Claims
- 1. A computing device, comprising:
a first and a second transceiver for conducting wireless communications over a medium with another computing device, each transceiver being spatially separated from the other transceiver for independent communication over the medium, each transceiver being associated with a different particular transaction that occurs when another computing device interacts with the computing device over the medium through that transceiver.
- 2. The computing device of claim 1 further comprising a label affixed near the first transceiver identifying the particular transaction associated with communicating through the first transceiver.
- 3. The computing device of claim 1 wherein each transceiver communicates using infrared.
- 4. The computing device of claim 1 wherein each transceiver communication using RF (radio frequency) communication.
- 5. The computing device of claim 1 wherein the first transceiver is integral to the computing device.
- 6. The computing device of claim 1 wherein the first transceiver is attached to the computing device by a wire.
- 7. The computing device of claim 1 further comprising a different configuration handler application associated with each transceiver for handling messages of a particular type that arrive through that transceiver.
- 8. The computing device of claim 1 wherein the second transceiver is associated with a different particular transaction than the particular transaction associated with the first transceiver.
- 9. The computing device of claim 1 wherein the second transceiver is associated with a plurality of transactions, one of the plurality of transactions being selected when interacting with the computing device over the medium through that second transceiver.
- 10. A wireless network, comprising:
a first computing device; and a second computing device having a first and a second transceiver for conducting wireless communications over a medium with the first computing device, each transceiver being spatially separated from the other transceiver for independent communication over the shared medium, the first transceiver being associated with a particular transaction that occurs when the first computing device interacts with the second computing device over the medium through the first transceiver.
- 11. The network of claim 10 further comprising a label affixed near the first transceiver identifying the particular transaction associated with communicating through the first transceiver.
- 12. The network of claim 10 wherein each transceiver communicates using infrared.
- 13. The network of claim 10 wherein each transceiver communicates using RF (radio frequency) communication.
- 14. The network of claim 10 wherein the first transceiver is integral to the computing device.
- 15. The network of claim 10 wherein the first transceiver is attached to the second computing device by a wire.
- 16. The network of claim 10 further comprising a different configuration handler application associated with each transceiver for handling messages of a particular type that arrive through that transceiver.
- 17. The network of claim 10 wherein the second transceiver is associated with a different particular transaction than the particular transaction associated with the first transceiver.
- 18. The network of claim 10 wherein the second transceiver is associated with a plurality of transactions, one of the plurality of transactions being selected when interacting with the computing device over the medium through that second transceiver.
- 19. The network of claim 10 wherein the second computing device is a personal digital assistant.
- 20. The network of claim 10 wherein the second computing device is a calculator.
- 21. The network of claim 10 wherein the second computing device is a laptop computer.
