Abstract:
In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention there is at least a method, apparatus, and an executable computer program enabling a first communications device and a second communications device, possibly previously unknown to each other, to communicate with each other wirelessly using short-range radio frequency technology. A connection establishment process is executed to establish a connection between the first communications device and said second communications device. Further, in accordance with the embodiments, during the connection establishment process, or in response to successful completion of the connection establishment process, at least one of said first and second communications devices switches from said first mode into a second mode, in which second mode, the communications device that has switched into said second mode does not respond to messages arriving at it which have been sent to discover the address of the communications device that has switched into said second mode.
