METHODS AND DEVICES FOR FACILITATING BLUETOOTH PAIRING USING A CAMERA AS A BARCODE SCANNER
First Claim
1. A method of performing Bluetooth pairing on a device, the method performed by a processor of the device, the method comprising:
- generating a barcode that encodes pairing data and pairing initiation data usable to automatically initiate a Bluetooth pairing at a second device, the pairing data comprising a Bluetooth address and a personal identification number both associated with the device and usable to complete the Bluetooth pairing;
transmitting the barcode; and
performing the Bluetooth pairing after receiving an automatic response from the second device.

Abstract
Embodiments of the systems, devices and methods described herein generally facilitate performing Bluetooth pairing between a first device and a second device. In accordance with one example embodiment, a first device generates a barcode that encodes Bluetooth pairing data for transmission to the second device, wherein the pairing data comprises a Bluetooth address associated with the first device, and wherein the pairing data further comprises a personal identification number usable to complete the Bluetooth pairing, the barcode is transmitted to the second device, and Bluetooth pairing is performed with the second device.
