Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for enabling a wireless device to communicate with a portable computer over an inductive link. The portable computer is provided with a receiving unit for receiving data over said inductive link, and with a proximity detector for detecting proximity of a wireless device sending data over said inductive link. The processing of the data sent from the wireless device in said portable computer is enabled by a signal indicating a detected proximity of said wireless device. The portable computer may be a dive computer which includes a receiver unit capable of receiving sensor information from a pressure sensor an inductive link, and a proximity detector capable of sensing the proximity of the pressure sensor over the inductive link.
