Abstract:
1. A method for providing improved wireless connection using third party programming capability, said method comprising the steps of: (a) determining whether at least one slave device needs to connect to an external terminal in order to perform a search and connect function of at least one neighboring wireless target device(s); (b) connecting, when said at least one slave device needs to connect to an external terminal in order to perform a search and connect function of said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s), to said external terminal; (c) determining whether there is a need to search for said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s); (d) entering, when there is no need to search for said neighboring wireless target device(s), at least one of the following comprising a MAC address, PIN code and a device name of said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) manually; (e) generating, when there is a need to search for said at least one neighboring wireless target device, lists of available said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) at said external terminal where said slave device and said external terminal are connected, and generating lists of available said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) at said slave device where said slave device has not connected to said external terminal; (f) selecting said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) for connection; (g) defining connection options with said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s), including an automatic or manual connection option; (h) executing a connection between said slave device and said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) based upon said at least one automatic or manual connection option; (i) determining whether said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) requires additional authentication, wherein said step of determining whether said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) requires additional authentication including a recognition as to whether said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) is a closed system device that prevents paging and inquiry from resulting in a complete connection; and (j) executing, where said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s) requires said additional authentication, an additional authentication between said slave device and said at least one neighboring wireless target device(s).
