An apparatus and method for wireless/wired Bluetooth.TM. communications
interface are described. The method includes detection of a
communications configuration of a device as one of a wireless
communications interface and a wireless/wired communications interface.
Once detected, it is determined whether a wired/wireless communications
interface is the communications interface of the device. When such is the
case, a data transmission error rate of the device is determined during
operation of the device in a wireless communications mode. Next, the
device is switched from the wireless communications mode to a wired
communications mode when the data transmission error rate caused by
wireless radio interference of the device exceeds a pre-determined
threshold. As such, the present invention allows Bluetooth.TM. wireless
communications devices to utilize a wired communications mode when
transmission error rate exceeds a pre-determined threshold.
