  • Data communication with low-energy devices
    Patent number: 9826339
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a first tracked device and a second tracked device. The first tracked device includes first known device data, describing one or more previous connections known to the first tracked device. The second tracked device includes second known device data, describing one or more previous connections known to the second tracked device. The first tracked device is configured to connect to the second tracked device, transfer to the second tracked device at least a portion of the first known device data, and receive from the second tracked device at least a portion of the second known device data. The first tracked device is further configured to modify the first known device data to incorporate the second known device data. The second known device data includes data related to a previous connection involving a third tracked device outside a signal range of the first tracked device.
