    Abstract: A device implementing dynamic controller selection may include a processor configured to generate a connectivity graph based on a scan for accessory devices, the connectivity graph including a connectivity metric value for a discovered accessory device. The processor may be configured to broadcast the connectivity graph and receive another connectivity graph broadcasted by another electronic device that includes another connectivity metric value for the accessory device. The processor may be configured to receive a request to provide an instruction to the accessory device and determine which of the electronic devices will provide the instruction based on the connectivity metric values. The processor may be further configured to, when the electronic device is determined, provide the instruction for transmission to the accessory device, and when the other electronic device is determined, provide, for transmission to the other electronic device, the instruction to be provided to the accessory device.

    Abstract: In order to reduce latency and overhead during the device discovery process, operations involved in pairing of two electronic devices may be predefined. In particular, when a user specifies a new electronic device in a list of their electronic devices, a computer provides a notification to these electronic devices. In response to the notification, a given one of the electronic devices generates encryption information and identification information for the given electronic device, and provides this encryption information and identification information to the new electronic device via a network (such as the Internet). Then, the new electronic device generates encryption information and identification information for the new electronic device, and provides this encryption information and identification information to the given electronic device via the network. This pairing information may subsequently facilitate secure wireless communication between the two electronic devices.

    Abstract translation: 为了在设备发现过程期间减少延迟和开销,可以预定义与两个电子设备配对有关的操作。 特别地,当用户在其电子设备的列表中指定新的电子设备时,计算机向这些电子设备提供通知。 响应于该通知,给定的一个电子设备产生用于给定电子设备的加密信息和识别信息,并且经由网络(例如因特网)将该加密信息和识别信息提供给新的电子设备。 然后,新的电子设备生成用于新电子设备的加密信息和识别信息,并且经由网络将该加密信息和识别信息提供给给定的电子设备。 这种配对信息可以随后促进两个电子设备之间的安全无线通信。
