Maintenance of wireless devices

A data processing system on a wireless device comprising:

• a memory device;
• and
• one or more processors to execute instructions stored in the memory device, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to perform operations to:
• establish a first encrypted wireless connection with a first electronic device;
• in response to establishment of the first encrypted wireless connection:
• set an indicator in a status field of a first wireless advertisement packet type, wherein the indicator indicates that a maintenance operation has been performed on the wireless device during a first key rotation period;
• and
• broadcast a wireless beacon having the first wireless advertisement packet type;
• in response to disconnection from the first encrypted wireless connection, start a counter on the wireless device associated with a timeout period, wherein expiration of the timeout period triggers the wireless device to transition from a first broadcast mode to a second broadcast mode;
• during a transition from the first key rotation period to a second key rotation period, reset the indicator in the status field of the first wireless advertisement packet type to indicate that the maintenance operation needs to be performed and broadcasting the wireless beacon having the first wireless advertisement packet type;
• in response to resetting the indicator in the status field, establish a second encrypted wireless connection with a second electronic device;
• and
• perform the maintenance operation by resetting the counter on the wireless device associated with the timeout period after the second encrypted wireless connection is established.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to cause one or more processors of a wireless device to perform operations comprising:

• establishing a first encrypted wireless connection with a first electronic device;
• in response to establishing the first encrypted wireless connection:
• setting an indicator in a status field of a first wireless advertisement packet type, wherein the indicator indicates that a maintenance operation has been performed on the wireless device during a first key rotation period;
• and
• broadcasting a wireless beacon having the first wireless advertisement packet type;
• in response to disconnecting from the first encrypted wireless connection, starting a counter on the wireless device associated with a timeout period, wherein expiration of the timeout period triggers the wireless device to transition from a first broadcast mode to a second broadcast mode;
• during a transition from the first key rotation period to a second key rotation period, resetting the indicator in the status field of the first wireless advertisement packet type to indicate that the maintenance operation needs to be performed and broadcasting the wireless beacon having the first wireless advertisement packet type;
• in response to resetting the indicator in the status field, establishing a second encrypted wireless connection with a second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device is associated with an account shared with the first electronic device;
• and
• performing the maintenance operation by resetting the counter on the wireless device associated with the timeout period after establishing the second encrypted wireless connection.
