    Abstract: Accessory devices are described herein. An accessory device may include a receptacle for receiving an electronic device. The accessory device may include a case that covers the housing of the electronic device, or a folio that additionally includes a cover can conceal the display of the electronic device. Accessory devices described herein further include wireless circuitry used to communicate with wireless circuitry in the electronic device. The wireless circuitry can be used for various functions and features. For instance, the wireless circuitry in the accessory device can respond to authentication requests from the electronic device, and/or to send authentication requests to the electronic device. Further, the wireless circuitry in the accessory device can send information to the electronic device. Such information may include properties of the accessory device, or information stored on the accessory device that is presented on a display of the electronic device.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for NFC communication with a second device includes an antenna and a processor configured to transmit a pulse signal for detection of another device within proximity of the device, and to detect, in conjunction with transmission of the pulse signal, that a first value of a measurement parameter of the antenna satisfies an initial detection factor. The processor is further configured, in response to the detection, to set a confirmation detection factor for the measurement parameter of the antenna based at least in part on the first value of the measurement parameter of the antenna, to transmit a confirmation pulse signal, and to initiate a second polling for reception of data from the other device when a second value of the measurement parameter of the antenna detected in conjunction with transmission of the confirmation pulse signal satisfies the confirmation detection factor.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for NFC communication includes a processor configured to receive, from an other device, pulse signals for detecting proximity of the device with the other device. The processor is further configured to determine an interval at which the pulse signals are received from the other device. The processor is further configured to determine a time when the other device is expected to transmit a subsequent pulse signal based at least in part on the determined interval. The processor is further configured to transmit a signal to the other device based on the determined time when the other device is expected to transmit the subsequent pulse signal.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for managing the Ultra Wideband (UWB) systems, especially when the UWB system is collocated with another wireless system (e.g., WiFi) to transmit and/or receive UWB signals with an occupied bandwidth (OBW) that satisfies a UWB OBW standard (e.g., a UWB OBW>=500 MHz.) In some embodiments a TailBit signal (e.g., a periodic signal at a selected frequency) is added to a UWB packet to generate frequency components at the selected frequency that enables the power spectrum of the TailBit UWB signal to satisfy the UWB OBW standard. In some embodiments an altered code sequence is used to generate an altered spread signal, where the altered code sequence reduces or removes a frequency component peak near DC frequency of the power spectrum of an altered UWB signal, resulting in altered UWB OBW that satisfies the UWB OBW standard.
