ABSTRACT:
Some aspects include a method of associating electronic devices for communicating data. The method includes receiving a message on a first device indicating that a second device is discoverable and pairable. The method further includes determining whether the first device is pairable, transmitting a pairing response to the second device based on the determination that the first device is pairable, and pairing the first device to the second device in response to the received message and the determination that the first device is pairable. For example, some aspects include devices such as headsets, watches, and medical devices configured to use such methods for communicating data.
