Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a method for authentication of a wireless device without making a connection, includes transmitting, by an apparatus, wireless device discovery messages including a nonce for authenticating wireless devices responding to the wireless device discovery messages; receiving, by the apparatus, a wireless response message from another wireless device responding to the wireless device discovery messages, the wireless response message including an authentication test value based on the nonce; and authenticating, by the apparatus, the other wireless device, without establishing a wireless connection to the other wireless device, if the authentication test value is valid.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprising: circuitry configured to classify a signal; and circuitry configured to control saving of the signal to a memory with a conditional resolution, wherein a signal that is classified as anomalous is saved at higher resolution as a higher resolution signal and a signal that is not classified as anomalous is saved at lower resolution as a lower resolution signal or is not saved.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for facilitating efficient device discovery. In regards to a method implemented by a master device, a first identifier is received from a remote source. The method also receives one or more wireless device discovery packets comprising a second identifier from a proximate device, wherein the wireless device discovery packet comprises information compliant with a short-range communication technology to advertise presence of the proximate device or information compliant with a short-range communication technology to scan for proximate devices according to proximity-based communication technology. The method then, causes, in an instance in which at least the portion of the first identifier matches at least the portion of the second identifier, a wireless short-range communication connection procedure to be initiated between the apparatus and the proximate device, wherein the wireless short-range communication connection procedure complies with the proximity-based communication technology.
Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising exchanging connectivity information, setting up a connection, determining that a correspondent node has at least one access in an inactive state, and transmitting a request to the correspondent node to activate at least one of the at least one access in an inactive state. The setting up may be done based on the exchanged connectivity information.
Abstract:
An apparatus, method and computer program wherein the apparatus comprises: processing circuitry; and memory circuitry including computer program code; the memory circuitry and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least to perform; causing a service to be provided using a first user device and an accessory device wherein the accessory device is connected to the first user device via a wireless connection and wherein a plurality of user devices are registered to a user account; obtaining status information from the first user device; and determining a trigger event has occurred and in response to determining that a trigger event has occurred, enabling a second user device to establish a wireless connection to the accessory device wherein the second user device is registered to the user account.
Abstract:
Disclosed in this specification is a method comprising inserting an anti-whitened data portion into a data packet that is to be whitened by whitening to yield a whitened data packet for transmission (44) from a first radio communications apparatus (30) to a second radio communications apparatus (10), the anti-whitened data portion having been determined based on anti-whitening data received (43) from the second radio communications apparatus (10) at the first radio communications apparatus, wherein the anti-whitened data portion is obtainable from a specific data block by anti-whitening, the anti-whitening compensating for the whitening so that the whitened data packet comprises the specific data block in non-whitened form.
Abstract:
There are disclosed various methods and apparatuses for a device setup. In some embodiments of the method a signal from a peripheral device is detected by an apparatus and biometric data is received from the peripheral device. The biometric data is transmitted to a server. An indication whether the server has found biometric identification corresponding to the biometric data or other information indicative of that the apparatus and the peripheral device are attached to a same user is received from the server. If the indication reveals that the server has found biometric identification corresponding to the biometric data or other information indicative of that the apparatus and the peripheral device are attached to a same user configuration data is received from the server and used for configuring at least one of the apparatus and the peripheral device. In some embodiments the apparatus comprises means for implementing the method.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for controlling smart objects with a collage user interface using normalized user interface descriptors. A method is provided for receiving user interface description data from a plurality of utility devices. The user interface description data includes access and control data associated with the respective utility device. The method also includes generating a collaged user interface based on the user interface description data; receiving a signal associated with a first user interface description data associating the first user interface description data with a second user interface description data; and causing the collaged user interface to be displayed on a user equipment user interface.
Abstract:
According to an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core configured to determine a pairing opportunity with a second apparatus and to cause a message to be transmitted to a server, the message comprising a generated number, a receiver configured to receive from the server an indication, and the at least one processing core being further configured to, at least in part based on the indication, cause the apparatus to participate in pairing with the second apparatus.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a method for short service discovery includes establishing a connection, by an apparatus, with a wireless device having a subset of service information available as default service information; transmitting, by the apparatus, a request for additional service information available from the wireless device; receiving, by the apparatus, from the wireless device, additional service information available from the wireless device, if the request is authorized by the wireless device; and receiving, by the apparatus, from the wireless device, a subset of service information available from the wireless device, if the request is not authorized by the wireless device.
