Abstract:
A wireless technology device and method for securely communicating a status of a wireless technology device to a non-paired device, includes detecting a status changing event of the wireless technology device, locking the wireless technology device from an unauthorized pairing with another device, in response to detecting the status changing event, sending an encrypted data regarding the status changing event to at least one non-paired device, which is received in a buffer of the at least one non-paired device, wherein, in response to receiving the encrypted data, the at least one non-paired device automatically communicates the encrypted data to a centralized computing network for decrypting the encrypted data, and unlocking the wireless technology device when an authorized pairing attempt is successful.
