Abstract
The present invention provides an improved wireless communication device capable of detecting the presence of an external device and dynamically updating its communication abilities to facilitate communication with the external device. The wireless communication device, upon detecting a wired or wireless connection from an external device, queries the external device to obtain summary profile information about the external device. The wireless device next formulates a query comprising at least a portion of the summary profile information and sends the query to a remote server to request an appropriate communication interface. The remote server responds with the appropriate communication interface. Upon receipt of the interface, the wireless communication device installs the interface and then proceeds to establish communication with the external device.
