A method on a server for providing content to a mobile device is provided. Paired device identity information associated with a device that has been paired to the mobile device is received. Content available from the server based upon the paired device identity information is determined and sent to the mobile device.

Server behavior based on paired device identification

An apparatus receives a first wireless message via a first wireless transceiver, which first wireless message includes a content payload. The apparatus categorizes this first wireless message (for example, with respect to service type, a specific service, and/or a communication thread) and transmits, via a second wireless transceiver, a second message that includes the categorization information but not all (or necessarily even any) of the content payload. Upon then receiving, via that second wireless transceiver, a corresponding third message the apparatus determines a need to forward the content payload via that second wireless transceiver.

Method and apparatus pertaining to conveying categorically-characterizing information

A method enables a mobile device to provide caller information stored on the mobile device to an accessory device that is connected wirelessly to the mobile device. The method includes establishing a short-range wireless connection between the mobile device and the accessory device, determining an incoming telephone number for an incoming telephone call, searching a directory stored on the mobile device for an entry matching the incoming telephone number, and transmitting caller data from the entry matching the incoming telephone number to the accessory device.
