摘要:
A method comprises a first device: receiving at least one Bluetooth Low Energy message transmitted from each of at least three second devices, each Bluetooth Low Energy message including data indicating a position of the respective second device (S2); measuring a radio parameter for each of the received Bluetooth Low Energy messages (S3); using the radio parameters and the data included in the messages to calculate the position of the first device (S4); and transmitting a Bluetooth Low Energy message including data indicating the position of the first device (S5). A further method comprises a third device: receiving at least one Bluetooth Low Energy message transmitted from each of at least three devices, each Bluetooth Low Energy message including data indicating a position of the respective device; measuring a radio parameter for each of the received Bluetooth Low Energy messages; using the radio parameters and the data included in the messages to calculate the position of the third device; receiving at least one Bluetooth Low Energy message transmitted by a first device and including data indicating a position of the first device; and causing display of the position of the first device relative to the third device.
摘要:
A second device (12) comprises: a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal to a first device (11); a receiver configured to receive a second signal that has been transmitted by the first device (11); a demodulator configured to demodulate a second message from the second signal, the second message including an indication of signal strength of the first signal as measured by the first device (11); a signal strength measuring module configured to measure signal strength of the received second signal; and a calculator configured to use the indication of the measured signal strength included in the second message and the signal strength of the second signal as measured by the second device (12) to calculate a measure of the distance between the first and second devices (11, 12).
摘要:
Apparatus has at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon which when executed controls the at least one processor: to extract telephone number data from a received advertisement packet data unit [PDU]; to compare the telephone number data with telephone numbers present in a contacts database; and in the event of the comparison providing a match, to cause presentation of information from the contacts database relating to a contact with which a match was found.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for enabling non-persistent communications between devices. A device can receive a first broadcast from a broadcasting device, the first broadcast advertising information identifying the broadcasting device. Security information associated with the broadcasting device is then be obtained based on the received broadcast and the broadcasting device authenticated based on the security information. A second broadcast is received from the broadcasting device wherefrom it can be determined that the broadcasting device is an associated device capable of non-connected communications between the devices. At least one data packet is communicated between the devices subsequent to the second broadcast without establishing a persistent connection between the devices.
摘要:
This specification describes a method comprising responding to receipt of a first Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertising message, the first BLE advertising message comprising advertising data and an address of a source device from which the advertising data derived, by forming and causing transmission of a second BLE advertising message including the advertising data and the address of the source device. This specification also describes apparatuses and computer program code for causing performance of the method. The specification also describes other methods, apparatuses and computer program code relating to the above method.
摘要:
A method comprises determining, based on at least one radio frequency packet passed wirelessly between first and second devices using an array of plural antennas provided in one of the first and second devices, an orientation of the second device with respect to the first device and, if the orientation satisfies a predetermined criterion, controlling operation of the first device.
摘要:
A method is described, the method comprising scanning for a Bluetooth Low Energy data signal, and if a Bluetooth Low Energy data signal is detected, responding to detection of the Bluetooth Low Energy data signal by suspending the performance of wireless network discovery procedures in respect of at least one network operating using a protocol other than Bluetooth Low Energy. Also described is a method comprising causing generation and transmission of a Bluetooth Low Energy data signal, the generated and transmitted Bluetooth Low Energy data signal indicating the absence of at least one network which operates using a protocol other than Bluetooth Low Energy. Also described are apparatus, computer-readable code, and non-transitory computer-readable memory media having computer readable code stored thereon for causing performance of one or both of the methods.
摘要:
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, enable the apparatus at least to generate a Bluetooth™ Low Energy data packet comprising audio payload data.
