    Abstract: A system and method for routing communication to a common audio output device connected to each of two or more audio signal source devices. For each of the two or more audio signal source devices, a set of inputs are assessed. The set of inputs include: an operational state of the audio signal source device, an activity the audio signal source device, an audio-producing application being executed by the audio signal source device, and a degree of user activity with the audio-producing application being executed by the audio signal source. At a point in time, an audio routing score is generated for each of the two or more audio signal source devices according to a weighted calculation of the set of inputs based on the assessing. Finally, an audio signal routing decision is made, to route an audio signal from one of the two or more audio signal source devices to the audio output device, based on the audio routing score for each of the two or more audio signal source devices.

    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。
