摘要:
Apparatus for enabling the connection of an electronic device to a particular peripheral device, wherein the apparatus is configured to determine a first measure of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device using geographical location signalling; associate the determined first measure of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device with a communication channel signalling used by the particular peripheral device; discriminate the communication channel signalling for the particular peripheral device based on the association; and enable selection of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device to use the communication channel signalling to provide for connection of the electronic device to the particular peripheral device to allow the electronic device to use the functionality provided by the particular peripheral device.
摘要:
A system for facilitating short-range wireless data exchanges between apparatuses that are not linked by a wireless network connection. For example, an apparatus may initially determine if data suitable for transmission without first establishing a formal network connection is pending. For example, in terms of Bluetooth the data may suitable for transmission to another apparatus without having to first negotiate a Bluetooth piconet including both apparatuses. If it determined that data is pending for transmission, the apparatus may scan for apparatus detection packets transmitted from other apparatuses (e.g., enter an inquiry scanning mode). Upon reception of an apparatus detection packet, the apparatus may transmit one or more messages via wireless communication (e.g., execute an extended inquiry response procedure) comprising at least the data.
摘要:
A system for automating connection management in a manner that may be transparent to any actively communicating applications operating in a Network on Terminal Architecture (NoTA). An application level entity may access another node by making a request to a high level communication structure via an interface. The high level structure may interact with a lower level structure configured to manage communication by establishing communication with another device via one or more transports. In at least one embodiment, provisions may be made to guard against data being lost when a transport fails, including storing data that is passed from a transport-independent buffer to a transport-specific buffer in case the transport fails. When a failure occurs, the stored data may readily be forwarded for sending using another transport.
摘要:
A wireless device transmits beacon packets at periodically occurring time intervals across a wireless channel. When the wireless communications device has not formed a piconet with one or more remote devices, the device scans the wireless channel for a predetermined amount of time immediately following each of the periodically occurring time intervals. During this time a remote device may respond to the beacon packet.
摘要:
A wireless communications device includes a first receiver and a second receiver. The first receiver is configured to receive a first wireless signal (such as a Bluetooth or WLAN signal), while the second receiver is configured to receive a second wireless signal (such as a UWB signal). In addition, the second receiver is configured to determine spectral characteristics of the first wireless signal. Based on these determined spectral characteristics, an interference detection module may identify interference in the first wireless signal.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating inter-slave device communications in a radio communication system, such as a Bluetooth-compatible communication system. Channel allocations to permit the effectuation of the communications between the slave devices are controlled by a master device. Indications of the channel allocations are provided by the master device to the slave devices, and thereafter, a radio link is formed directly between the slave devices and communications therebetween are effectuated.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product example embodiments enable devices to disconnect a communication connection. In an example embodiment, a method includes measuring, by an apparatus, a power level of one or more wireless communication messages received from a selected wireless device over a wireless communication connection, after an interval following an establishment of the wireless communication connection; and disconnecting, by the apparatus, the wireless communication connection with the selected wireless device, if the one or more wireless communication messages received over the wireless communication connection, has a measured power level greater than a threshold value.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for reducing the time required for connection setup including, but not limited to, the time required for connection setup for devices discovered utilizing a low energy technology. In the context of a method performed by a slave device to be discovered, an advertisement may be generated including an indication of a capability to perform a predefined type of connection setup for initiating wireless communications. The method also causes the advertisement to be transmitted and receives a response to the advertisement from another device including one or more parameters relating to the predefined type of connection setup. The method also supports the connection setup with the another device in accordance with the one or more parameters. Corresponding apparatus and computer program products as employed by both master and slave devices are also provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for processing information in an apparatus having one or more interfaces to one or more peripheral components, said method comprising obtaining information about resources of the one or more peripheral components from at least one peripheral component, forming a policy basing at least partly on the information about the resources of the at least one peripheral component, forming a cost function basing at least partly on the information about the resources of the at least one peripheral component, determining an entry combination of the resources forming the cost function such that the entry combination is at least in part compliant with the policy and changing configuration of the apparatus to at least partly comply with the determined entry combination.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for providing adaptive user notifications. A method may include detecting an event. The method may further include determining usage of one or more connected apparatuses. The method may also include determining, based on the determined usage, a notification method for notifying of the event. The method may additionally include generating an event notification message based on the determined notification method. The method may further include causing the event notification message to be sent to a connected apparatus to trigger the connected apparatus to provide an alert indicative of the event in accordance with the determined notification method. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.
