  • Patent number: 11641563
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for system and methods to crowdsource the location of wireless devices and accessories that lack a connection to a wide area network. One embodiment provides for a data processing system configured to perform operations comprising loading a user interface on an electronic device, the user interface to enable the determination of a location of a wireless accessory that is associated with the electronic device, generating a set of public keys included within a signal broadcast by the wireless accessory, the signal broadcast during a first period, sending the set of public keys to a server with a request to return data that corresponds with a public key in the set of public keys, decrypting the location data using a private key associated with the public key, and processing the location data to determine a probable location for the wireless accessory.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7149808
    Abstract: In a network communication system involving a client and a server, communications are separated and forwarded into multiple subsystems for processing independently and concurrently. A protocol offloading system for processing information transmitted between a client and a server is provided. The protocol offloading system includes a first subsystem for processing protocol information and a second subsystem, independent of the first subsystem, for processing the actual data.
