Abstract: A housing has a bud portion abutting an elongated stem portion. The bud portion is to fit within an ear. The bud portion has a primary sound outlet at its far end that is to be inserted into an outer ear canal, and abuts the stem portion at its near end. A speaker driver is inside the bud portion. Electronic circuitry inside the housing includes a wireless communications interface to receive audio content over-the-air and in response provides an audio signal to the speaker driver. A rechargeable battery as a power source for the electronic circuitry is located inside a cavity of the stem portion. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for automatically configuring and controlling a digital media device are described. A digital media device can be configured or controlled by a mobile device, e.g., a smart mobile phone. When the digital media device is being configured, the digital media device can broadcast a signal, indicating that the digital media device is requesting configuration information from a mobile device. A mobile device located in proximity of the digital media device, upon detecting the signal, can perform various security checks to determine that the request is legitimate, and then open a communication channel with the digital media device. The mobile device can provide user preferences of the mobile device, as well as credentials for accessing and downloading remote content, to the digital media device through the communication channel. Upon receiving the configuration information, the digital media device can use parameters in the configuration information as its settings.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication devices to discover each other and share information are described. Wireless communication devices transmit and receive messages to identify compatible wireless communication devices. The messages include indicators for a communication service and one or more user identification values. A scanning wireless communication device identifies a message from a broadcasting wireless communication device that satisfies a set of matching filter criteria and extracts user identification values from the message. The scanning wireless communication device compares the extracted user identification values to a local set of user identification values. When an extracted user identification value from the message matches a user identification value in the local set of user identification values, the scanning wireless communication device establishes a connection to the broadcasting wireless communication device according to the communication service indicated in the message.

Abstract: A first device and a second device, having established a communications link with each other, can manage intra-device communication and inter-device communication using hardware and/or software state information (e.g. on/off) of the devices. The first device can record a change in state of a first processor of the first device. The first device can use the stored state information to determine whether to perform operations that involve processing by the first processor, e.g., delivering a message from the second device to the first processor. The first device can also send the change in the state of the first processor to the second device. The second device can record the change in the state of the first processor. The second device can use the stored state information to determine whether to perform operations that involve processing by the first processor, e.g., sending a message over the communications link.

Abstract: An electronic device is described. During operation, this electronic device activates a communication channel having a carrier frequency in a radio in an interface circuit to listen for an advertising frame of interest from another electronic device during a scan window having a predefined duration. If the advertising frame of interest is received from the other electronic device, the electronic device terminates the listening before the predefined duration has expired and, using the communication channel in the radio, transmits the connect request to the other electronic device to establish the connection with the other electronic device. In this way, the delay between discovery of the other electronic device and establishing the connection is reduced. In addition, the power consumed by the electronic device while scanning for the other electronic device and initiating the connection is reduced.

Abstract: A proximity fence can be a location-agnostic fence defined by signal sources having no geographic location information. The proximity fence can correspond to a group of signal sources instead of a point location fixed to latitude and longitude coordinates. A signal source can be a radio frequency (RF) transmitter broadcasting a beacon signal. The beacon signal can include a payload that includes an identifier indicating a category to which the signal source belongs, and one or more labels indicating one or more subcategories to which the signal source belongs. The proximity fence defined by the group of signal sources can trigger different functions of application programs associated with the proximity fence on a mobile device, when the mobile device moves within the proximity fence and enters and exits different parts of the proximity fence corresponding to the different subcategories.
