Abstract:
A method is disclosed for switching connections of Bluetooth headsets. The method includes indicating, on a user interface of the first Bluetooth device, (i) the first Bluetooth device has a first Bluetooth connection with a Bluetooth headset, and (ii) a second Bluetooth device has no Bluetooth connection with the Bluetooth headset. Also, the method includes receiving user input to establish a second Bluetooth connection between the second Bluetooth device and the Bluetooth headset. Further, the method includes sending a message to the Bluetooth headset. The message includes a unique device identifier of the second Bluetooth device. The message represents a command for the Bluetooth headset to establish the second Bluetooth connection with the second Bluetooth device. Responsive to the message, the Bluetooth headset (i) releases the first Bluetooth connection with the first Bluetooth device and (ii) establishes the second Bluetooth connection with the second Bluetooth device.
