Pairing a mobile computer to a peripheral wireless device during setup procedures

A method of pairing a mobile computing device with a peripheral scanning device, the method comprising:

• initiating a setup application for the mobile computing device;
• receiving a touch configuration on a user interface of the mobile computing device;
• displaying a pairing indicia on the user interface, wherein the pairing indicia contains data corresponding to a wireless address of the mobile computing device;
• scanning the pairing indicia with the peripheral scanning device;
• in response to scanning the pairing indicia, using the wireless address of the mobile computing device to pair the mobile computer device with the peripheral scanning device;
• establishing a wireless connection between the mobile computing device and the peripheral scanning device;
• and
• scanning a staging indicia with the peripheral scanning device to initiate a device staging application within the mobile computing device.

A method of pairing a mobile computing device with a peripheral scanning device, the method comprising:

• initiating a setup application for the mobile computing device;
• inputting a first hardware key sequence on the mobile computing device to activate a first radio in the mobile computing device;
• inputting a second hardware key sequence on the peripheral scanning device to activate a second radio in the peripheral scanning device;
• writing data into an Extended Inquiry Response for transmission by the peripheral scanning device;
• discovering the peripheral scanning device with the mobile computing device via the data within the Extended Inquiry Response;
• initiating pairing between the mobile computing device and the peripheral scanning device;
• authenticating the pairing between the mobile computing device and the peripheral scanning device;
• and
• scanning a staging indicia with the peripheral scanning device to initiate a device staging application within the mobile computing device.

A method of pairing a mobile computing device with a peripheral scanning device, the method comprising:

• initiating a setup application for the mobile computing device;
• tapping the peripheral scanning device against the mobile computing device;
• exchanging communication data between the mobile computing device and the peripheral scanning device;
• initiating pairing between the mobile computing device and the peripheral scanning device;
• authenticating the pairing between the mobile computing device and the peripheral scanning device;
• and
• scanning a staging indicia with the peripheral scanning device to initiate a device staging application within the mobile computing device.
