Abstract
There is provided several embodiments of the present invention, the invention being an automatic detection unit allowing for coupling of an external device with a host. The unit may connect to an external device either via wired or wireless means. The host may be activated from a standby mode by the external device and the external device may be identifiable by the host (or a verifier). Identification of the external device by the host allows identification of at least one data format type transmitted by the external device when data is transferred from the external device to the host. This may enable processing of the data by the host, such as, for example, storage, playback or both of the aforementioned.
