System and method for enabling a wireless device to communicate with a portable computer over an inductive link
First Claim
1. A system for enabling wireless communication over an inductive link, comprising:
- a portable computer having a memory and a display;
wherein the portable computer is provided with a receiving unit for receiving data from at least one wireless device over said inductive link and a proximity detector for detecting proximity of said at least one wireless device over said inductive link,wherein processing of data sent from said wireless device is in said portable computer enabled by a signal indicating a detected proximity of said at least one wireless device, andwherein the portable computer is adapted to immediately display said processed data from a non-paired proximity-detected compatible wireless device on the display of said portable computer.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system and a method for enabling a wireless device to communicate with a portable computer over an inductive link. The portable computer is provided with a receiving unit for receiving data over said inductive link, and with a proximity detector for detecting proximity of a wireless device sending data over said inductive link. The processing of the data sent from the wireless device in said portable computer is enabled by a signal indicating a detected proximity of said wireless device. The portable computer may be a dive computer which includes a receiver unit capable of receiving sensor information from a pressure sensor an inductive link, and a proximity detector capable of sensing the proximity of the pressure sensor over the inductive link.

13. A method for enabling at least one wireless device to communicate with a portable computer over an inductive link, the method comprising the steps of:
-
sending data from said at least one wireless device over said inductive link to a receiving unit of said portable computer; detecting, by a proximity detector in said portable computer, over the inductive link, the proximity of the at least one wireless device to the portable computer; and processing by said portable computer and immediately displaying on a display of said portable computer said data in response to the detecting of the proximity of the at least one wireless device; wherein the portable computer is configured such that data received over said inductive link from a non-paired proximity-detected compatible wireless device is immediately processed and displayed on a display of said portable computer. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
