ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for automatically selecting, as a master, an optimum Bluetooth device for the master which can be stably connected to more devices in a Bluetooth network. According to the present invention, each of Bluetooth apparatuses capable of being masters acquires the device address of the connectable Bluetooth apparatus in response to an inquiry at101, then, the each Bluetooth apparatus capable of being the masters acquires evaluation information such as the number of device address discoveries from the other Bluetooth apparatuses at105, and the evaluation information of a self-device is compared with the acquired evaluation information of the other device at106to113in order to determine the Bluetooth apparatus to be the master based on a predetermined evaluating method for the evaluation information which is acquired. Thus, the master/slave decision of the self-device is caused to proceed.
