Abstract:
Systems and methods for joining a device to a fabric using an assisting device include an indication to add a joining device to a fabric. If the joining device supports network-assisted fabric pairing, a first connection is established between a commissioning device and the assisting device. The assisting device also connects to a joining device. Through the assisting device, the commissioning device and the joining device establish a communication channel over which fabric credentials may be sent.
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, methods, and related computer program products for synchronizing distributed states amongst a plurality of entities and authenticating devices to access information and/or services provided by a remote server. Synchronization techniques include client devices and remote servers storing buckets of information. The client device sends a subscription request to the remote serve identifying a bucket of information and, when that bucket changes, the remote server sends the change to the client device. Authentication techniques include client devices including unique default credentials that, when presented to a remote server, provide limited access to the server. The client device may obtain assigned credentials that, when presented to the remote server, provide less limited access to the server.
Abstract:
Methods and devices may be used to remotely hushing an event notification by receiving, from a sensor of the electronic device, an indication that a measured level has surpassed a notification threshold. In response to the indication, generating an advertising packet including an event notification for broadcast over a low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol and communicating the advertising packet including the event notification over the low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for efficient communication through a fabric network of devices in a home environment or similar environment. For example, an electronic device may efficiently control communication to balance power and reliability concerns, may efficiently communicate messages to certain preferred networks by analyzing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet headers that use an Extended Unique Local Address (EULA), may efficiently communicate software updates and status reports throughout a fabric network, and/or may easily and efficiently join a fabric network.
Abstract:
Compact certificate formats that may be used in a fabric or network between devices. The compact format includes a serial number field tagged with a tag of 1, a signature algorithm field tagged with a tag of 2, an issuer field tagged with a tag of 3, an encoded version of a public key tagged with a tag of A, and a signature field tagged with a tag of C. Each field includes the respective tags and corresponding values encoded in a tag-length-value (TLV) format, and each tag value is represented in hexadecimal.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for conveying locale information for an electronic device includes receiving, from a remote device and via a network interface of at least one network interfaces, a request for active or available locales for the electronic device. Conveying the locale information also includes sending, to the remote device and via the network interface, a message in a locale profile format including a list of available locales. The message includes a version field that indicates a version of schema used to transmit the list of available locales, an active local field that indicates a locale currently being used by the electronic device, and an available locales field that indicates which locales are available for use by the electronic device.
Abstract:
In embodiments of mesh network commissioning, a commissioning device of a mesh network can establish a commissioning communication session between the commissioning device and a border router of the mesh network, and also establish a joiner communication session between the joining device and the commissioning device. The commissioning device can then send commissioning information to the joining device, where the commissioning information is usable by the joining device to join the mesh network. The commissioning device receives an indication of a location of a commissioner application from the joining device, utilizes the received indication to retrieve the commissioner application, and executes the commissioner application to provision the joining device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods relating to transmitting data between an internetwork of multiple networks. The transmitted data uses a device address that uses a common addressing scheme regardless of network protocols used to implement the multiple networks. The multiple networks includes networks having multiple network protocols, and the multiple networks extend a connection from a home network to a service using a tunnel.
Abstract:
Systems and methods relating to communication over relatively low power protocols by adding reliability functionality are presented. Sent messages having reliability functionality include an acknowledgment request flag that indicates that the message includes a request to acknowledge the request once received and an application payload that includes data for the message. The acknowledgment request flag causes responding devices to send an acknowledgment message to the sending device indicating that the sent message has been received.
