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.

Abstract: An electronic device is described. During operation, this electronic device activates a communication channel having a carrier frequency in a radio in an interface circuit to listen for an advertising frame of interest from another electronic device during a scan window having a predefined duration. If the advertising frame of interest is received from the other electronic device, the electronic device terminates the listening before the predefined duration has expired and, using the communication channel in the radio, transmits the connect request to the other electronic device to establish the connection with the other electronic device. In this way, the delay between discovery of the other electronic device and establishing the connection is reduced. In addition, the power consumed by the electronic device while scanning for the other electronic device and initiating the connection is reduced.

Abstract: Methods for operating portable electronic devices to maintain accurate timing information are provided. In one suitable arrangement, an electronic device may have a real-time clock and a mach-time clock that can be used separately to track the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The offset of the real-time clock and the mach-time clock from UTC can be monitored to determine if there is any oscillator frequency drift, which can be characterized using a linear model. Any variation in drift caused by environment factors such as temperature may also be characterized. In another suitable arrangement, a primary electronic device that is capable of maintaining accurate timing information may transfer that information to a secondary user device. Timing information may be transferred using mach-time values and may then be converted to real-time clock values to ensure that the secondary user device can estimate time accurately even when the device goes to sleep.
Abstract translation: 提供了用于操作便携式电子设备以维持准确的定时信息的方法。 在一个合适的布置中，电子设备可以具有可以单独使用的跟踪协调世界时（UTC）的实时时钟和机时时钟。 可以监视实时时钟的偏移量和来自UTC的机械时钟时钟，以确定是否存在振荡器频率漂移，这可以使用线性模型进行表征。 也可以表征由环境因素如温度引起的漂移的任何变化。 在另一种合适的布置中，能够维持准确定时信息的主电子设备可以将该信息传送到次用户设备。 可以使用机械时间值传送定时信息，然后可以将其转换为实时时钟值，以确保辅助用户设备即使在设备进入睡眠时也可准确估计时间。

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: An electronic device is described. When this electronic device transmits a request packet to another electronic device with a discovery request, the electronic device stores information specifying the discovery request. If a response packet with an answer to the discovery request is received from the other electronic device, the electronic device stores additional information included in the answer. This additional information specifies a position in an information hierarchy in the other electronic device and a data format associated with the position. By partially caching the information and the additional information, the electronic device may significantly reduce the number of request and response messages, and thus the delay, when the electronic device subsequently accesses data in the information hierarchy.

Abstract: Techniques for automatically configuring and controlling a digital media device are described. A digital media device can be configured or controlled by a mobile device, e.g., a smart mobile phone. When the digital media device is being configured, the digital media device can broadcast a signal, indicating that the digital media device is requesting configuration information from a mobile device. A mobile device located in proximity of the digital media device, upon detecting the signal, can perform various security checks to determine that the request is legitimate, and then open a communication channel with the digital media device. The mobile device can provide user preferences of the mobile device, as well as credentials for accessing and downloading remote content, to the digital media device through the communication channel. Upon receiving the configuration information, the digital media device can use parameters in the configuration information as its settings.

Abstract: An electronic device is described. When this electronic device receives a packet containing an address from another electronic device, the electronic device determines if a connection has already been established with the other electronic device using another address. If so, instead of establishing another connection with the other electronic device using the address, the electronic device modifies the packet by replacing the address with the other address so that it appears as if the packet was received via the connection with the other electronic device using the other address. In this way, the electronic device may avoid duplicate connections with the other electronic device, which can occur in communication protocols in which encoded information in advertising frames that specifies an address of the other electronic device is periodically changed.
Abstract translation: 描述电子设备。 当该电子设备从另一电子设备接收到包含地址的分组时，电子设备使用另一个地址确定是否已经与其他电子设备建立了连接。 如果是这样，则不是使用该地址与其他电子设备建立另一个连接，所以电子设备通过用另一个地址替换地址来修改分组，使得它看起来好像通过与其他电子设备的连接接收到分组，使用 另一个地址。 以这种方式，电子设备可以避免与其他电子设备的重复连接，这可能发生在其中指定其他电子设备的地址的广告帧中的编码信息周期性地改变的通信协议中。
