Patent number: 10244416Abstract: Techniques for monitoring presence of a remote device at Layer 2 that allow reducing power consumption without compromising the device's availability. A device that pairs with a remote wireless device may establish a Layer 3 connection, such as an IP connection, to the remote device to provide services to a user. The Layer 3 connection may be formed over a Layer 2 connection via an access point or as a peer-to-peer wireless connection between the devices. When the Layer 3 connection is not actively used to access the remote device, the Layer 3 connection and the supporting Layer 2 connection (e.g., WI-FI, WI-FI DIRECT™ or BLUETOOTH®) may be terminated and presence of the remote device may be monitored using a Layer 2 device discovery mechanism. The Layer 2 and Layer 3 connections to the device may be reestablished when use of the remote device is desired.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Arunkumar Navasivasakthivelsamy, Mitesh K. Desai, Dattatraya B. Rajpure, Henrique M. A. Filgueiras, Mukund Sankaranarayan, Abhinav Gupta, Arvind M. Murching, Manoj Kumar Miryala

Patent number: 10039051Abstract: A wireless device that discovers other wireless devices for the formation of a peer-to-peer connection may perform a scan that is limited in duration and power consumption. The scan nonetheless is highly likely to discover a device, if a discoverable device exists. In addition, the scan may be performed in compliance with parameters of a peer-to-protocol such that the scan may be readily implemented in a wireless device, in some embodiments even as a firmware upgrade on a wireless network interface card. Parameters of the scan may be adjusted to increase the likelihood that, if the scan completes without discovering a device, no discoverable device exists. The scan may be used in an overall process in which discovery ends or the scan is selectively repeated following an unsuccessful scan, without entering a find phase.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mahmoud S. Elhaddad, Mitesh K. Desai, Henrique M. A. Filgueiras, Amer A. Hassan, Trideepraj Roychoudhury, Mukund Sakaranarayan

Patent number: 8799459Abstract: Techniques for detecting presence of a remote device at Layer 2 in response to an indication of an attempt to use the device and without maintaining a Layer 3 connection to the device. The techniques allow reducing power consumption without compromising the device's availability. A device that pairs with a remote wireless device may establish a Layer 3 connection to the remote device to provide services to a user. The Layer 3 connection and underlying Layer 2 connection (e.g., WI-FI, WI-FI DIRECT™ or BLUETOOTH®) may be terminated when the Layer 3 connection is not actively used. Once use of the remote device is desired, its presence may be detected using a Layer 2 device discovery mechanism and the Layer 2 and Layer 3 connections to the device may be reestablished. Services provided at Layer 3, such as steaming data, may then be performed over the reestablished Layer 3 connection.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Amer A. Hassan, Mitesh K. Desai, Yatharth Gupta, Dattatraya B. Rajpure, Arunkumar Navasivasakthivelsamy, Jeffrey S C Chang, Mukund Sankaranarayan, Henrique M. A. Filgueiras
