  • Methods And Apparatus For Use In Selectively Retrieving And Displaying User Interface Information Of A Wireless Peripheral Device
    Publication number: 20100222000
    Abstract: A mobile communication device (e.g. a handheld telephone device) has a first wireless transceiver for communications via a wireless communication network and a second wireless transceiver for communications with a wireless peripheral device (e.g. a wireless audio headset or earpiece). The mobile device receives, from the wireless peripheral, an identification of a type or model of the wireless peripheral. The mobile device causes user interface (UI) function mapping information of the wireless peripheral to be selectively retrieved based on the received identification of the type or model. The UI function mapping information is indicative of a plurality of device functions assigned to a plurality of user input controls of the wireless peripheral. UI instruction information which is based on the retrieved UI function mapping information is then displayed at the mobile device.
