Abstract: A mobile device may determine a set of range values between the first mobile device and the second mobile device based on a difference between the first time and the second time for ranging wireless signals. The mobile device can determine first odometry information using a first sensor on the first mobile device, the first odometry information indicating a first motion of the first mobile device during a time period. The mobile device can receive, via a data channel, second odometry information determined from second measurements captured using a second sensor on the second mobile device. The mobile device can solve an angle between a first reference frame for the first device and a second reference frame for the second device using the set of range values, and the first and second odometry information to display a directional arrow pointing to a current position of the second mobile device.

Abstract: In some aspects a first electronic device may detect a triggering condition for enabling control of a second electronic device. Upon detection of the triggering condition, the method can include determining an increased rate of transmission of advertising signals of a wireless protocol transmitted from a wireless transceiver of the first electronic device. The method can include transmitting a plurality of advertising wireless signals at the increased rate using the wireless protocol. The method can include receiving, from the second electronic device, one or more responses to the advertising wireless signals. The method can include determining a distance measurement based on the one or more responses. Responsive to the distance measurement being less than a threshold value, the method can include enabling control of one or more components of the first electronic device or the second electronic device by the other device. Numerous other aspects are described.
