Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to Wi-Fi based wireless docking Wi-Fi based wireless docking. A device may coordinate with one or more docking stations on a Wi-Fi network to determine a first docking channel to be used for wireless docking of a first station device. The device may adjust a transmit (TX) power of a beacon frame during a discovery mode associated with the wireless docking. The device may determine a discovery channel configured to be different from the first docking channel used for the wireless docking. The device may identify a request from a first station device requesting wireless docking, wherein the request is received on the discovery channel. The device may initiate a wireless docking session with the first station device using the first docking channel.
Abstract:
A method of performing a transaction between a plurality of devices, the method comprises establishing a communication session between an end device and a first near field communication (NFC)-enabled device. The method further includes receiving instructions from the end device instructing the first NFC-enabled device to move in NFC range of a second NFC device; establishing a NFC session between the first NFC-enabled device and second NFC-enabled device; and sending the transaction data received from the end device to the second NFC device over the NFC session.
Abstract:
The present application discloses device and system embodiments that address mobile device integration considerations for various categories of UV sensors, including cameras, photodiodes, and chemical sensors. The UV sensors may use the functionalities of the existing in-built sensors in conventional mobile devices, and/or integrate additional components specific to UV sensing. By optimally positioning the sensors, UV sensing and other collateral functionalities (e.g., charging a photovoltaic cell integrated with the mobile device) can be realized in parallel.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for offloading services and functionalities from a main host central processing unit (CPU) of a computing device to a dedicated power-efficient offload engine, thereby enabling a longer battery life for the device and an enhanced set of features.
Abstract:
Embodiments of systems and methods for jurisdiction-based adaptive communication are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a wireless device may be configured to store different jurisdiction identifiers, each jurisdiction identifier in association with a stored set of wireless communication operation constraints. In some such embodiments, the wireless device may receive a jurisdiction identifier nominally representative of a jurisdiction in which communication hardware of the wireless device is located, and may validate or invalidate the received jurisdiction identifier. If the received jurisdiction identifier is validated, the wireless device may apply the stored set of wireless communication operation constraints corresponding to the received jurisdiction identifier to adapt the operation of the communication hardware of the wireless device. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
