Abstract
A method and apparatus establish a connection in a mobile terminal with a device compatible with BLUETOOTH, a short range wireless communications technology at the 2.4 GHz band. If connectable BLUETOOTH devices are detected in the vicinity of the mobile terminal and there is at least one priority-registered BLUETOOTH device among the detected BLUETOOTH devices, the mobile terminal connects with a highest-priority BLUETOOTH device among the detected BLUETOOTH devices. If other connectable BLUETOOTH devices are detected in the vicinity of the mobile terminal while the mobile terminal is connected to a BLUETOOTH device, and there is at least one priority-registered BLUETOOTH device higher in priority than the currently connected BLUETOOTH device, among the detected BLUETOOTH devices, the mobile terminal switches the connection to a highest-priority BLUETOOTH device among the detected BLUETOOTH devices.
