  • Patent number: 10764898
    Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes establishing a first wireless communication channel between a first device and a second device. The method also includes accessing, by an application executing on the first device, a transmitter of a first device to transmit to a second device one or more signals configured to cause an occurrence of an event on the second device. The one or more signals are transmitted over a second wireless communication channel between the first device and the second device. The method further includes receiving, from the second device over the first wireless communication channel, information representing a media access control (MAC) address of the first device, and storing, on a storage device accessible by the first device, a representation of the MAC address of the first device. The MAC address is associated with the second wireless communication channel.

  • Patent number: 10743165
    Abstract: A method is provided for automatically pairing a user device to an audio output device. A user device generates an identifier and transmits an audio version of the identifier over a Bluetooth profile capable of transmitting audio to an audio output device. The audio output device generates a data version of the received identifier and transmits the data version of the identifier of a different link. The application running on the user device receives the data version of the identifier and automatically pairs with the audio output device.

  • Patent number: 10157037
    Abstract: An on/off head detection system uses magnetic field intensity to determine a configuration, position, and/or orientation of a headphone. In some implementations, the system may determine whether a headphone is on or off a user's head. The system includes a magnetic field sensor configured to detect a magnetic field emitted by a magnetic field source associated with an earpiece of the headphone. A control module determines an intensity of the magnetic field and whether the intensity of the magnetic field satisfies a threshold. An operational mode associated with the headphone or an associated device is performed in response to the intensity of the magnetic field satisfying the threshold.
