Abstract
Systems and methods for establishing a data connection between a mobile device and a peripheral. The mobile device is configured to determine whether to handle user approval of the data connection between the mobile device and the peripheral. Through the mobile device, an input mechanism is provided for the user to provide input. The input is used in determining whether to approve the data connection between the mobile device and the peripheral.
Claims20
A method for establishing a data connection between a peripheral device and a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the mobile device, an indication from the peripheral device for user approval of the data connection;
- prompting, by the mobile device, for a user input in response to receiving the indication;
- and
- determining, by the mobile device, whether to establish the data connection based on the user input.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement a method for establishing a data connection between a peripheral device and a mobile device, comprising:
- receiving an indication redirecting user approval of the data connection from the peripheral device to the mobile device;
- prompting a user of the mobile device for a user input in response to receiving the indication;
- and
- determining, by the mobile device, whether to establish the data connection based on the user input.
A mobile device for establishing a data connection with a peripheral device, the mobile device comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory device such that when executed, cause the mobile device to:
- receive an indication from the peripheral device for user approval of the data connection;
- prompt a user of the mobile device for a user input in response to receiving the indication;
- and
- determine whether to establish the data connection based on the user input.
