  • Method and apparatus for performing role management of short-range wireless connections
    Patent number: 8396424
    Abstract: A first wireless device is operable to perform role management of short-range wireless connections with other wireless devices over short-range wireless links that utilize a short-range wireless protocol, such as the Bluetooth protocol. According to one embodiment, the first wireless device accepts a request from a second wireless device to establish a connection over a short-range wireless link such that the first wireless device temporarily performs a slave role with respect to the connection. Responsive to establishing the connection, the first wireless device initiates a disconnect of the connection and then communicates a new request to the second wireless device to establish a new connection. Upon receiving an acceptance of the new request from the second wireless device, the first wireless device establishes the new connection over the short-range wireless link such that the first device performs a master role with respect to the new connection.
