Abstract
Described are methods and systems to preset a Bluetooth enabled headset and a Bluetooth enabled conference hub, so that at the time of a conference call, they are pre-paired and ready for use. Pairing information of a particular Bluetooth headset may be stored with a server and downloaded to a particular conference at the time of the scheduled conference. When a conference call is scheduled, via for example an email client conference scheduling tool, the hub will be automatically preset so that when a particular user with a headset comes within range, the headset and hub are paired and may transmit and receive communications between them. The described methods and systems can be used in large scale and small scale businesses with dynamic conferencing needs. The methods and systems can integrate with widely available email client conference scheduling tools currently used by many business enterprises.
