Patent number: 10567445Abstract: Systems and methods for joining a device to a fabric using an assisting device include an indication to add a joining device to a fabric. If the joining device supports network-assisted fabric pairing, a first connection is established between a commissioning device and the assisting device. The assisting device also connects to a joining device. Through the assisting device, the commissioning device and the joining device establish a communication channel over which fabric credentials may be sent.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jay D. Logue, Andrew William Stebbins, Roger Loren Tinkoff

Patent number: 10499238Abstract: Methods and devices may be used to remotely hushing alarms by receiving an indication of an alarm event occurring at a remote device and presenting a visual indicator of the alarm event including a hush option to alter an audible and/or visual alarm notification of the remote device. A user selection of the hush option is received. In response to receiving the user selection of the hush option, communicating, from the electronic device to the remote device via a point-to-point low power wireless connection between the electronic device and the remote device, a hush request requests that the remote device alter its audible and/or visual alarm notification and causes an adjustment of the visual indicator to reflect a status of the hush request.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Smriti Narang, Prashanth Ramachandran, Liang-Yun Wang, Andrew William Stebbins, Jay D.

Patent number: 9967728Abstract: Methods and systems for joining a wireless connection advertisement. The joining device connects to a commissioning device through a first wireless connection protocol. The first wireless connection protocol comprises a relatively low power connection. The commissioning device is configured to manage access to a fabric. The joining device also receives credentials, via the first wireless connection protocol, for connecting to a first wireless network having a second wireless connection protocol. Furthermore, the joining device attempts to join the first wireless network using the received network credentials.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jay D.

Patent number: 9924342Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating messages with another electronic device via a characteristic-based communication. Communicating includes establishing a connection with the other electronic device over a low power wireless radio using a characteristic-based communication protocol and submitting a connection request message to the other device by writing a value to a first characteristic associated with the characteristic-based communication protocol. Communicating also includes subscribing to messages from the other electronic device by writing a value to a second characteristic associated with the characteristic-based communication protocol and communicating with the other electronic device by using the first characteristic to send messages to the remote device and the second characteristic to receive messages from the other electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jay D.
