Methods and systems for automatic configuration of peripherals
First Claim
1. A wireless mobile telephone comprising:
- at least one processor;
a memory coupled to the processor;
a first radio frequency (RF) wireless transceiver coupled to the processor, the first RF wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a wireless cellular network;
a second RF transceiver, coupled to the processor, for wirelessly communicating with a data processing system;
a port coupled to the processor, the port configured to be coupled to a connector interface of the data processing system which is coupled to a data network, wherein the processor is configured to route, automatically, data of a communication through the data network to the data processing system to the wireless mobile telephone in response to the wireless mobile telephone being connected to the connector interface prior to the communication and being disconnected from the connector interface during the communication.

Abstract
Peripherals and data processing systems are disclosed which can be configured to interact based upon sensor data. In one embodiment, a peripheral, which is configured to be used with a data processing system, includes an interface to couple the peripheral to the data processing system, and at least one sensor, such as a proximity sensor, to sense a user of the peripheral, and a processor coupled to the interface and to the at least one sensor, wherein the processor configures the peripheral in response to data from the at least one sensor. The peripheral may communicate sensor data from its sensors to the data processing system, which may be a wireless PDA, and the data processing system analyzes the sensor data from its sensors and from the peripheral'"'"'s sensors to decide how to configure the peripheral and/or the data processing system based on the sensor.
