1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- an input device;
wireless communication circuitry capable of supporting a wireless connection;
a switch to select a first external device or a second external device in response to a single input received via the switch; and
a processor adapted to;
establish, using the wireless communication circuitry, the wireless connection with the first external device if the single input corresponds to the first external device;
establish, using the wireless communication circuitry, the wireless connection with the second external device if the single input corresponds to the second external device;
receive another input via the input device after the establishing of the wireless connection with a corresponding external device of the first external device and the second external device;
transmit, via the wireless connection, a first command generated in response to the other input to the first external device if the wireless connection is established with the first external device and not with the second external device; and
transmit, via the wireless connection, a second command generated in response to the other input to the second external device if the wireless connection is established with the second external device and not with the first external device.

Abstract
A Bluetooth pairing method in an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a change of a switching state of a switch of the electronic device, selecting a Bluetooth Device (BD) address according to the changed switching state among a plurality of stored BD addresses, and applying the selected BD address to a Bluetooth pairing. The method can facilitate Bluetooth pairing to selectable types of host devices.

7. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more keys; wireless communication circuitry capable of supporting a wireless connection; a switch to receive a first user input corresponding to a selection of a first external device or a second external device; and a processor adapted to; establish, using the wireless communication circuitry, the wireless connection with the first external device if the first user input corresponds to the first external device; establish, using the wireless communication circuitry, the wireless connection with the second external device if the first user input corresponds to the second external device; receive a second user input via at least one key of the one or more keys; if the wireless connection is established with the first external device and not with the second external device, transmit a signal corresponding to the second user input to the first external device such that a first command is to be performed by the first external device based at least in part on the signal; and if the wireless connection is established with the second external device and not with the first external device, transmit the signal corresponding to the second user input to the second external device such that a second command is to be performed by the second external device based at least in part on the signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
