Abstract
A description is therefore provided of technologies enhancing interoperability of devices located in a proximity from each other, with the goal of improving service performance, convenience and security. Interoperability between a wearable device on a user's hand and a door or a mobile phone results in improved security as well as convenience of use. Interoperability between mobile devices and a computer device embedded in a car, results in a convenient and secure lock. Interoperability between mobile devices and nearby devices belonging to different users, able to provide local computational power, results in lowering of bandwidth requirements for data transfer, by means of performing computations on the data being collected locally, as opposed to it being done on a remote server.
Claims17
A first electronic device operative to be in first and second operating states, the first electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a network interface;
- a memory or a non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium for storing computer executable instructions, wherein the computer executable instructions are configured to be executed by the one or more processors for executing the steps of:
- communicating with a second electronic device over a wireless network, wherein the second electronic device is housed in a mobile or a wearable enclosure and comprises a sensor that outputs a sensor data in response to a physical phenomenon;
- adding the second electronic device to a whitelist of devices in response to communicating between the first and the second electronic devices;
- receiving an activation input in the first operating state;
- responsive to receiving the activation input broadcasting an advertisement message;
- receiving a connection request message that comprises at least a connection request from the second electronic device in response to the advertisement message;
- determining that the second electronic device is an authorized device;
- and transitioning the first electronic device to the second operating state, based at least in part on the determination that the second electronic device is an authorized device, wherein the determination by the first electronic device that the second electronic device is an authorized device is responsive to the second electronic device being included in the whitelist of devices,
- wherein receiving the connection request message comprises receiving at least a second data from the second electronic device in response to a determination by the second electronic device that it is allowed to send the connection request message to the first electronic device in response to receiving of the advertisement message from the first electronic device,
- wherein the determination by the first electronic device that the second electronic device is an authorized device is based on the second data,
- wherein in the second operating state of the first electronic device allows performing of a first task by the first electronic device, and wherein in the first operating state of the first electronic device prevents from the performing of the first task by the first electronic device.
