The present invention automatically selects the wireless mode of a device.
The user of a Bluetooth device has the benefit of discoverable mode with
the relative safety of connectable mode. The mode of the device is
automatically switched from discoverable to connectable and back based on
the activity of the device. For example, the mode may be switched to
discoverable mode when the device is determined to be active and to
connectable mode when the device is determined to be inactive. The device
may be determined to be active based on many criteria, including, but not
limited to: determining when a screen associated with the device is
active; determining when the device is not key locked; and determining
when the device is active further comprises determining when a lid
associated with the device is open.
