    Abstract: This application relates to techniques that adjust the sleep states of a computing device based on proximity detection and predicted user activity. Proximity detection procedures can be used to determine a proximity between the computing device and a remote computing device coupled to the user. Based on these proximity detection procedures, the computing device can either correspondingly increase or decrease the amount power supplied to the various components during either a low-power sleep state or a high-power sleep state. Additionally, historical user activity data gathered on the computing device can be used to predict when the user will likely use the computing device. Based on the gathered historical user activity, deep sleep signals and light sleep signals can be issued at a time when the computing device is placed within a sleep state which can cause it to enter either a low-power sleep state or a high-power sleep state.

    Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for securely identifying relevant computing devices that are nearby. The technique can be implemented at a first computing device, and include the steps of (1) receiving, from a second computing device, an advertisement packet that includes: (i) a network address that is associated with the second computing device, and (ii) a hash value that is calculated using the network address and an encryption key that is associated with the second computing device, and (2) for each known encryption key in a plurality of known encryption keys that are accessible to the first computing device: (i) calculating a temporary hash value using the network address and the known encryption key, and (ii) in response to identifying that the temporary hash value and the hash value match: carrying out an operation associated with the second computing device.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that endorses a proximity authorization for an authorization requesting device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a proximity authorization request from the authorization requesting device, wherein the authorization requesting device is in proximity with the authorization endorsing device. The device additionally presents a local authorization request to a user of the authorization endorsing device and receives a set of user credentials for the local authorization request. The device further performs a local authorization on the device using at least the set of user credentials. In addition, the device sends a server authorization request to an identity management server, receives an authorization response from the identity management server, and returns the authorization response.

    Abstract: A device in a payment transaction handoff system may include at least one processor configured to receive a request to perform a payment transaction and identify, using a first communication protocol, a respective device identifier of each of a plurality of proximate devices. The at least one processor is configured to select, based at least in part on a payment factor, a default payment device from the plurality of proximate devices. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, via a second communication protocol, a message to perform the payment transaction, the message comprising the device identifier of the default payment device. In one or more implementations, a first device of the plurality of proximate devices may be associated with a first user account and a second device of the plurality of proximate devices may be associated with a second user account, different from the first user account.
