Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for discovering a service using personal area network protocols. SOLUTION: Generally, a personal area network covers only a few feet or few meter of a physical space. The personal area network can be wired or wireless. Wired personal networks can include, e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE1394 (or Fire Wire) connections. Wireless personal networks can include, e.g., IrDA, Bluetooth, UWB, Z-Wave and ZigBee. The service discovery results in indication of services that are available not necessarily via the physical devices for providing services but via the personal area network. A wireless device may utilize DNS formatted data over a Bluetooth connection to determine services available from other Bluetooth devices within range. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for performing a role swapping operation between a pair of non-tethered wireless ear 5 buds after detecting a triggering event. Further, state information can be coordinated between devices, including in connection with performing a role swap between buds in a pair of wireless, untethered ear buds, where one wireless ear bud is in a primary role and is responsible for a connection with a companion device, and another wireless ear bud in the pair is in a secondary role.

Abstract:
A proximity fence can be a location agnostic fence defined by signal sources having no geographic location information. The proximity fence can correspond to a group of signal sources instead of a point location fixed to latitude and longitude coordinates. A signal source can be a radio frequency (RF) transmitter broadcasting a beacon signal. The beacon signal can include a payload that includes an identifier indicating a category to which the signal source belongs, and one or more labels indicating one or more subcategories to which the signal source belongs. The proximity fence defined by the group of signal sources can trigger different functions of application programs associated with the proximity fence on a mobile device, when the mobile device moves within the proximity fence and enters and exits different parts of the proximity fence corresponding to the different subcategories.

Techniques to provide service discovery via personal area network protocols. A personal area network is generally a network that covers only a few feet or meters of physical space. Personal area networks can be wired or wireless. Wired personal area networks include, for example, Universal serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 (or Fire Wire) connections. Wireless personal area networks can include, for example, IrDA, Bluetooth, UWB, Z-Wave and ZigBee. Service discovery results in indication of services that are available via the personal area network and not necessarily the physical devices that provide the services. A wireless device may utilize DNS formatted data over a Bluetooth connection to determine services that are available from other Bluetooth devices within range.
Abstract:
Techniques for discovering and/or advertising services are described herein. A first bitmask is received from a remote device over a wireless network, the first bitmask having one or more bits that have a predetermined logical value. Each bit represents a particular service provided by the remote device. A logical operation is performed between the first bitmask and a second bitmask locally generated within a local device, where the second bitmask represents a service being searched by the local device. It is determined whether the remote device is potentially capable of providing the service being searched by the local device based on a result of the logical operation.
Abstract:
Techniken, um Dienstermittlung über Kurzstreckennetzwerkprotokolle bereitzustellen. Ein Kurzstreckennetzwerk ist im allgemeinen ein Netzwerk, das nur einige Fuß oder Meter an physikalischem Raum einnimmt. Kurzstreckennetzwerke können drahtgebunden oder drahtlos sein. Drahtgebundene Kurzstreckennetzwerke beinhalten z. B. Universal Serial Bus (USB) und IEEE 1394 (oder FireWire)-Verbindungen. Drahtlose Kurzstreckennetzwerke können z. B. IrDA, Bluetooth, UWB, Z-Wave und ZigBee umfassen. Die Dienstermittlung resultiert in einem Hinweis auf Dienste, die über das Kurzstreckennetzwerk und nicht notwendigerweise die physikalischen Vorrichtungen, die die Dienste bereitstellen, verfügbar sind. Eine drahtlose Vorrichtung kann DNS-formatierte Daten über eine Bluetooth-Verbindung verwenden, um Dienste zu bestimmen, die von anderen Bluetooth-Vorrichtungen innerhalb der Reichweite verfügbar sind.

Verfahren zur Kommunikation zwischen elektronischen Vorrichtungen, wobei das Verfahren umfasst: Aktivieren eines Kommunikationskanals, der eine Trägerfrequenz in einer Funkeinrichtung in einer Schnittstellenschaltung aufweist, um auf ein Bewerbungs-Frame von Interesse von einer anderen elektronischen Vorrichtung zu hören, während eines Scanfensters mit einer vorgegebenen Dauer; und wenn das Bewerbungs-Frame von Interesse von der anderen elektronischen Vorrichtung empfangen wird, Beenden des Abhörens bevor die vordefinierte Dauer abgelaufen ist und Übermitteln, unter Verwendung des Kommunikationskanals der Funkeinrichtung, einer Verbindungsanfrage an die andere elektronische Vorrichtung, um eine Verbindung mit der anderen elektronischen Vorrichtung einzurichten.
