  • Mesh network commissioning
    Patent number: 9408133
    Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network commissioning, a commissioning device of a mesh network can determine steering data for the mesh network, where the steering data includes an indication of a device identifier associated with a device that is allowed to join the mesh network, and the indication is represented as a set of values in a Bloom filter that represent the device identifier. The commissioning device can then propagate the steering data from the commissioning device for the mesh network to one or more routers in the mesh network. Propagating the steering data enables the routers to transmit the steering data in a beacon message, where the steering data enables the device associated with the device identifier to compare the set of values in the Bloom filter to a second set of values determined at the device to identify that the device is allowed to join the mesh network.

  • FABRIC NETWORK
    Publication number: 20160218955
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to communication within a fabric network are presented. The fabric network includes one or more logical networks that enables devices connected to the fabric to communicate with each other using various profiles known to the devices. A device sending a message may follow a general message format to encode the message so that other devices in the fabric may understand the message regardless of which logical networks the devices are connected to. Within the message format, a payload of data may be included for the receiving device to forward, store, or process the message. The format and the contents of the payload may vary according to a header within the payload that indicates a profile and a message type within the profile. Using the profile and message type, the receiving devices may decode the message to process the message.

  • Mesh network commissioning
    Patent number: 9351232
    Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network commissioning, a border router receives a petition from a commissioning device to become the commissioner for a mesh network, and commission joining devices to join the mesh network. The border router transmits the received petition to a leader device of the mesh network, and receives a response to the petition from the leader device, where the response indicates acceptance or rejection of the petition. In response to receiving the response to the petition from the leader device, the border router transmits an indication of the acceptance or the rejection of the petition to the commissioning device. An acceptance of the petition by the leader device authorizes the commissioning device to be the commissioner for the mesh network and a secure commissioning session is established.

  • MULTI-TIERED AUTHENTICATION METHODS FOR FACILITATING COMMUNICATIONS AMONGST SMART HOME DEVICES AND CLOUD-BASED SERVERS
    Publication number: 20160119354
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, methods, and related computer program products for synchronizing distributed states amongst a plurality of entities and authenticating devices to access information and/or services provided by a remote server. Synchronization techniques include client devices and remote servers storing buckets of information. The client device sends a subscription request to the remote serve identifying a bucket of information and, when that bucket changes, the remote server sends the change to the client device. Authentication techniques include client devices including unique default credentials that, when presented to a remote server, provide limited access to the server. The client device may obtain assigned credentials that, when presented to the remote server, provide less limited access to the server.
