Abstract
A BLUETOOTH® enabled computing device is configured to use a 'pseudo' device identifier to prevent undesired device interference during BLUETOOTH® pairing. The computing device includes a processor configured to a) retrieve a first BLUETOOTH® device identifier used for identifying the computing device, b) convert the first BLUETOOTH® device identifier into a second BLUETOOTH® device identifier, c) advertise availability of the computing device using the second BLUETOOTH® device identifier, d) receive a pairing request from a second computing device, e) establish a BLUETOOTH® communications path between the computing device and the second computing device, wherein the BLUETOOTH® communications path is created based at least partially on the second BLUETOOTH® device identifier, f) provide the first BLUETOOTH® device identifier as a substitute for the second BLUETOOTH® device identifier, and g) update the BLUETOOTH® communications path between the computing device and the second computing device based on the first BLUETOOTH® device identifier.
