SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING SHORT-RANGE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN A MOBILE WIRELESS DEVICE AND AN AUXILIARY SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method for facilitating short-range wireless communications between a mobile wireless device and an auxiliary device. The wireless device includes a short-range transceiver for communicating with an auxiliary device; a signal module for providing a mode control signal; and, a control module for controllably shifting a short-range transceiver between a power saver mode and a search mode based on the mode control signal received from the signal module. When in the search mode, the short-range transceiver is operable to search for the auxiliary device to communicate therewith. When in a power saver mode, the short-range transceiver is not operable to search for the auxiliary device.< /SDOAB>
