Abstract: An electronic device can receive battery charge level information from two different devices and select, between the different devices, which information to use to generate and present battery information on a display of the electronic device. When two separate devices are transmitted by a case and an earbud (or earbuds), the electronic device can receive and select from one of two source based upon the state of the case and the state of the earbud(s). Alternatively, based upon the state of the case and the earbud(s), the electronic device can merge the information received from the case and the earbuds, while also determining from the merged information which respective device transmitted the respective information. Further, the case can provide battery information on behalf of the earbuds when the earbuds are in the case, and the respective radio circuits are shut down. Alternatively, the earbuds can provide battery information on behalf the case.

Abstract: An electronic device that includes an interface circuit that communicates using a Bluetooth classic communication protocol is described, where the interface circuit supports multiple independent virtual Bluetooth classic MAC addresses associated with different users or different user profiles. During operation, the interface circuit may communicate a message with a second electronic device, where the message is compatible with the Bluetooth classic communication protocol and includes a virtual Bluetooth classic MAC address associated with a user or a user profile. Moreover, when the user or the user profile signs out of the electronic device and a second user or a second user profile signs into the electronic device, the interface circuit may communicate a subsequent message using a second (different) virtual Bluetooth classic MAC address associated with the second user or the second user profile.
