1. A method of establishing a capability at a smartphone to conduct a financial transaction; the method comprising:
responsive to sensing a value of a parameter and responsive to determining that the value of the parameter sensed satisfies a criterion, selectively establishing a master-slave relationship, and selectively requesting an authorization to establish said capability; then
receiving the authorization to establish the capability, responsive to said selectively requesting an authorization, and establishing the capability at the smartphone responsive to said receiving the authorization;
wherein said selectively establishing a master-slave relationship, said selectively requesting an authorization and said receiving the authorization comprises wirelessly transmitting/receiving using a WiFi air interface protocol, an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing air interface protocol and/or an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access air interface protocol; and
wherein the value of the parameter that is sensed comprises a signal, a number, a word, a code, a velocity, an acceleration, a time-of-day, a position, a humidity, a temperature, a height, a level of brightness, a level of darkness, a blood pressure, a heart rate, a blood content, a physiological state and/or a psychological state.
