Hello! One of the issues that we have in Tizen 3.0 with Bluetooth is that we need to support multiple users on the same system and decide how they are going to share access to paired Bluetooth devices.
At the moment in Bluez, all pairing is global, so all users of a system get access to all paired devices. This was also discussed at a recent GENIVI CE expert f2f meeting and the consensus was that this is undesirable for some devices (in particular mobile phones, because they contain confidential data), while it is needed for others (a Bluetooth keyboard was mentioned; it needs to be usable globally before the user logs in, for example to allow him to log in by entering a password in the first place). Luiz, can you summarize your idea how "private device pairing" could be done inside Bluez? How likely is it that this can be implemented soonish? Everyone, do we agree that we want this for Tizen 3.0? -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
