Abstract: An apparatus can include at least one audio device configured to detect sound. The apparatus can further include processing circuitry to determine presence of a relevant sound relevant to a user of the apparatus based on a user preference or an audio device parameter. The processing circuitry can further, responsive to detecting presence of the relevant sound, provide a control command to a user listening device to command the user listening device to provide the relevant sound to a microphone of the user listening device.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for controlling states of a portable device when connected with a wireless display device are described herein. A portable device is configured to initiate establishment of a wireless connection between the portable device and a wireless display device for the portable device to cast output to the wireless display device; receive an indication of a user absent event, the user absent event triggered by human presence sensing circuitry of the wireless display device; determine whether an exception exists; and control a state of the portable device based on whether the exception exists.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of performing a range measurement. For example, a first wireless communication device may include a radio to communicate a discovery frame with a second wireless communication device, the discovery frame including at least one movement indication field to indicate a time of movement of a sender of said discovery frame; and a controller to perform a range measurement procedure with said second wireless communication device.

Abstract: Examples of a communication device and methods for synched distributed advertisement for device-to-device are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method can include transmitting, from a first device of a publishing group, at a group publishing beacon interval (T), a first publishing beacon (PB) including social information of the first device and social information of (N?1) other devices, wherein the group publishing beacon interval (T) represents a preset interval of time between each successive publishing beacon transmission of the publishing group, and wherein the first publishing beacon and the each successive publishing beacon includes a first value representative of the group publishing beacon interval.

Abstract: A repeater, which forwards data packets from a first Ethernet collision domain to a second Ethernet collision domain while filtering packets so as to eliminate unnecessary packets from being transmitted onto Ethernet networks, has a register for each port, where the register holds the address of a workstation from which the port last received a data packet. When a data packet addressed to that port is received by another port, the repeater asserts a signal line informing the other ports that the dat apacket may be ignored by them, and the addressed port receives the data packet for transmission onto the Ethernet collision domain connected thereto.

Abstract: A repeater device for forwarding a data packet from a first Ethernet collision domain to a second Ethernet collision domain has a plurality of ports, each port for connection to an independent Ethernet collision domain, each port has an associated receive buffer and an associated transmit buffer, and there is a means for forwarding a data packet from the receive buffer of a receiving port to the transmit buffer of a transmitting port. A data packet received at the receiving port is then first stored in that port's the receive buffer, is forwarded to the transmit buffer of the transmitting port, and is then transmitted from the transmit buffer by the transmitting port.

Abstract: A simple and inexpensive integrated way for connecting a variety of standard computer devices, including networking integrated circuit devices, to other standard and customized integrated circuit devices, is provided as follows. An integrated circuit device has an interface, the interface is capable of transferring data from a MAC layer to a PHY layer, and also is capable of transferring data from the PHY layer to the MAC layer. There is a pin on the integrated circuit device for setting the interface in a first mode or a second mode, and when the interface is in the first mode the interface is capable of transferring signals between a MAC device and a PHY device, and when the interface is in the second mode the interface is capable of transferring signals between a first MAC device and a second MAC device.

Abstract: A repeater which introduces a minimum of delay in the transfer of a data packet from a source LAN to a destination LAN has an arbiter which grants access to a bus for a port to broadcast a received data packet onto the bus for loading the data packet into a transmit buffer for each outgoing port. The arbiter grants access only after all ports signal that their transmit buffers are ready to load the data packet from the bus. A transmit buffer signals that it is ready to be loaded at the passage of the collision window as it is transmitting a packet previously loaded into the transmit buffer. Accordingly, the transmit buffer is simultaneously transmitting the previously loaded packet and loading the new packet after the arbiter responds to the signal.

Abstract: Automatic detection by a port of the type of device connected by a cable to the port is accomplished by transmitting a control packet by the device, where the control packet has a nonstandard format. The port examines received packets for the nonstandard format. Upon detection of a packet having the nonstandard format, the port recognizes that the source device of the packet is of a predetermined type which transmits control packets of the nonstandard format. Further, by choosing the nonstandard format so that typical forwarding devices will not forward the nonstandard packet, the port is assured that the source device is attached to the port by a cable. That is, by choosing a nonstandard packet which is not forwarded by a bridge or router, the port is assured that the packet has not been forwarded from a remote part of the network.
