Wireless connection to peripheral device based on advertisement cadence

A device comprising:

• a memory configured to store an operating system and an application for execution on the operating system;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to execute the operating system and the application, wherein the application is configured to:
• receive an object handle for establishing a wireless connection to a peripheral device of a plurality of peripheral devices, wherein the operating system creates the object handle to identify the peripheral device from other peripheral devices of the plurality of peripheral devices;
• determine, based on the object handle, an advertisement cadence for the peripheral device, wherein the advertisement cadence comprises periods of time wherein the peripheral device is discoverable interleaved with periods of time wherein the peripheral device is non-discoverable;
• and
• at a time determined based on the advertisement cadence, issue, using the object handle, a request to the operating system to establish the wireless connection to the peripheral device, such that the operating system establishes the wireless connection to the peripheral device during one of the periods of time wherein the peripheral device is discoverable.

A system comprising:

• a peripheral device comprising communication circuitry, wherein the peripheral device further comprises an advertisement cadence, and wherein the advertisement cadence comprises periods of time wherein the peripheral device is discoverable interleaved with periods of time wherein the peripheral device is non-discoverable;
• and
• an external computing device comprising:
• a memory configured to store an operating system and an application for execution on the operating system;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to execute the operating system and the application, such that the application is configured to:
• receive an object handle for establishing a wireless connection to a peripheral device of a plurality of peripheral devices, wherein the operating system creates the object handle to identify the peripheral device from other peripheral devices of the plurality of peripheral devices;
• determine, based on the object handle, the advertisement cadence for the peripheral device;
• and
• at a time determined based on the advertisement cadence, issue, using the object handle, a request to the operating system to establish the wireless connection to the peripheral device, such that the operating system establishes the wireless connection to the peripheral device during one of the periods of time wherein the peripheral device is discoverable.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry of an external computing device to execute an operating system and an application, such that the application is configured to:

• receive an object handle for establishing a wireless connection to a peripheral device of a plurality of peripheral devices, wherein the operating system creates the object handle to identify the peripheral device from other peripheral devices of the plurality of peripheral devices;
• determine, based on the object handle, an advertisement cadence for the peripheral device, wherein the advertisement cadence comprises periods of time wherein the peripheral device is discoverable interleaved with periods of time wherein the peripheral device is non-discoverable;
• and
• at a time determined based on the advertisement cadence, issue, using the object handle, a request to the operating system to establish the wireless connection to the peripheral device, such that the operating system establishes the wireless connection to the peripheral device during one of the periods of time wherein the peripheral device is discoverable.
