profile associated with a context that defines an operating situation relating to the wireless device, the at least one profile being defined by one or more profile parameters that relate to one or more operating modes of the wireless device, wherein the operating modes of the wireless device correspond to at least one of a discoverable mode which determines whether the wireless device responds to inquiries and a pairable mode which determines whether the wireless device accents creation of bonds initiated by at least one other device;
receiving information from the at least one other device over one or more wireless links; and
controlling the operation of the wireless device in accordance with the one or more profile parameters associated with the context. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
