Abstract
A Bluetooth device and its pairing method capable of performing an accurate pairing with a user-desired Bluetooth device provide e transmitting an inquiry message for searching for at least one peripheral Bluetooth device, and in response the peripheral Bluetooth device transmits an inquiry response message including predefined pairing acceptance mark data, then upon receiving the inquiry response message including the pairing acceptance mark data, the Bluetooth device transmits a pairing request message for pairing to the peripheral Bluetooth device that forwarded the inquiry response message.
Claims24
A Bluetooth pairing method comprising:
- transmitting an inquiry message for searching at least one peripheral Bluetooth device;
- and
- upon receiving an inquiry response message including predefined pairing acceptance mark data from the at least one peripheral Bluetooth device in response to the inquiry message, transmitting a pairing request message to the at least one peripheral Bluetooth device for pairing.
A Bluetooth pairing method comprising:
- transmitting an inquiry message for searching at least one peripheral Bluetooth device during a preset search time period;
- upon receiving an inquiry response message including predefined pairing acceptance mark data in response to the inquiry message, determining the at least one peripheral Bluetooth device that forwarded the inquiry response message as a pairing acceptance mark device;
- checking a number of pairing acceptance mark devices which are found during the preset search time period;
- transmitting a pairing request message to the pairing acceptance mark device for pairing when only one pairing acceptance mark device found;
- and
- displaying the number of found pairing acceptance mark devices in a Bluetooth device list according to a predetermined format to distinguish the found pairing acceptance mark devices when more than one pairing acceptance mark device are found.
A Bluetooth pairing method comprising:
- transmitting an inquiry response message including predefined pairing acceptance mark data in response to receiving an inquiry message from a Bluetooth device;
- and
- performing a pairing with the Bluetooth device in response to receiving a pairing request message from the Bluetooth device.
A Bluetooth apparatus comprising:
- a Bluetooth unit for performing Bluetooth communication;
- and
- a controller, coupled to the Bluetooth unit, configured to transmit an inquiry message for searching at least one peripheral Bluetooth device, and transmit a pairing request message to the at least one Bluetooth device for pairing in response to receiving an inquiry response message including predefined pairing acceptance mark data from the least one peripheral Bluetooth device in response to the inquiry message.
A Bluetooth apparatus comprising:
- a Bluetooth unit for performing Bluetooth communication
- a display for displaying a Bluetooth device list;
- and
- a controller, coupled to the Bluetooth unit and the display, configured to:
- transmit an inquiry message for searching at least one peripheral Bluetooth device during a preset search time period;
- upon receiving an inquiry response message including predefined pairing acceptance mark data in response to the inquiry message, determine the at least one peripheral Bluetooth device that forwarded the inquiry response message as a pairing acceptance mark device;
- check a number of pairing acceptance mark devices which are found during the preset search time period;
- transmit a pairing request message to the pairing acceptance mark device for pairing when only one pairing acceptance mark device is found;
- and display the number of found pairing acceptance mark devices in the Bluetooth device list according to a predetermined format to distinguish the found pairing acceptance mark devices when more than one pairing acceptance mark devices are found.
A Bluetooth apparatus comprising:
- a Bluetooth unit for performing Bluetooth communication;
- and
- a controller, coupled to the Bluetooth unit, configured to transmit an inquiry response message including predefined pairing acceptance mark data in response to an inquiry message from at least one Bluetooth device, and perform pairing with the at least one Bluetooth device in response to a pairing request message received therefrom.
