Tracking functionality standby mode for third party electronic devices

An electronic device, comprising:

• a first electronic circuit configured to enable a primary functionality of the electronic device;
• a second electronic circuit configured to enable a tracking functionality of the electronic device;
• a power source configured to power the first electronic circuit and the second electronic circuit;
• and
• a controller configured to configure the electronic device to operate in each of an on mode, a first standby mode, and a second standby mode;
• wherein:
• the primary functionality of the electronic device and the tracking functionality of the electronic device are both enabled when the electronic device is configured to operate in the on mode;
• the primary functionality of the electronic device is restricted and the tracking functionality of the electronic device is enabled such that the electronic device periodically transmits pairing protocol beacon signals at a first frequency when the electronic device is configured to operate in the first standby mode;
• and
• the primary functionality of the electronic device is disabled and the tracking functionality of the electronic device is enabled such that the electronic device periodically transmits pairing protocol beacon signals at a second frequency while otherwise being powered down when the electronic device is configured to operate in the second standby mode, wherein the second frequency is slower than the first frequency.
