Abstract
Methods are provided for automatic pairing of a first electronic device and a second electronic device in a radio communications system. Such methods can include bringing the first and second electronic devices in proximity to each other and transmitting an inquiry signal from the second electronic device. Such methods can also include transmitting an inquiry response signal from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, upon detecting the inquiry signal and establishing, in the second electronic device, a High Level Authentication connection with the first electronic device, based on the first electronic device being the first device to respond to the inquiry signal. Such methods can further include transmitting a private key from the second electronic device to the first electronic device, creating a common unique passkey, and initiating a pairing, by the first electronic device, using the unique passkey.
