Non-networked wireless communication
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including executable instructions, the at least one memory and the executable instructions being configured to, in cooperation with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;
transmit an ID packet to detect one or more wireless short-range communication devices within a short-range communication coverage area of the apparatus;
receive, in response to the transmitted ID packet, a frequency hopping synchronization (FHS) packet from at least one wireless short-range communication device within the coverage area, wherein the received FHS packet comprise at least identification information regarding the wireless short-range communication device;
determine that information received in the received FHS packet establishes that the apparatus has pending data pre-stored for transmitting to the detected wireless short-range communication device;
transmit a FHS packet comprising at least identification information regarding the apparatus and an indication of an additional extended inquiry response (EIR) packet in response to the received FHS packet; and
transmit the EIR packet comprising the pending data pre-stored for transmitting to the detected wireless short-range communication device, without the apparatus and the detected wireless short-range communication device participating in a previously established wireless network.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, the invention relates to a method comprising: transmitting (410), by an apparatus, a message to detect one or more wireless communication devices; receiving (420), in response to the transmitted message, at least one response message comprising at least identification information regarding a wireless communication device; determining (430) that the apparatus has data suitable for transmitting to the wireless communication device without establishing a formal communication connection with the wireless communication device; and transmitting (440) one or more subsequent messages to the wireless communication device in response to the received response message, wherein the one or more subsequent messages comprise at least the data suitable for transmitting to the wireless communication device without establishing a formal communication connection.
