Patent number: 11856456Abstract: A wireless device includes first and second transceivers for wireless communication and is operable to switch between first and second states, with the second state at least partly prohibiting communication by the first transceiver. The wireless device is configured to perform a control method which involves sharing of state data among wireless devices. According to the method, the wireless device receives, by the second transceiver, a state indicator and confidence data from one or more other wireless devices. The state indicator indicates a current state of the respective other wireless device, and the confidence data is indicative of a confidence of the current state. The control method sets the wireless device in the first or second state based on the state indicator and the confidence data.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Thomas Fänge, Mattias Falk, Magnus Tillgren, Henrik Sundström
