Is it possible to “pair” a Bluetooth BLE device so that they automatically pair in range? (i.e., the iPhone application establishes a connection with the Bluetooth device, and from then on, the iPhone automatically connects to the device if it is in range, even if the application has not been opened for several days and completely closed).
After reconnecting, the device can either use background event processing to prompt the user to open the application or otherwise interact with a possibly dependent application (as described here ).
Anecdotally, I used Bluetooth keyboards that automatically connect to my laptop when it is in range. This is not necessarily a BLE device, is it something that is possible on a BLE land?
Is this possible if the iPhone was a server instead of a device? What if this was done using traditional Bluetooth as part of the MFI program?
There are some relevant comments on the Apple Bluetooth-dev mailing list as well , but nothing that clarified this for me. Thank you for your help.
