Abstract: In a method of controlling an accessory device by a mobile computing device, upon being communicatively coupled with the accessory device, the mobile computing device communicates with the accessory device using an accessory communication protocol to receive accessory information, and protocol configuration data associated with a specific application executable on the accessory device. The mobile computing device reconfigures the accessory communication protocol based on the protocol configuration data to obtain a reconfigured accessory communication protocol, and then communicates with the accessory device using the reconfigured accessory communication protocol to control execution of basic functionality and the specific application on the accessory device.
