Abstract
A method implemented by a wearable wireless communication device ('WWCD') includes detecting a connection between the WWCD and an accessory device. The WWCD accesses a memory location in the accessory device, the memory location being designated for storing brand data indicating a brand identity associated with the accessory device. The WWCD determines a brand status of the accessory device based on data, if any, accessed from the memory location in the accessory device. The WWCD also determines one or more interactions permitted between the WWCD and the accessory device based at least in part on the brand status of the accessory device.
