Patent ID: 8214540

Claim:
A peripheral device comprising: an input/output block that connects to a first device; a wireless communication block configured to wirelessly communicate with a second device in which data can be stored; a conversion block configured to convert a storage access command output by said first device to said input/output block into a communication command for a transfer to said second device, the wireless communication block being configured to transmit the communication command to the second device; a memory configured to store data; a selector switch block; and a control block configured to control the selector switch block, wherein, the wireless communication block is configured to detect the second device within a communication range of the wireless communication block and to output to the control block (i) a detection signal when the second device is detected within the communication range and (ii) a non-detection signal when the second device is not detected within the communication range, and the control block (a) controls the selector switch block in response to the detection signal to make the second device accessible by the first device and (b) controls the selector switch block in response to the non-detection signal to make the memory accessible by the first device.
