Bluetooth wireless communication apparatus and method of notifying users of devices connectable to ad-hoc networks to establish effective connections based on a user's selection
First Claim
1. A Bluetooth wireless communication apparatus for identifying devices connectable to ad-hoc networks, comprising:
- a user interface enabling a user to select at least one desired device among peripheral devices; and
a control unit for providing, through the user interface, information on the peripheral devices connectable to a wireless communication device, and, if said at least one desired device is selected through the user interface, establishing a connection to only said at least one desired device, out of the peripheral devices.

Abstract
Disclosed is a Bluetooth wireless communication apparatus and method for indicating devices connectable to ad-hoc networks. The Bluetooth wireless communication apparatus is provided with a user interface and a control unit. The user interface enables a user to select a device to which he or she wishes to connect. The control unit provides, through the user interface, information on peripheral devices in a range connectable to the wireless communication device, and, if a device to which the user wants to connect is selected through the user interface, establishes a connection to only a device to which the user wishes to connect, out of the peripheral devices. Accordingly, connection is made only to a device that a user wishes, while connection to the devices to which the user does not want to connect is not made.
