    Abstract: After detecting an access-intent operation, an electronic device establishes a connection with a second electronic device using a communication protocol. The electronic devices exchange identifiers, and the second electronic device provides information specifying a preferred channel to use with a second communication protocol. Based at least in part on the preferred channel of the second electronic device and on communication contexts of the electronic devices, the electronic device selects a channel and transmits to the second electronic device information specifying the selected channel. The electronic device remotely accesses credential information based on the exchanged identifiers, and using the credential information, the electronic devices establish a secure connection via the selected channel using the second communication protocol. The electronic device determines a distance to the second electronic device using wireless ranging via the secure connection. When the electronic devices are proximate to each other, the electronic device can be unlocked.

    Abstract: A method automatically connects a device to a WiFi network. The method includes determining WiFi networks that are available for a connection thereto. The method includes categorizing each of the WiFi networks as a private WiFi network or a public WiFi network in which the private WiFi network utilizes a first association process while the public WiFi network utilizes a second association process. The method includes executing a first automatic connection process using the first association process until a successful connection is established to one of the private WiFi networks based upon a first prioritized list. The method includes executing a second automatic connection process until a successful connection is established to one of the public WiFi networks based upon a second prioritized list when the first automatic connection process to the private wireless networks is unsuccessful.

    Abstract: A system, method and station used to establish a guest connection to a WiFi network. A first station establishes a first connection to a second station using a first communication mechanism, receives a data block from the second station, the data block including network information based upon a Basic Service Set (BSS) identification (BSSID) corresponding to a access point of a WiFi network to which the second station has connected, authentication information for connecting to the WiFi network and a time field indicating an amount of time the first station is allowed to access the WiFi network using the data block, establishes a second connection to the WiFi network using a second communication mechanism based upon the network information and authentication information of the data block and disconnects the second connection when the amount of time expires.

    Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for automatically detecting and connecting to a Wi-Fi network. In these methods, a wireless device listens for beacons that are sent using a low-power wireless protocol. Once the wireless device detects a first beacon at a first location, the wireless device extracts a first beacon region identifier from the beacon and correlates the first beacon region identifier with a first Wi-Fi network that is located at the first location. Next, the wireless device retrieves a first set of credentials for connecting to the first Wi-Fi network. Once the first set of credentials is retrieved, the wireless device uses the first set of credentials to connect to the first Wi-Fi network.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for coexistence of collocated radios may include a first radio circuit configured to receive, from a collocated second radio circuit, a start indication for cellular activity associated with a radio resource control connection. The first radio circuit may be configured to, responsive to receiving the start indication, stop a wireless transmission capability. The first radio circuit may be configured to receive, from the collocated cellular circuit, an end indication for the cellular activity prior to the radio resource control connection being released. The first radio circuit may be configured to resume the wireless transmission capability in accordance with a reduced power level response to receiving the end indication.
