Abstract: Techniques are described herein for smart page scanning through identifier sensing, An example method includes a first core receiving, by a first core of a first computing device, a first paging message from a second device at a first duration. The first computing device can determine that a second core of the first computing device is performing an operation that prevents completion of a paging process. The first computing device can determine a second duration for a second paging message based at least in part on determining that the second core is performing the operation. The first computing device can cause the second core to scan for the second paging message from the second computing device at the second duration. The second core can receive the second paging message at the second duration. The second core can transmit a paging response for establishing the connection with the second device.

Abstract: A housing has a bud portion abutting an elongated stem portion. The bud portion is to fit within an ear. The bud portion has a primary sound outlet at its far end that is to be inserted into an outer ear canal, and abuts the stem portion at its near end. A speaker driver is inside the bud portion. Electronic circuitry inside the housing includes a wireless communications interface to receive audio content over-the-air and in response provides an audio signal to the speaker driver. A rechargeable battery as a power source for the electronic circuitry is located inside a cavity of the stem portion. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for performing a role swapping operation between a pair of non-tethered wireless ear 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.
