MOBILE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE PROVIDING BLUETOOTH SWITCHOVER FEATURES BASED UPON NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC)

摘要

A mobile wireless communications device may include a near field communication (NFC) transceiver, a Bluetooth transceiver, and a controller coupled with the NFC transceiver and the Bluetooth transceiver. The controller may be configured to communicate with a first Bluetooth device via the Bluetooth transceiver using at least one Bluetooth profile supported by the first Bluetooth device, communicate with a second Bluetooth device via the NFC transceiver and determine if the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device, and when the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device, cease using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the first Bluetooth device and begin using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the second Bluetooth device.
