Claim 14:
15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
detecting, in a first electronic card device (ECD) including a first circuit path having a first switch and a second circuit path having a second switch, an activation of the first switch to close the first circuit path to power on the first ECD by a second ECD, wherein the activation of the first switch is independent of the second switch;
in response to the detected activation of the first switch, determining that the second ECD is within a threshold proximity of the first ECD;
exchanging data with the second ECD;
in response to determining that the first ECD is docked with a mobile device based on detecting an engagement of the second switch to close the second circuit path without engagement of the first switch, transmitting an accumulated information from the first ECD to the mobile device;
in response to determining that the first ECD is not docked with the mobile device, storing the accumulated information in the first ECD; and
detecting a deactivation of the first switch to power off the first ECD, responsive to the second ECD being outside of the threshold proximity of the first ECD.
