This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18337105 titled 'MANAGED AUTOMATIC PARING
Original Abstract Submitted
In (IT) managed automatic paring, short-range wireless (e.g., Bluetooth®) (peripheral) devices are configured to add an advertisement packet to a short-range wireless device advertisement. A managing Information Handling System (IHS) detects and parses out the advertisement packet from the advertisement, pairs with the device, generates a short-range wireless device identifier using the advertisement packet, stores the device identifier on the managing IHS and the device to establish a device pair identity for the device, and transfers the device identifier to a target IHS to assign the device to the target IHS and provision the target IHS to automatically pair with the device. The managing IHS may then delete resulting pairing information. The target IHS may detect and parse out the advertisement packet from the advertisement, confirm that the target IHS is provisioned to automatically pair with the device, request a pairing passkey, and initiate secure pairing with the device.
