Abstract
A first user equipment (UE) includes a display, at least two communication mechanisms that respectively supports a first and a second communication mode, and a processor communicatively coupled to the display and the communication mechanisms. The first UE further includes a failed pairing notification (FPN) utility that configures the first UE to: initiate communication with a second UE via a first communication mode; and in response to a trigger condition indicating that the first communication mode is not supported at either the first UE or the second UE, generate a notification alerting a user of the first UE that (1) a different communication mode is required for the first UE to communicate with the second UE and (2) an authorization QR code is required to be exchanged between the first UE and the second UE as an authentication mechanism before the communication can be established via the different communication mode.
