Body contact communication optimization with link key exchange

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to a method and a wireless communication device that optimizes communication between devices which is body contact initiated. The method, performed in the wireless communication device comprises pairing with another wireless communication device using a first communication technology, wherein the first communication technology is Body Coupled Communication, BCC, technology, exchanging, between the wireless communication device and the other wireless communication device, using BCC technology, device specific information associated with pairing in a second communication technology and connecting with the other wireless communication device, using the second communication technology, thereby performing a handover from BCC technology to the second communication technology.

1. A method, performed in a wireless communication device, for body contact initiated communication, comprising:
pairing with another wireless communication device using a first communication technology, wherein the first communication technology is Body Coupled Communication, BCC, technology; exchanging, between the wireless communication device and the other wireless communication device, using BCC technology, device specific information associated with pairing in a second communication technology, wherein the device specific information associated with pairing in the second communication technology comprises a link key; connecting with the other wireless communication device, using the second communication technology, thereby performing a handover from BCC technology to the second communication technology; continuously pinging for the other wireless communication device using BCC technology; and disconnecting the connection to the other wireless communication device with the second communication technology when a BCC contact to the other communication device is lost.
