1. A method for communication, the method comprising:
- performing by a Bluetooth host controller that is located within a Bluetooth proximity host communication device;
generating a Bluetooth presence trigger when a Bluetooth proximity device enters a corresponding presence range of said Bluetooth proximity host communication device; and
generating a Bluetooth away trigger when a Bluetooth proximity device goes out of a corresponding away range of said Bluetooth proximity host communication device, wherein actions performed on said Bluetooth proximity host communication device are controlled based on said one of said Bluetooth presence trigger and said Bluetooth away trigger.
