Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments include a system having a first device and a second device that are configured to establish a connection via a short-range protocol. The first and second devices perform an advertisement process to automatically identify that the first and second devices are capable of establishing the connection, the advertisement process comprising one of the first device or second device broadcasting an advertisement and the other one of the first device or the second device scanning for the advertisement, wherein, upon the first and second devices identifying that they are capable of establishing the connection, the first and second devices perform a paging mechanism to establish the connection, the paging mechanism comprising one of the first device or the second device transmitting a page and the other one of the first device or the second device scanning for the page, wherein the page triggers an operation to establish the connection.
