  • Messaging via low energy wireless transmissions
    Patent number: 11716170
    Abstract: A protocol layer on top of the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system of paired devices to provide transmission that allows arbitrary sizes of data to be sent. To guarantee transmissions, the transmissions may be validated and, if required, resent to replace data that was lost or corrupted. The protocol layer also supports Remote Procedure Calls to allow functions on either of two connected devices to be executed on one device on behalf of the other. A further protocol layer also allows high priority, short messages to temporarily interrupt the transmission of low priority, long messages.

  • MESSAGING VIA LOW ENERGY WIRELESS TRANSMISSIONS
    Publication number: 20220166563
    Abstract: A protocol layer on top of the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system of paired devices (110, 150) to provide transmission that allows arbitrary sizes of data to be sent. To guarantee transmissions, the transmissions may be validated (324) and, if required, resent to replace data that was lost or corrupted. The protocol layer also supports Remote Procedure Calls to allow functions on either of two connected devices (110, 150) to be executed on one device on behalf of the other. A further protocol layer also allows high priority, short messages (510) to temporarily interrupt the transmission of low priority, long messages (520, 530).
