Abstract
A wide area communication system includes a mobile communication device and an inductive charging base that charges the battery of the wireless mobile communication device through inductive coupling. The inductive charging base may receive data from the wireless mobile communication device via a short range wireless communication link while the wireless mobile communication device is charging using the inductive charging base. One or more applications stored on the wireless mobile communication device can be automatically activated and data can be sent from the wireless mobile communication device to the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link, only while the wireless mobile communication device is Bluetooth paired with the inductive charging base and there is inductive coupling between the inductive charging base and the wireless mobile communication device.
