Patent ID: 8805456

Claim:
A wireless mobile communication system comprising: a wireless mobile communication device containing a battery and configured to wirelessly communicate with another device via a short range wireless communication link; and an inductive charging base configured to inductively charge the battery and to receive data from the wireless mobile communication device via the short range wireless communication link; wherein the wireless mobile communication device is configured to: determine whether the wireless mobile communication device is connected with the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link, responsive to determining that the wireless mobile communication device is connected to the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link, determine whether the wireless mobile communication device is inductively coupled with the inductive charging base, and in response to determining that the wireless mobile communication device is both connected with the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link and inductively coupled with the inductive charging base, initiate the inductive charging of the battery and at least one of: (1) automatically activate an application stored on the wireless mobile communication device, or (2) send data via the short range communication link to the inductive charging base based upon execution of the application.
