Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause performance of operations comprising: successfully establishing a Bluetooth connection between a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device and another device, receiving, by the BLE device from the other device, a request for a change in a configuration, determining, by the BLE device, if the BLE device is in a configuration-changes-enabled state, responsive to determining that the BLE device is in a configuration-changes-enabled state, changing the configuration based on the request, and responsive to determining that the BLE device is not in a configuration-changes-enabled state, refraining from changing the configuration.

First claim
