Abstract:
A method and system thereof for dynamically configuring a device, adapted to be communicatively coupled in a wireless personal area network, with an attribute corresponding to a characteristic of the device. In one embodiment, the method involves receiving an attribute setting corresponding to characteristics of the device and implementing a corresponding configuration state. In this embodiment, the configuration state activates a corresponding device configuration. In one embodiment, the attribute setting constitutes a discretely variable value conforming to the degree of mobility of the device. In one embodiment, an attribute setting constitutes a discretely variable value conforming to the location of the device. In one embodiment, two attribute settings constitute discretely variable values conforming, one to the degree of mobility of the device, and the other to its location. In one embodiment, the device and network incorporate communicative capability compliant with the Bluetooth specification.
