Abstract

A consumer electronics device comprises an interrogator and a tag is associated with an accessory for the wireless communications device. The tag stores an identifier that identifies hidden multimedia content stored in memory of the wireless communications device. When the consumer electronics device and the accessory are in close proximity to each other, the interrogator activates the tag for the identifier. A content manager disposed in the consumer electronics device unlocks the hidden multimedia content based on the received identifier.
