  • Publication number: 20160073347
    Abstract: In embodiments of device proximity detection implemented in hardware, a computing device, such as a mobile phone, appliance device, or other electronic device can be implemented with wireless radio systems for wireless communications, and a wireless radio system receives a wireless signal. A computing device includes a radio controller of the wireless radio system, and the radio controller is implemented to detect an indication associated with the wireless signal, such as a byte pattern in the wireless signal and/or a signal strength of the signal. The radio controller can then determine that the indication of the wireless signal identifies the wireless signal as pertinent to an application executing on the computing device, and communicate an event notice to a signal manager that the wireless signal has been identified. The radio controller communicates event notices via a hardware interface that is implemented to interface the radio controller with the signal manager.

  • Patent number: 8380130
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to systems and methods that facilitate wireless device communications and configuration. A detection component identifies N devices that are coupled together via a biological medium, N being an integer, wherein the medium includes direct or indirect touching to a device or devices. After biological contact, a configuration component initiates a configuration between a subset of the devices.

  • Patent number: 8036595
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods that facilitate wireless device communications and configuration. A detection component identifies N devices that are coupled together via a biological medium, N being an integer, wherein the medium includes direct or indirect touching to a device or devices. After biological contact, a configuration component initiates a configuration between a subset of the devices. Although configurations and/or other communications can be conducted through a medium such as the human body, the present invention can employ an initial touch to identify respective devices whereby other electronic configuration sequences commence without further device contact. Other aspects include chain touching between users and/or devices to facilitate contact between the devices.

  • Publication number: 20080240324
    Abstract: Technologies for scheduling the dispatch of multi-channel isochronous constant-rate data, such as real-time and/or streaming audio data, video data, or the like. The technologies include systems and methods that provide for the independent dispatch of such data from each of multiple channels such that data delays in one channel have no adverse affect on the dispatch of data from another channel.
