Estimating the term…
A host device, such as a laptop or desktop computer, that supports wireless point-to-point connections with a peripheral device, such as a pair of headphones, mouse, etc., is configured with a proximity platform with which services register to execute particular filters or scenarios upon the host device connecting or attempting to connect with a peripheral device. For example, an advertisement packet transmitted from the peripheral device using Bluetooth may be customized with a particular pattern that corresponds to one or more registered patterns from the registered services, thereby causing the proximity platform to perform particular functions. Peripheral devices can thereby customize their products so that a host computer automatically performs a function upon receiving an advertisement from the peripheral device, such as surface a notification on a user interface of the host device or track the peripheral device's location.
A method for executing scenarios on a host device based on proximity to a peripheral device, in which the host device includes a wireless communication device to at least monitor beaconing from the peripheral device, the method comprising:
A computing device, comprising:
One or more non-transitory hardware-based computer-readable memory devices storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors disposed in a host device, cause the host device to:
