Method and systems for enabling interaction between a device that comprises a display and a separable mobile core
View Patent ↗A system for enabling interaction with a user interface device, comprising a separable transportable mobile core comprising a radio transceiver, a processor, a memory, and a communication component, wherein the mobile core receives indicia of the user interface device and communicates the indicia to a computer, wherein the computer authenticates the user interface device and transmits an instruction to the mobile core, and wherein the instruction enables the mobile core to interact with the user interface device.
1. A system for enabling interaction between a device that comprises a display and a separable mobile core of a communication device, comprising:
the separable mobile core configured for insertion into the device, the separable mobile core comprising a radio transceiver for communication with a network, a processor, a memory, and a communication component; and
an authentication component in the network, wherein, upon insertion of the separable mobile core into the device, the separable mobile core receives indicia of the device, communicates the indicia to the authentication component via the network, and receives authentication and instructions from the authentication component via the network, and wherein the authentication and instructions comprise at least one of dimensions of the display of the device, pixel ratio of the display of the device, or aspect ratio of the display of the device and enable the separable mobile core to interact with the device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indicia comprises identification of the device and a security token, and wherein a portion of the indicia is encrypted.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the separable mobile core further comprises an operating system.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device is one of a wireless handset, a pager, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a gaming device, an inventory control device, a vehicle, a media player, and a portable computer.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the separable mobile core is transportable between a plurality of devices.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a power supply.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the separable mobile core receives power from the device.
8. A method for enabling interaction between a device that comprises a display and a separable mobile core of a communication device, comprising:
connecting the separable mobile core to the device, wherein the separable mobile core comprises an operating system, a memory, a radio transceiver for communication with a network, a processor, and a communication component;
in response to connecting the separable mobile core to the device, receiving, by the separable mobile core, indicia of the device;
transmitting, by the separable mobile core, the indicia to an authentication component via the network; and
receiving, by the separable mobile core, authentication and instructions from the authentication component via the network, wherein the authentication and instructions comprise at least one of dimensions of the display of the device, pixel ratio of the display of the device, or aspect ratio of the display of the device and enable the separable mobile core to interact with the device.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the device comprises a power supply.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising the separable mobile core receiving power from the device.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the indicia comprises identification of the device and a shared secret.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein a portion of the indicia is encrypted.
13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
disconnecting the separable mobile core from a first device;
connecting the separable mobile core to a second device;
receiving indicia from the second device;
authenticating the second device;
receiving an instruction by the separable mobile core; and
configuring the separable mobile core to interact with the second device, based on the instruction.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the device is one of a wireless handset, a pager, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a gaming device, an inventory control device, a media player, a vehicle, a portable computer, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer.
15. A system for enabling interaction between a device that comprises a display and a separable mobile core of a communication device, comprising:
the separable mobile core configured for insertion into the device, the separable mobile core comprising an operating system, a memory, a radio transceiver for communication with a network, a processor, and a communication component;
an authentication component in the network; and
the device comprising indicia, wherein, upon insertion of the separable mobile core into the device, the separable mobile core receives the indicia, communicates the indicia to the authentication component via the network, and receives authentication and instructions from the authentication component via the network and wherein the authentication and instructions comprise at least one of dimensions of the display of the device, pixel ratio of the display of the device, or aspect ratio of the display of the device and enable the separable mobile core to interact with the device.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the indicia comprises identification of the device and a shared secret.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein a portion of the indicia is encrypted.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the device comprises a power supply, and the separable mobile core receives power from the device.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the separable mobile core is transportable between a plurality of devices.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the device is one of a wireless handset, a pager, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a gaming device, an inventory control device, a media player, a vehicle, a portable computer, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer.
