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;
displaying the barcode on a display of the device; and
in response to receiving an automatic response from the second device, automatically performing the Bluetooth pairing using the pairing data.

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.
