Negotiated wireless peripheral security systems
First Claim
1. A method for use with a wireless handheld device, the method comprising:
- downloading video content from a remote server via a wireless access connection to the wireless handheld device;
wirelessly communicating using a wireless local area network protocol with a peripheral augmentation device that is external to the wireless handheld device and that includes a non-area constrained display, the wirelessly communicating including the wireless handheld device engaging in a handshaking sequence with the peripheral augmentation device to gain access to the non-area constrained display; and
wirelessly coupling the video content from the wireless handheld device to the peripheral augmentation device for display on the non-area constrained display.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and business techniques are disclosed for use in mobile network communication systems. A mobile unit such as a smart phone is preferably equipped with a wireless local area network connection and a wireless wide area network connection. The local area network connection is used to establish a position-dependent ecommerce network connection with a wireless peripheral supplied by a vendor. The mobile unit is then temporarily augmented with the added peripheral services supplied by the negotiated wireless peripheral. Systems and methods allow the mobile unit to communicate securely with a remote server, even when the negotiated wireless peripheral is not fully trusted. Also mobile units, wireless user peripherals, and negotiated wireless peripherals that project a non-area constrained user interface image on a display surface are taught.

16. A method for use with a wireless handheld device having digital video content stored on a storage medium associated with the wireless handheld device, the method comprising:
-
the wireless handheld device wirelessly communicating via a wireless local area network connection with an external video viewing device that provides a non-area constrained display that is external to the wireless handheld device; the wireless handheld device engaging in a handshaking sequence with the external video viewing device and passing verification information to the external video viewing device during the handshaking sequence; the external video viewing device examining the verification information, and if the examining results in an affirmative verification, allowing the wireless handheld device to use the non-area constrained display; and wirelessly coupling the digital video content from the wireless handheld device to the external video viewing device via the wireless local area network connection, to thereby cause a motion video image related to the digital video content to be displayed on the non-area constrained display. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for use with a wireless handheld device having a built-in area-constrained display, the method comprising:
-
storing displayable content in a storage medium associated with the wireless handheld device; wirelessly coupling the displayable content, via a wireless local area network connection, to an external display device that includes a non-area constrained display that is external to the wireless handheld device; and selectively causing the displayable content to be displayed on the built-in area constrained display and/or the external non-area-constrained display, whereby a user of the wireless handheld device is afforded the capability of viewing the content on either or both of the area-constrained display and the non-area constrained display. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A method for use with a wireless handheld telephony device having digital video content stored on a storage medium therein, the method comprising:
-
the wireless handheld telephony device wirelessly communicating via a wireless wide network area interface to place a voice telephone call via a cellular communications network; the wireless handheld telephony device wirelessly communicating via a wireless local area network connection with an external video viewing device that provides a non-area constrained display that is external to the wireless handheld telephony device; the wireless handheld telephony device engaging in a handshaking sequence with the external video viewing device and passing verification information to the video viewing device during the handshaking sequence; the external video viewing device examining the verification information, and if the examining results in an affirmative verification, allowing the wireless handheld telephony device to use the non-area constrained display; and wirelessly coupling from the wireless handheld telephony device to the external video viewing device, via the wireless local area network connection, digital video data related to the digital video content, to thereby cause a motion video image related to the digital video content to be displayed on the non-area constrained display. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
