  • Efficient automatic sharing of network access among devices
    Patent number: 9392067
    Abstract: An access point device is configured to improve usability of tethering, while improving battery life and managing data usage among and by the tethered devices. Both access point devices and client devices can remain in a low power state without a high power radio being powered until a shared network connection is to be used. To establish a connection to a network for the client device, the client device communicates with the access point device over a lower power communication device, such as a low power radio. The access point device activates its higher power radio. The two devices then connect over the high power radio, allowing the client device to then to use the access point device as a router to connect to a computer network.
