Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more processors and a wireless communication circuit. The one or more processors cause the wireless communication circuit to engage in a pairing procedure with at least one other electronic device to establish, during a pairing process, a peer-to-peer wireless communication link with the second electronic device. During pairing, the electronic device determines a minimum signal strength of wireless communication signals required to establish the peer-to-peer wireless communication link. Thereafter, the electronic device communicates at, and/or transmits a device discovery beacon having, a signal strength equal to or less than the minimum signal strength to conserve power.

Abstract: Device testing using radio-frequency identification (RFID) is described herein. The testing uses one or more RFID readers that interrogate an RFID tag on a mobile device and, in response to the interrogation, receive data from the RFID tag. The one or more RFID readers, in response to receipt of the data from the RFID tag, transmit a command to execute a test program on the mobile device. The results of the test program are then provided by the mobile device.

Abstract: A method includes illuminating at least a portion of a display proximate an ambient light sensor of a device, detecting a first light measurement using the ambient light sensor responsive to the illuminating, and generating an asserted value for a proximity state of the device based on the light measurement exceeding a first predetermined threshold. A device includes a display, an ambient light sensor, and a processor coupled to the display and the ambient light sensor to illuminate at least a portion of the display proximate the ambient light sensor, detect a first light measurement using the ambient light sensor with the display illuminated, and generate an asserted value for a proximity state of the device based on the light measurement exceeding a first predetermined threshold.

Abstract: In embodiments of RFID-based power status and battery management, a mobile device includes a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag that includes a memory to maintain context information associated with the mobile device. The mobile device includes a processing system to execute a power manager and to interface with the RFID tag via a communication bus. The power manager can determine a stowed context of the mobile device based on one or more sensors implemented in the mobile device, and communicate a stowed context indication of the stowed context of the mobile device to the RFID tag to be stored in the RFID tag memory. The power manager can also communicate a power-state indicator of a power on state or a power off state of the mobile device to the RFID tag to be stored in the RFID tag memory.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a wireless transceiver operative to establish a wireless connection with a connected device. The connected device may be either a peer-to-peer device or an access point. The mobile device also includes a battery monitor and a processor, operatively coupled to the wireless transceiver and to the battery monitor. The processor is operative to obtain a charge level from the battery monitor, and negotiate with a connected device for a transceiver power output level based on the charge level. The processor is also operative to control the wireless transceiver to reduce the wireless transceiver power output to the negotiated transceiver power output level in response to an acknowledgement message from the connected device.

Abstract: A portable device includes micro-electro-mechanical systems (“MEMS”) wind turbines integrated in the portable device. A gesture detection module receives signals generated by the MEMS wind turbines based on movement of the portable device that causes a wind force to be applied to the MEMS wind turbines. The gesture module then recognizes a gesture based on the signals generated from the wind force and initiates an action of the portable device that corresponds to the gesture (e.g., the device is awakened).

Abstract: In certain embodiments of surface material enhancement with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, one or more RFID pressure assemblies are incorporated into a surface material. An RFID pressure assembly includes a pressure switch and an RFID tag. The RFID tag can be in an inactive state or in an active state. The RFID tag is generally in the inactive state, but the RFID tag is placed in the active state if a person applies pressure to the pressure switch. If the RFID tag is in the inactive state, the RFID tag fails to respond to an interrogation signal transmitted from an RFID reader. If the RFID tag is in the active state, the RFID tag responds to an interrogation signal by reflecting back a responsive signal. The responsive signal sent from the RFID tag may include a positional indicator of the RFID pressure assembly or an appliance control command.

Abstract: A computing device determines whether the device is in a Stowed state (a state in which the device is stowed in a location such as a pocket, purse, bag, etc.) or a Not Stowed state (a state in which the device is not stowed in such a location). This determination is made using multiple different sensors on the device, at least one of which is situated on one side (e.g., the front or top) of the device and at least one of which is situated on the opposite side (e.g., the back or bottom) of the device. Values sensed by these multiple different sensors are used to determine whether the device is in the Stowed state or the Not Stowed state, as well as optionally to generate a confidence value indicating how confident the device is in its determination that it is in the Stowed state.

Abstract: A method includes reading transaction initiation data from an identification tag associated with a selected physical location on a device. Transaction data associated with the selected physical location is communicated using a communication link operated by the device. Transaction completion data is received using the communication link. The transaction completion data is stored on the identification tag.

Abstract: A method includes providing a plurality of identification tags each associated with one of a plurality of physical locations. First identification data is read from a selected one of the plurality of identification tags designated as a home location on a device. Second identification data is read from at least a subset of the plurality of identification tags other than the selected one on the device. Directions to the home location are provided on a display of the device based on the first identification data and the second identification data.
