  • Exchangable housing cover for a portable radio communication device
    Patent number: 6898283
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a removable housing cover that is adapted to be detachably connectable to a mobile phone. The removable cover having a distinguishing identity means associated therewith, and the phone having a sensor for sensing the distinguishing identity means of the removable cover and a processor controlling the operating characteristics of the device. The arrangement being such that in use, the removable housing cover is mounted on the phone and the sensor senses the identity means and outputs a sensed parameter of the identity means to the processor; wherein, the processor is responsive to the sensed parameter to change selected ones of the operating characteristics of the phone. In this way, changing the phone cover causes a change in the internal operating characteristics of the phone.
