Remote control
The phone keypad is configured for control of a 
certain computer application through a special 
type of HID configuration file consisting of an XML 
file for the keypad and an image for the display. 
HID configuration files can be downloaded into the 
phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms. 
Users can even modify the files themselves on their 
computers. A few configuration files pre-loaded in 
the phone enable the user to navigate on a 
computer desktop and control presentations and 
Media players.
System functions
Characteristics
The HID configuration files, and the set of 
predefined HID configuration files, are 
customizable. The configuration files can be 
modified by the user if transferred to, and opened 
on, a computer.
Used enablers and bearers
The HID based remote control function works over 
a Bluetooth connection. It is possible to download 
the HID configuration files via an infrared, WLAN, 
USB or Bluetooth connection. It is also possible to 
transfer the files to another device using an infrared 
or Bluetooth connection.
Power save mode
The phone uses sniff mode on headset, handsfree 
and HID connections which means reduced power 
consumption and shorter connection set-up times.
IrDA
IrDA (Infrared Data Association) is a point-to-point 
communication link between two infrared ports. 
The infrared beam has to be directed towards the 
target infrared port and as long as the two infrared 
ports are within sight and range, the devices can 
exchange data. 
Object Exchange via infrared (IrObex) supports the 
transferring of objects between compatible 
phones. Sony Ericsson P1 can be used to control 
electrical devices that have an infrared port, such 
as, a television or DVD player.
USB
Sony Ericsson P1 is USB 2.0 FS (12 Mbps) 
compliant. The idea of the USB port is to allow 
easy connection of the phone to a computer.
USB is designed to be completely “Plug and Play”, 
that is, devices will be correctly detected and 
configured automatically as soon as they are 
attached. USB in a mobile phone means 
convenient data transfer between the phone and a 
computer.
Sony Ericsson P1 supports USB charging, which 
means that the user can have the phone battery 
charged while USB connected to, for example, a 
computer. This possibility is very useful if the user 
travels a lot.
