Abstract
A wireless device triggers pairing or un-pairing between the wireless device and another wireless device. The wireless device further exchanges media access control (MAC) addresses, pairing magic numbers (PMNs), and pairing indices with the another wireless device so as to establish the pairing with the another wireless device upon the condition that the wireless device triggers the pairing. The wireless device further exchanges the MAC addresses, the PMNs, and the pairing indices with the another wireless device so as to establish the unpairing with the another wireless device upon the condition that the wireless device triggers the unpairing. The pairing magic numbers are operable to identify the pairing between the wireless device and the another wireless device. The pairing indices are operable to launch the MAC addresses, the PMNs, and the pairing indices.
