Wireless communication between two temporarily connected devices
First Claim
1. A method of setting up a wireless connection between two temporarily connected devices, the method comprising:
- detecting a physical attachment of a first end of a device interconnector to an interconnector mating unit of a first device, said first end being provided with a first wireless communication identifier,detecting a physical attachment of a second end of the device interconnector to an interconnector mating unit of a second device, said second end being provided with a second wireless communication identifier,reading the wireless communication identifier of each end of the device interconnector the attachment of which has been detected,setting up a dedicated two-way wireless connection between the two devices, andexchanging data between the two devices over the wireless connection.

Abstract
A system for setting up a wireless connection between two temporarily connected devices includes a device interconnector having a first end provided with a first wireless communication identifier and a second end provided with a second wireless communication identifier, a first device having a first interconnector mating unit, a first wireless communication unit and a first reading unit and a second device having a second interconnector mating unit, a second wireless communication unit and a second reading unit. The wireless communication units of each device is configured to receive an identifier being read by the corresponding reading unit as the device interconnector is attached to the corresponding mating unit and the wireless communication unit is configured to employ this identifier in setting up, together with the other wireless communication unit, a wireless connection between the two devices.

12. A device interconnector for allowing a wireless connection to be set up between two temporarily connected devices, said device interconnector having a first end adapted to be attached to a first device and a second end adapted to be attached to a second device, said first end comprising a first wireless communication identifier and said second end comprising a second wireless communication identifier in order to allow the first and second devices to detect identifying data comprised in the first and second wireless communication identifiers upon the physical attachment of the device interconnector to these devices for use in the setting up of one two-way wireless connection between them based on the identifying data.
