Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems and devices for assisted discovery in Bluetooth enabled devices. The method described herein can include initiating a discovery procedure in a Bluetooth device (202), initiating a service discovery protocol in another Bluetooth device (204), such as a mobile communication device, sending a search request from the mobile communication device (204) to the Bluetooth device (202) via a Bluetooth link, and generating a pattern for transmission by the Bluetooth device (202) to the mobile communication device (204) via an ancillary communication link (214, 226).

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system and apparatus for injecting a Bluetooth address of a Bluetooth device (202) into a mobile communication device (204) to avoid the discovery process in pairing. The method includes receiving by an intermediary device (21), Bluetooth address data associated with a Bluetooth device (202), converting the Bluetooth address data to a format suitable for storage in a mobile communication device (204), to form converted Bluetooth address data, and transferring by the intermediary device (210), the converted Bluetooth address data to memory in the mobile communication device (204).
