Abstract
A method for operating a first user equipment (UE) includes establishing an application layer connection with a second UE, wherein the first UE and the second UE are indirectly coupled to each other by a communications network, detecting an occurrence of an event at the first UE, and sending a first notification of the event to the second UE over the application layer connection.
Claims26
A method for exchanging notifications, the method comprising:
- registering, by a first user equipment (UE) while the first UE is out of a range for establishing a direct network connection with a wearable device, the first UE with a remote server in a communication network to connect the first UE to the communication network, with identification information of the first UE, identification information of the wearable device, and association information associating the first UE with the wearable device being provided to the remote server by the first UE during registration with the remote server, wherein the first UE has been associated with the wearable device using the association information, and interacts with the wearable device in response to occurrence of an event on the first UE according to association with the wearable device;
- receiving, by the first UE after the first UE connects to the communication network, an instruction from the remote server to connect the first UE, via the communication network, with the wearable device that is associated with the first UE according to the association information and that has connected to the communication network;
- in response to the instruction, negotiating, by the first UE with the wearable device, a secure session for establishing a communication connection between the first UE and the wearable device via the remote server in the communications network, and establishing, by the first UE, the communication connection with the wearable device;
- detecting, by the first UE after the communication connection is established, an occurrence of a first event at the first UE;
- sending, by the first UE, a first notification of the first event to the wearable device over the communication connection;
- and
- sending, by the first UE, a message to the remote server to unregister the wearable device with the remote server, upon detecting that the communication connection with the wearable device is lost.

A method for exchanging notifications, the method comprising:
- registering, by a wearable device while the wearable device is out of a range for establishing a direct network connection with a first UE, the wearable device with a remote server in a communication network to connect the wearable device with the communication network, the wearable device having been associated with the first UE using association information associating the wearable device and the first UE, and configured to interact with the first UE in response to occurrence of an event on the wearable device according to association with the first UE;
- receiving, by the wearable device from the remote server after the wearable device is connected to the communication network, an instruction to connect the wearable device, via the communication network, with the first UE that has connected to the communication network;
- in response to the instruction, negotiating, by the wearable device with the first UE, a secure session for establishing a communication connection between the wearable device and the first UE via the remote server in the communications network, and establishing, by the wearable device, the communication connection with the first UE via the remote server in the communications network;
- sending, by the wearable device to the first UE over the communication connection, capability information of the wearable device, the capability information allowing the first UE to determine whether to interact with the wearable device in response to occurrence of an event on the first UE;
- receiving, by the wearable device, a first notification of a first event occurring at the first UE over the communication connection;
- and
- operating, by the wearable device, in a manner responsive to the first notification.
4 more elements
A first user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- register the first UE with a remote server in a communication network in order to connect the first UE to the communication network while the first UE is out of a range for establishing a direct network connection with a wearable device and is not connected to the wearable device, the first UE having been associated with the wearable device using association information, and configured to interact with the wearable device in response to occurrence of an event on the first UE according to association with the wearable device, and wherein the first UE provides, to the remote server during registration with the remote server, identification information of the first UE, identification information of the wearable device, and the association information associating the first UE with the wearable device,
- receive, after the first UE is connected to the communication network, an instruction from the remote server to connect the first UE, via the communication network, with the wearable device that is associated with the first UE according to the association information and that has connected to the communication network,
- in response to the instruction, negotiate with the wearable device, a secure session for establishing a communication connection between the first UE and the wearable device via the remote server in the communications network, and establish the communication connection with the wearable device via the remote server in the communications network,
- detect an occurrence of a first event on the first UE after the communication connection is established, and
- a transmitter operatively coupled to the processor, the transmitter configured to send a notification of the first event to the wearable device over the communication connection, and to send a message to the remote server to unregister the wearable device with the remote server, upon the communication connection with the wearable device being lost.
