  • Patent number: 10911922
    Abstract: A host device, such as a laptop or desktop computer, that supports wireless point-to-point connections with peripheral devices, such as a pair of headphones, mouse, etc., is configured with quick pair with which the host device can automatically surface a toast on the UI for the user to pair the host and peripheral devices when the peripheral device is within range. For example, a pattern within an advertisement payload can be transmitted, or beaconed, by the peripheral device to the host device, where the host device then identifies, based on the pattern, that the peripheral device is quick pair enabled. When the peripheral device is within range, the host device then automatically surfaces a toast for the user to pair the two devices, and moves the toast to a notification center in case the user wishes to pair the device at a later time.
