ABSTRACT:
The present invention automatically selects the wireless mode of a device. The user of a Bluetooth device has the benefit of discoverable mode with the relative safety of connectable mode. The mode of the device is automatically switched from discoverable to connectable and back based on the activity of the device. For example, the mode may be switched to discoverable mode when the device is determined to be active and to connectable mode when the device is determined to be inactive. The device may be determined to be active based on many criteria, including, but not limited to: determining when a screen associated with the device is active; determining when the device is not key locked; and determining when the device is active further comprises determining when a lid associated with the device is open.
