  • Publication number: 20100255778
    Abstract: An improved method of forming connections between Bluetooth devices is provided. A first device maintains a contacts database wherein the addresses of further Bluetooth devices are stored in the same records as the owners of those devices. When the first device wishes to connect to the device belonging to any persons in the contacts database, it simply retrieved the address from the database and starts sending Bluetooth packets; this eliminates the discovery and name request steps from the Bluetooth protocol, saving time and power.
