19. A method for muting a remote Bluetooth device by a peer Bluetooth device, comprising:
-
detecting that mute is enabled at the peer Bluetooth device; generating a mute remote microphone message to disable audio transmission functionality of the remote Bluetooth device; and sending, by a Bluetooth controller of the peer Bluetooth device, the mute remote microphone message to the remote Bluetooth device, wherein the remote Bluetooth device disables microphone path codec processing and disables audio-related wireless transmissions to the peer Bluetooth device upon receiving the mute remote microphone message. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 24)
