Methods and Systems for Establishing Communications Between Devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing a first connection between a first device and a second device with a first networking standard and associated first network;
establishing a second connection between the first device and the second device with a second networking standard and associated second network based on the first connection providing information to at least one of the first and second devices regarding the second network; and
transferring data between the first and second devices using the second networking standard.

Abstract
At least certain embodiments of the disclosures relate to establishing communications between devices with a first connection. A second connection is established between the devices to transfer data between the devices and/or alter configurations of the devices. In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a first connection between a first device and a second device with a first networking standard and associated first network. The method further includes establishing a second connection between the first device and the second device with a second networking standard and associated second network based on the first connection providing information to at least one of the first and second devices regarding the second network. The method further includes transferring data between the first and second devices using the second networking standard. In one embodiment, the first networking standard is a Bluetooth networking standard and the second networking standard is a WiFi networking standard.
