Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a wireless connection between a computing device and a peripheral module are provided. In some aspects, a computer-implemented method includes detecting a mechanical coupling between the peripheral module and the computing device. The method also includes identifying a first function of the mechanically coupled peripheral module, and comparing the first function to a preapproved function. The method also includes managing the wireless connection between the peripheral module and the computing device based on the comparison of the first function to the preapproved function.
