1. A method, comprising:
- sensing a first change in apparatus disposition in an apparatus;
initiating device discovery in the apparatus to detect wireless communication devices in response to the sensed first change;
determining when any detected wireless communication devices satisfy a predetermined response criteria, the predetermined response criteria comprising receiving a plurality of response messages, each of which includes a frequency hopping synchronization packet and an extended inquiry response packet, having a measured signal strength at or above a predetermined signal strength level, wherein the plurality of response messages are received from a single wireless communication device; and
when it is determined by the apparatus that the predetermined response criteria is satisfied, selecting a wireless communication device that satisfies the predetermined response criteria.

Abstract
A system for selectively expediting connection establishment between apparatuses. In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus may sense a first change in the disposition of the apparatus, and may initiate device discovery based on the first sensed change. A determination may then be made in the apparatus as to whether another apparatus encountered by the apparatus during device discovery satisfies a predetermined response criteria. The apparatus may then select the other apparatus if it is determined that the other apparatus satisfies the predetermined response criteria.
