Mobile wireless communications device providing Bluetooth switchover features based upon near field communication (NFC)

A method for using a mobile wireless communications device comprising a near field communication (NFC) transceiver and a Bluetooth transceiver, the method comprising:

• communicating with a first Bluetooth device via the Bluetooth transceiver using at least one Bluetooth profile supported by the first Bluetooth device;
• communicating with a second Bluetooth device via the NFC transceiver and determining if the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device;
• and
• when the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device, ceasing using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the first Bluetooth device and beginning using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the second Bluetooth device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for a mobile wireless communications device comprising a near field communication (NFC) transceiver and a Bluetooth transceiver, the non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for causing the mobile wireless communications device to at least:

• communicate with a first Bluetooth device via the Bluetooth transceiver using at least one Bluetooth profile supported by the first Bluetooth device;
• communicate with a second Bluetooth device via the NFC transceiver and determine if the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device;
• and
• when the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device, cease using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the first Bluetooth device and begin using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the second Bluetooth device.
