WIRELESS DEVICE PAIRING

摘要

Generally discussed herein are wireless systems, apparatuses, and methods for pairing a device and a base station. For example, the disclosed techniques may enable communication between a headphone base station (broadcasting an audio signal over a wireless channel) and a headphone set device (receiving an audio signal over a wireless channel) that establish communications using one or more identifiers. In some examples, a device or base station identifier maintained at the base station or device, respectfully, is validated and reprogrammed when it does not match a corresponding provided from the device or base station. In further examples, the validation and reprogramming may occur in response to a condition such as a charging event (such as the placement of the headphone set device onto a charging station provided by the headphone base station).

主权项

1. A base station comprising:
a radio receiver adapted to receive a first device identifier (ID) transmitted from a radio transmitter of a device; a radio transmitter adapted to transmit communications to a radio receiver of the device, wherein the communications to the radio receiver of the device utilize a device ID value; a memory including a second device ID; and a device ID reprogramming module adapted to:
in response to detecting a condition for verifying the second device ID, determine whether the first device ID received from the device matches the second device ID stored in the memory; andin response to determining the first device ID received from the device does not match the second device ID stored in the memory, cause the second device ID in the memory to be reprogrammed with the first device ID, resulting in subsequent communications to the radio receiver of the device to utilize the first device ID as the device ID value.
