Publication number: 20230397270Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to enable the automatic establishment of a secure audio/video data streaming connection between electronic devices. For example, a first electronic device may enter into a first state of a peer device advertising protocol, and then, based on a determination that the first electronic device meets a first set of device state criteria (e.g., including at least an orientation state criterion), the first electronic device may enter into a second (e.g., enhanced) state of the peer device advertising protocol. In response to detecting a presence of a second electronic device in its proximity, the first electronic device may connect to the second electronic device via a secure peer-to-peer connection protocol and then send one or more images captured by a first image capture device of the first electronic device to the connected second electronic device via the secure wireless peer-to-peer connection protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Christopher M. Garrido, Bradley D. Ford, Gurtej Singh G. Chandok, Justin R. Etzine, Karthick Santhanam, Luciano M. Verger, Padmavathy Bhooma

Publication number: 20230283538Abstract: The embodiments described herein can dynamically adjust timing of network bandwidth estimations by adjusting a target frequency for sending probing sequences to one or more receivers of content. The receivers receive these probing sequences from a transmitter and respond to the transmitter with network bandwidth estimations. In one embodiment, the probing sequences can use the content itself to create the probing sequences. The embodiments can be used in video conferencing applications to control how a transmitter of content can adjust transmissions based upon the network bandwidth estimations. In one embodiment, a policy can be used at a transmitter to begin a video transmission with a high frequency target for sending probing sequences (with, e.g., smaller length probing sequences) and transition to a lower frequency target (with, e.g., longer length probing sequences) when network bandwidth deteriorates and then return to the higher frequency target when the network bandwidth improves.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Hsien-Po Shiang, Ming Jin, Gabriel Nava Marino, Gurtej Singh G.

Patent number: 10117289Abstract: In order to reduce latency associated with an application executed by an electronic device, when the application transitions from a runnable mode to a suspended state, the electronic device may receive a request from the application to maintain a connection, which is used by the application to communicate with another electronic device, while the application is in the suspended state. Then, the electronic device may provide an instruction to an interface circuit in the electronic device to maintain the connection for a time interval while the application is in the suspended state. This time interval may exceed a predefined timeout for the connection and/or a task extension time for the application. Moreover, prior to providing the instruction, the electronic device may confirm one or more system safeguards to prevent abuse and to ensure system performance and battery life is not adversely affected by maintaining the connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2015Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Albert S.

Patent number: 9967793Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for avoiding network connectivity stalls at a mobile computing device. In an idle state, a performance analyzer executing on the mobile computing device is configured to passively analyze high-level network connectivity information to detect any minor issues with the network connectivity being provided by a primary interface (e.g., WiFi). When minor issues are detected, the mobile computing device transitions into an alerted state, where high emphasis is placed on using the WiFi interface and low emphasis is placed on using a secondary interface (e.g., Cellular). In the alerted state, the mobile computing device actively analyzes low-level connectivity information to detect any major issues with the WiFi interface. When major issues are detected, the mobile computing device transitions into a fallback state, where high emphasis is placed on using the Cellular interface and low emphasis is placed on using the WiFi interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2015Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Franco Travostino, Vu H.

Patent number: 9414404Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for selecting a RAT and coalescing application data activities for transmission using the RAT. A plurality of applications may be executed by a UE. During execution, the UE may receive a request to perform communication from each of the plurality of applications. Each request may include a deadline for performing the communication. The UE may further determine a RAT for performing the plurality of communications and schedule the plurality of communications. Scheduling may include combining the plurality of communications to be performed at a scheduled time using the RAT. Accordingly, the plurality of communications may be performed at the scheduled time using the RAT based on said scheduling.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Franco Travostino, Padmavathy Bhooma, Vu H.
