Abstract: Apparatus and methods to communicate audio data from either an active wireless device or a requesting wireless device to one or more audio reproduction devices that are simultaneously communicatively coupled to both the active wireless device and to the requesting wireless device are disclosed. Responsive to a request from the requesting wireless device to transmit audio data to the one or more audio reproduction devices, the active wireless device determines whether to transmit audio data from the requesting wireless device based at least in part on an audio status of the active wireless device and a set of predetermined arbitration criteria that prioritizes among applications and operating system processes that generate the audio data.

Abstract: Techniques for discovering and/or advertising services are described herein. A first bitmask is received from a remote device over a wireless network, the first bitmask having one or more bits that have a predetermined logical value. Each bit represents a particular service provided by the remote device. A logical operation is performed between the first bitmask and a second bitmask locally generated within a local device, where the second bitmask represents a service being searched by the local device. It is determined whether the remote device is potentially capable of providing the service being searched by the local device based on a result of the logical operation.

Abstract translation: 本文描述了用于发现和/或广告服务的技术。 通过无线网络从远程设备接收第一位掩码，第一位掩码具有一个或多个具有预定逻辑值的位。 每个位表示由远程设备提供的特定服务。 在第一位掩码和在本地设备中本地生成的第二位掩码之间执行逻辑操作，其中第二位掩码表示本地设备正在搜索的服务。 基于逻辑操作的结果确定远程设备是否潜在地能够提供本地设备正在搜索的服务。
