    摘要: An accessory strobe device for a mobile device may operate to provide illumination at the same time as an internal built-in strobe (flash) of the mobile device. The accessory strobe device may receive a single, unidirectional signal from the mobile device that provides signals related to the timing of the internal strobe. The accessory strobe device may process the received signal to control its illumination using the timing and relative intensity levels of the internal strobe during metering and main (normal) flash operations associated with a camera on the mobile device. With the accessory strobe device operating using timing and relative intensity levels in a predetermined relationship with the timing and relative intensity levels of the internal strobe, the accessory strobe device may be used to complement the internal strobe during the metering and main (normal) flash operations for the camera.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed relating to securely authenticating communicating devices. In various embodiments, a computing device receives, via a network connection with a network, a first certificate for a first public key pair of the computing device. The computing device provides the first certificate to an offline accessory device and receives a second certificate for a second public key pair maintained by the offline accessory device. The computing device performs a verification of the second certificate and, responsive to the verification being successful, interacts with the offline accessory device. In some embodiments, prior to providing the first certificate, the computing device determines an ordering in which the first and second certificates are to be exchanged by the first computing device and the offline accessory device, and the first certificate is provided to the offline accessory device in accordance with the determined ordering.

    摘要: Broadly speaking, the embodiments disclosed herein describe replacing a current hearing aid profile stored in a hearing aid. In one embodiment, the hearing aid profile is updated by sending a hearing aid profile update request to a hearing aid profile service, receiving the updated hearing aid profile from the hearing aid profile service, and replacing the current hearing aid profile in the hearing aid with the updated hearing aid profile.

    摘要: A message-based identification process can facilitate reliable interoperation between accessories and host devices. During an identification process, the devices can negotiate an operating agreement that specifies particular communications (e.g., messages) that each device is permitted to send to or receive from the other, for example by having one device send a list of specific messages that it intends to send to and/or receive from the other. The other device can review the proposal and either accept or reject it. If a proposal is accepted, the devices can begin interoperating using messages that were included in the agreed-upon proposal while ignoring any received messages that were not included in the agreed-upon proposal.
