Patent number: 10356093Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards establishing a network connection between a mobile device and an automobile head unit. A user of the mobile device interacts with a user interface on the mobile device to establish the connection with the head unit. If authorized, the head unit disconnects a currently connected device if the connection is to be via classic Bluetooth protocols. If the head unit has reached a maximum number of registered mobile devices, then the head unit sends a request to the mobile device for a selection of which currently registered mobile devices are to be unregistered. The head unit registers the mobile device with the head unit and establishes the connection between the mobile device and the head unit via classic Bluetooth protocols or Bluetooth Low Energy protocols depending on the type of connection request.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Xevo Inc.Inventor: Shin Yamamoto
