Method for secure guest mode device-to-device communications

A first wireless device, comprising:

• a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:
• detect that a second wireless device is within mid-to-short communication range of the first wireless device for establishing secure wireless communications;
• receive a user selected connection type selected by a user of the first wireless device for connecting the first wireless device to a second wireless device;
• establish a wireless connection to the second wireless device using a one-time password (OTP) exchange and selected features access permissions;
• and
• in response to determining that the user selected connection type is a one-time temporary access connection type:
• store a device ID of the second wireless device for a duration of the wireless connection;
• and
• delete the stored device ID upon disconnection of the first wireless device from the second wireless device to prevent future automatic connections.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor of a first wireless device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting that a second wireless device is within mid-to-short communication range of the first wireless device for establishing secure wireless communications;
• receiving a user selected connection type selected by a user of the first wireless device for connecting the first wireless device to a second wireless device;
• establishing a wireless connection to the second wireless device using a one-time password (OTP) exchange and selected features access permissions;
• and
• in response to determining that the user selected connection type is a one-time temporary access connection type:
• storing a device identification (ID) of the second wireless device for a duration of the wireless connection;
• and
• deleting the stored device ID upon disconnection of the first wireless device from the second wireless device to prevent future automatic connections.
