Abstract
A method includes performing, by a first electronic device, discovery of a second electronic device and one or more communication modes associated with the second electronic device, the one or more communication modes including a human body communication mode; performing, by the first electronic device, an association procedure with the second electronic device on a first communication mode; selecting, by the first electronic device, a second communication mode to communicate with the second electronic device; and performing, by the first electronic device, communication with the second electronic device in the second communication mode.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- performing, by a first electronic device, discovery of a second electronic device and one or more communication modes associated with the second electronic device, the one or more communication modes including a human body communication mode (HBC);
- performing, by the first electronic device, an association procedure with the second electronic device on a first communication mode;
- selecting, by the first electronic device, a second communication mode to communicate with the second electronic device;
- and
- performing, by the first electronic device, communication with the second electronic device in the second communication mode.
A first electronic device comprising:
- memory;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- perform discovery of a second electronic device and one or more communication modes associated with the second electronic device, the one or more communication modes including a human body communication mode (HBC);
- perform an association procedure with the second electronic device on a first communication mode;
- select a second communication mode to communicate with the second electronic device;
- and
- perform communication with the second electronic device in the second communication mode.
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising program code that, when executed by a processor of a first electronic device, causes the first electronic device to:
- perform discovery of a second electronic device and one or more communication modes associated with the second electronic device, the one or more communication modes including a human body communication mode (HBC);
- perform an association procedure with the second electronic device on a first communication mode;
- select a second communication mode to communicate with the second electronic device;
- and
- perform communication with the second electronic device in the second communication mode.
