Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for location-tracking wireless devices. In an embodiment, a method performed by an electronic device comprises: playing, or initiating the playing of, a sound through a loudspeaker of an accessory device via a communication link. The sound is played at a specified frequency that utilizes a frequency response of the loudspeaker (or loudspeaker plus speaker enclosure). The sound is received through two or more microphones of the electronic device and filtered by one or more filters. The one or more filters are configured to pass the sound at or around the specified frequency and to reduce masking of the sound by ambient noise. The filtered sound is associated with direction data generated from sensor data provided by one or more inertial sensors of the electronic device. In another embodiment, the specified frequency is higher than the maximum human hearing range.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for recovering user data for a device. To initiate recovery, the method sends to a first server a first request including at least (i) a device identifier and (ii) a first set of cryptographic data for a second set of servers with which the first server communicates. If the first server verifies the device identifier with an attestation authority, the method receives from the second set of servers a second set of cryptographic data generated by the second set of servers. After receiving input of a device passcode for the device, the method sends to the first server a second request comprising at least a third set of cryptographic data for the second set of servers generated based on the device passcode. If the first server verifies the device passcode with the second set of servers, the method receives access to the user data.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for system and methods to crowdsource the location of wireless devices and accessories that lack a connection to a wide area network. One embodiment provides for a data processing system configured to perform operations comprising loading a user interface on an electronic device, the user interface to enable the determination of a location of a wireless accessory that is associated with the electronic device, generating a set of public keys included within a signal broadcast by the wireless accessory, the signal broadcast during a first period, sending the set of public keys to a server with a request to return data that corresponds with a public key in the set of public keys, decrypting the location data using a private key associated with the public key, and processing the location data to determine a probable location for the wireless accessory.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine-readable mediums, and system to provide location services are described. In an embodiment, a method provides receiving, at a delegate server, authentication credentials from a sub-delegate of a delegate entity, determining at least one locator service for a wireless accessory device accessible to the sub-delegate with the received authentication credentials, receiving a request for the at least one locator service from the sub-delegate, evaluating a set of inputs to determine if a set of conditions corresponding to the at least one locator service and the sub-delegate are satisfied, upon determination that the set of conditions are satisfied, sending the request for the at least one locator service to a device locator server, and decrypting a response to the request received from the device locator server using encryption keys stored for the delegate entity.

Abstract: A device locator mode or find my device (FMD) mode can allow a lost, stolen, or misplaced mobile device to be located. The FMD mode can be enabled or disabled on a mobile device. Sometimes thieves or unauthorized parties attempt to disable the FMD mode. To prevent this, the mobile device can transmit a unique device identifier to a remote server. The remote server can link the device identifier to a cloud-based user account associated with the user of the mobile device. Before an FMD mode is disabled on the mobile device, before the content or settings can be erased, and/or before a mobile device is permitted to be activated/reactivated, a user of the mobile device can be challenged for the credentials of the cloud-based user account. If valid credentials are provided, FMD can be disabled, the content or settings can be reset, and/or the device can be activated/reactivated.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for system and methods to enable the secure streaming of real-time location data between electronic devices. One embodiment provides for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to perform operations comprising creating record to specify a location streaming relationship between a first device registered with a first user account and a second device registered with a second online account, the record including a secret key. The record is stored to an online datastore and shared between the first user account and the second online account. The location data stream can be encrypted using the secret key stored in the record.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for managing location sharing requests. In various implementations, a requesting device or a server computer in communication with the requesting device, receives a location sharing request associated with a user and, in response, sends a notification to a companion device associated with the user. A location of the companion device is received from the companion device together with a list of one or more devices associated with the user that are paired with the companion device and a connection status for at least one of the one or more paired devices. The connection status indicates if there is a direct communication link established between the paired device and the companion device. A notification is sent to each disconnected paired device based on the connection status. Each disconnected device that is worn or carried by the user responds with their location.
