METHOD OF ESTABLISHING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONNECTION

摘要

The invention relates to a method of establishing a wireless communication connection between a source apparatus ( 20 ) and the spatially closest target apparatus ( 12 ). The source apparatus ( 20 ) transmits search signals ( 21 ) at an increasing range (Rd), and a communication connection ( 22 ) is established with that target apparatus ( 12 ) which is the first to be within range of the search signals ( 21 ). After the communication connection has been established, the range (Rc) for the actual communication connection ( 22 ) is preferably increased. The communication may be realized particularly in accordance with a Bluetooth protocol and may be used in, for example, a patient-monitoring system.
