A system and method manages Bluetooth connections between Bluetooth devices. A first Bluetooth device can have a virtual Bluetooth device associated with it. A virtual Bluetooth device can include Bluetooth parameters and values that when adopted by a second Bluetooth device, would allow the first and second Bluetooth devices to begin communicating as already paired devices. The first Bluetooth device can be configured to allow a Bluetooth connection with the second Bluetooth device only if the second Bluetooth device has the Bluetooth parameters associated with the first Bluetooth device. An administrator server can control access to virtual Bluetooth devices based on access privileges. The first Bluetooth device can identify the second Bluetooth device using methods other than Bluetooth communication. The first Bluetooth device can then access virtual Bluetooth device associated with the second Bluetooth device and establish a secure connection with the second Bluetooth device.
A method for managing Bluetooth (BT) communications at a first BT device, the first BT device configured to communicate with a second BT device, comprising:
A first Bluetooth (BT) device configured to communicate with a second BT device comprising:
A method for managing Bluetooth (BT) communications between a first BT device and a plurality of second BT devices by an administrator server, the administrator server comprising a server memory, the method comprising:
A first Bluetooth (BT) device configured to communicate with a second BT device, comprising:
