Hi

Dont know if this is the right place to ask this, but I will try it as
it is also about bluetooth.

Imagine the following scenario:

There is a pc application, on a machine that has a bluetooth card.
This application starts a thread, and every minute makes a check to
see if there are bluetooth enabled devices that it can try to connect
to.

Lets say you have a mobile phone, bluetooth enabled, and you are quite
near my computer. The app will discover your phone, and will now try
to send a request to it. You see on your mobile phone that someone
want to initiate a bluetooth communication with you.

Lest say now that you reject this request. The computer app will be
informed about this, that a mobile phone rejected the request. Fine.
But the question is: is it possible to uniquely identify the mobile
phone that rejected my request? I dont want to send a new request to
this phone after a minute, as you already rejected my request.

Is it possilbe to save somewhere, in the computer's app the
information regarding the unique identifier for a device? For a device
that didnt give me access to it? Getting the IMIEI number from that
device would solve the problem, but it sounds very unprobable that it
is possible to retrieve such information from a device that never
accepted your request. What do you think?
