A companion device provides non-native function to a different electronic device. In the preferred embodiments, the electronic device and the companion device both include a local wireless interface that allows communicating between the two, such as a Bluetooth interface. When the electronic device comes within range of the companion device, it detects the presence of the companion device, and thus knows what enhanced function the companion device provides. In a first embodiment, the electronic device transmits information to the companion device, which processes the information and transmits the processed information to the electronic device. In a second embodiment, the companion device received information from a source other than the electronic device, processes the information, and transmits the information to the electronic device. In both embodiments, the companion device provides non- native functions to the electronic device. Examples of non-native functions include text-to-voice conversion, voice-to-text conversion, processing of audio files, processing of video files, performing complex mathematical computations, and digital signal processing.

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif compagnon qui confère à un dispositif électronique différent une fonction non native. Dans les modes de réalisation préférés, le dispositif électronique et le dispositif compagnon comportent chacun une interface locale sans fil qui permet la communication entre les deux, telle qu'une interface Bluetooth. Lorsque le dispositif électronique arrive à portée du dispositif compagnon, il détecte la présence de ce dispositif compagnon, et décèle ainsi quelles fonctions avancées le dispositif compagnon fournit. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif électronique transmet des informations au dispositif compagnon qui traite ces informations et transmet les informations traitées au dispositif électronique. Dans un second mode de réalisation, le dispositif compagnon reçoit des informations d'une source autre que le dispositif électronique, traite ces informations puis les transmet au dispositif électronique. Dans les deux modes de réalisation, le dispositif compagnon fournit des fonctions non natives au dispositif électronique. Les fonctions non natives peuvent inclure la conversion de texte en parole, la conversion de parole en texte, le traitement de fichiers audio, le traitement de fichiers vidéo, l'exécution de calculs mathématiques complexes et le traitement de signaux numériques.
