Patent number: 10039051Abstract: A wireless device that discovers other wireless devices for the formation of a peer-to-peer connection may perform a scan that is limited in duration and power consumption. The scan nonetheless is highly likely to discover a device, if a discoverable device exists. In addition, the scan may be performed in compliance with parameters of a peer-to-protocol such that the scan may be readily implemented in a wireless device, in some embodiments even as a firmware upgrade on a wireless network interface card. Parameters of the scan may be adjusted to increase the likelihood that, if the scan completes without discovering a device, no discoverable device exists. The scan may be used in an overall process in which discovery ends or the scan is selectively repeated following an unsuccessful scan, without entering a find phase.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mahmoud S. Elhaddad, Mitesh K. Desai, Henrique M. A. Filgueiras, Amer A. Hassan, Trideepraj Roychoudhury, Mukund Sakaranarayan

Patent number: 9565708Abstract: A wireless device that automatically forms a connection to a remote device in accordance with a peer-to-peer protocol. The remote device may be designated as an auto-connect device for the wireless device such that, when the wireless device determines that it is in the vicinity of the auto-connect device, it can re-form a connection to the remote device based on stored information for re-establishing connections among a persistent group of devices, but without any express user input. When a user requests that the wireless device perform a function that involves interaction with an auto-connect device, that function may be performed with the delay associated with forming a connection. Any of multiple techniques may be employed for identifying devices designated as auto-connect devices and for determining when the wireless device and a remote, auto-connect devices are in close proximity.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2011Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amer A. Hassan, Mitesh K. Desai, Mahmoud S. Elhaddad, Trideepraj Roychoudhury

Publication number: 20120233266Abstract: A computing device that selectively renegotiates roles of devices in an existing peer-to-peer group. As the group is formed, the device may negotiate with other devices to select a device to control the group. During operation of the group, a device in the group may initiate a renegotiation that may lead to the selection of an alternative device to control the group. Renegotiation may be triggered by a message containing an information element signifying a request for renegotiation. Such a message may be sent either by the controlling device or other device in the group, and may be sent based on a state of the device. The state may relate to a source of power to the device such that a client that is connected to a source of power or a controlling device that is running low on battery power may request a renegotiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2011Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Amer A.
