ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, method, and system for a database of Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth directory database accelerates, facilitates, and simplifies communications. Communications are made more efficient with a connectivity tool. Both the Bluetooth directory database and connectivity tool may be integrated into a Bluetooth device. The connectivity tool uses the Bluetooth directory database to correlate Bluetooth addresses of various devices together with other device identifiers, e.g., cleartextual representations. Thus, when other Bluetooth devices are encountered, information obtained from inquiry and/or page responses may be saved into the Bluetooth directory database for future reference. In one non-limiting example embodiment, communications are more efficient because the connectivity tool reduces the amount of subsequent Bluetooth inquiries and responses required to identify and/or engage in communications with Bluetooth devices. Rather than inquiring to identify and locate Bluetooth devices in a particular coverage area and requiring user selections, the Bluetooth directory database may be used as a cache to retrieve a desired device's communication information (i.e., its correlated Bluetooth address, its functionality (e.g. GOEP, SDAP, etc. profiles), its other related information) and communications may commence more efficiently as a result by directing communications based on the retrieved communication information.
