Abstract

A method and system for improved communication are disclosed herein. In at least one example embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method of communication by a first device with second and third devices. The method includes engaging in first communications with the second device, with which the first device is in a first paired relationship, terminating the first paired relationship, and either receiving from the third device a request to enter into a second paired relationship or sending to the third device the request to enter into the second paired relationship. Additionally, the method includes either outputting an image for detection by the third device, or detecting the image when output by the third device. Further, the method includes communicating with the third device so as to establish the second paired relationship with the third device and, upon establishing that relationship, automatically reestablishing the first paired relationship.
