Abstract
Provided are systems and methods for a location-aware, self-configuring peripheral device. In some implementations, the peripheral device may include two or more personalities. In these implementations, a personality enables the peripheral device to provide a service. In some implementations, the peripheral device may be configured to receive a configuration cycle. In some implementations, the peripheral device may further select a personality from among two or more personalities. The peripheral device may use information derived from the configuration cycle to make this selection. Selecting a personality may further include configuring the peripheral device according to the selected personality.
