  • Automatically pairing a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) device to a user device
    Patent number: 10743165
    Abstract: A method is provided for automatically pairing a user device to an audio output device. A user device generates an identifier and transmits an audio version of the identifier over a Bluetooth profile capable of transmitting audio to an audio output device. The audio output device generates a data version of the received identifier and transmits the data version of the identifier of a different link. The application running on the user device receives the data version of the identifier and automatically pairs with the audio output device.
