Abstract
A method may include detecting a first wireless device configured to perform short-range wireless communications and detecting a second wireless device configured to perform short-range wireless communications. The method may also include determining one or more short-range wireless connection priorities with respect to a first pairing and a second pairing. The first pairing may be with respect to short-range wireless communications between the first wireless device and a third wireless device configured to perform short-range wireless communications. The second pairing may be with respect to short-range wireless communications between the second wireless device and the third wireless device. The method may further include managing the first pairing and the second pairing based on the one or more short-range wireless connection priorities.
