Patent attributes
Methods and apparatuses for enhanced security for near field communication Bluetooth devices are described. In one example, a physical proximity of a Bluetooth device is detected with a first near field communications device disposed at a headset base, the Bluetooth device including a second near field communications device. An indication is output at the headset base that a near field communications detect event has occurred. A Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing process is unlocked at the headset base device for a predetermined unlock time interval responsive to the near field communications detect event. The headset base and the Bluetooth device are paired using the Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing process, and the Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing process operation is locked upon completion of the predetermined unlock time interval.
