    Abstract: A secure wireless communication link (pairing) between two devices can be established using wireless transmissions between devices not joined to a network ("probes"). One device can broadcast a first probe indicating that it is seeking to establish a pairing. The other device can respond with a second probe, and the two devices can establish a shared secret, e.g., by exchanging further information using additional probes. A shared secret is established by exchanging public keys with a controller using a plurality of additional probes including at least a third probe sent by an accessory and a fourth probe received by the accessory, validating by the accessory that the shared secret is shared by the controller. The accessory then generates a further cryptographic key using the shared secret and receives a fifth probe from the controller which contains an encrypted message. Thereafter, either device can send a message to the other by encrypting the message using a cryptographic key derived from the shared secret; encrypted messages can also be sent within probes. The receiving device can extract an encrypted message from a probe and decrypt it using the cryptographic key. The encrypted message can include credentials usable by the receiving device to join a wireless network.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing primary transport service discovery information over one or more alternate transports that are not normally associated with the primary transport services. In one embodiment, the primary transport comprises a first wireless interface (e.g., Bluetooth), and the alternate transport comprises a second wireless interface (e.g., WiFi or WiMAX). Service profile information relating to the primary transport is broadcast to other users over the alternate transport in a more efficient and streamlined manner than that available on the primary transport. The other users store this service profile information so that it can be subsequently accessed for service profile discovery of the transmitting device by those other devices, thereby obviating subsequent transfer of the data over any transport (primary or alternate).

    Abstract translation: 用于通过一般或不与主要运输服务相关联的一个或多个替代运输提供主要运输服务发现信息的方法和装置。 在一个实施例中,主传输包括第一无线接口(例如,蓝牙),并且备用传输包括第二无线接口(例如,WiFi或WiMAX)。 与主要运输相关的服务简档信息以比主要运输上可用的更有效和流畅的方式通过备用运输方式向其他用户广播。 其他用户存储该服务简档信息,使得其随后可被其他设备的发送设备的服务配置文件发现访问,从而避免随后通过任何传输(主要或备用)传输数据。

    Abstract: A device displays a first user interface on a first display, including a plurality of objects and corresponding to a second user interface on a second display. While a first object is displayed as a selected object in the second user interface, the device: detects a first input requesting information about a second object; and in response to detecting the first input, displays information about the second object in the first user interface and maintains display of the first object as the selected object in the second user interface. After displaying the information, the device detects a second input selecting the second object. In response to detecting selection of the second input, the device: displays the second object as the selected object in the first user interface; and provides, to the second display, information that enables the second user interface to display the second object as the selected object.

    Abstract: System und Verfahren zum Routen von Kommunikation zu einer gemeinsamen Audioausgabevorrichtung, die mit jeder von zwei oder mehr Audiosignalquellenvorrichtungen verbunden ist. Für jede der zwei oder mehr Audiosignalquellenvorrichtungen wird ein Satz von Eingaben bewertet. Der Satz von Eingaben schließt Folgendes ein: einen Betriebszustand der Audiosignalquellenvorrichtung, eine Aktivität der Audiosignalquellenvorrichtung, eine von der Audiosignalquellenvorrichtung ausgeführte Audio erzeugenden Anwendung und einen Grad der Benutzeraktivität mit der von der Audiosignalquelle ausgeführten Audio erzeugenden Anwendung. Zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt wird eine Audio-Routing-Auswertung für jede der zwei oder mehr Audiosignalquellenvorrichtungen gemäß einer gewichteten Berechnung des Satzes von Eingaben basierend auf der Bewertung erzeugt. Schließlich wird basierend auf der Audio-Routing-Auswertung für jede der zwei oder mehr Audiosignalquellenvorrichtungen eine Audiosignal-Routing-Entscheidung getroffen, um ein Audiosignal von einer der zwei oder mehr Audiosignalquellenvorrichtungen zu der Audioausgabevorrichtung zu routen.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can transfer a playback queue between the computing device and a playback device. For example, the computing device can detect when the computing device is within a threshold distance of a playback device. The computing device can establish a connection to the playback device and receive state information describing the media playback state of the playback device. The computing device can determine the media playback state of the computing device. The computing device can present graphical user interfaces for initiating a transfer of a playback queue between the computing device and the playback device based on the playback state of the devices. The computing device can initiate a transfer of the playback queue in response to user input to one of the graphical user interfaces or automatically based on the context of the computing device.

    Abstract: The systems described herein provide a remote keyboard service for a media device on a computing device without having to invoke an application or unlock the computing device. The computing device can receive a message indicating that a text input field on the other device is selected and present a notification to the user prompting the user to invoke the virtual keyboard on the computing device to provide text input to the selected text input field. The computing device can receive user input selecting the notification and present a virtual keyboard for providing text input to the other device. The computing device can receive keyboard input from the user selecting characters and send the characters to the other device. The other device can then user the characters as text input to the selected text input field.
