    Abstract: A first wireless communication device (UE device) associated with a certain user (or included in a specified set/group of UE devices) may establish a first communication link with an accessory device according to a short-range radio access technology, and transmit link (pairing) information associated with the first communication link to a server, such as a cloud-based server. The server may share this (first) link information with other UE devices associated with the same user (or belonging to the same specified group of UE devices as the first UE device). Link information associated with the other UE devices (i.e. second link information) may equally be shared with the accessory device, and the other UE devices and accessory device may use the first link information and second link information in establishing respective communication links between any of the other UE devices and the accessory device without having to undergo a pairing procedure.

    Abstract: In order to reduce the power consumption of a receiving electronic device, received advertising beacons may be filtered so that the receiving electronic device selectively transitions from a power-saving mode to a normal operating mode. For example, the receiving electronic device may receive a beacon with advertising information for a transmitting electronic device. If the advertising information is changed relative to a previous version of the advertising information for the transmitting electronic device, the receiving electronic device may transition from the power-saving mode to the normal operating mode. In this way, the receiving electronic device may ‘wake up’ if it receives an advertisement that it wants to act on, such as advertisements for: file sharing, wireless streaming of information, proximity pairing and/or continuity of a user experience with an application when the user transitions from the transmitting electronic device to the receiving electronic device.

    Abstract translation: 为了降低接收电子设备的功耗,可以对接收的广告信标进行滤波,使得接收电子设备选择性地从功率节省模式转换到正常操作模式。 例如,接收电子设备可以接收具有用于发送电子设备的广告信息的信标。 如果广告信息相对于发送电子设备的广告信息的先前版本而改变,则接收电子设备可以从省电模式转换到正常操作模式。 以这种方式,如果接收电子设备接收到其想要作用的广告,则可以“唤醒”,例如广告:文件共享,信息的无线流传输,邻近配对和/或用户体验的连续性 当用户从发射电子设备转移到接收电子设备时的应用。
