Abstract
Method for communicating information between a first device comprising means for communicating through a BLUETOOTH link and at least one second device also comprising means for communicating through a BLUETOOTH link. A connection link separated from the BLUETOOTH link is established between said first device and said at least one second device. A device identifier block includes data required for establishing and maintaining a BLUETOOTH link communication between said first device and a second device. The device identifier block is transferred through the connection link separated from the BLUETOOTH link.

A method for communicating information between a first device comprising means for communicating through a BLUETOOTH link and at least one second device also comprising means for communicating through a BLUETOOTH link, the method including the steps of:
- establishing a connection link separated from the BLUETOOTH link between said first device and said at least one second device:
- transferring, in a device identifier block, data required for establishing and maintaining a BLUETOOTH link communication between said first device and a second device:
- storing a device identifier block of at least one first device in a removable storage media;
- moving said removable storage media to a second device;
- reading said device identifier block in the second device;
- and
- establishing the connection link when the device identifier block has been read.
A device for communicating information between a first device comprising BLUETOOTH communication means and at least one second device also comprising BLUETOOTH communication means, comprising:
- a first communication means at said first device, said first communication means separated and different from the BLUETOOTH communication means;
- and
- a second communication means at said second device separated and different from the BLUETOOTH communication means,
- wherein said first communication means and said second communication means are adapted to communicate over a communication media different from BLUETOOTH and to transfer identifier data required for establishing and maintaining a BLUETOOTH link communication between said first device and said second device, and
- wherein said first device and said second device comprise means for receiving a removable storage media, and wherein said first communication means and said second communication means are adapted to read/write a device identifier block stored in the removable storage media.
A method for communicating information between a first device comprising means for communicating through a BLUETOOTH link and at least one second device also comprising means for communicating through a BLUETOOTH link, the method including the steps of:
- establishing a connection link separated from the BLUETOOTH link between said first device and said at least one second device;
- transferring, in a device identifier block, data required for establishing and maintaining a BLUETOOTH link communication between said first device and a second device;
- providing a bar code exhibiting data corresponding to the device identifier block of a first device on the first device;
- providing a bar code reader in said second device;
- and
- establishing the connection link when the bar code reader is able to read the bar code.
A device for communicating information between a first device comprising BLUETOOTH communication means and at least one second device also comprising BLUETOOTH communication means, comprising:
- a first communication means at said first device, said first communication means separated and different from the BLUETOOTH communication means;
- and
- a second communication means at said second device separated and different from the BLUETOOTH communication means,
- wherein said first communication means and said second communication means are adapted to communicate over a communication media different from BLUETOOTH and to transfer identifier data required for establishing and maintaining a BLUETOOTH link communication between said first device and said second device, and wherein said first device is provided with a bar code exhibiting data including the device identifier data, and wherein said second device comprises a bar code reader adapted to read said device identifier data.
