| 发明名称 | Identifying a random advertising device as a connected device | ||
| 摘要 | An electronic device is described. When this electronic device receives a packet containing an address from another electronic device, the electronic device determines if a connection has already been established with the other electronic device using another address. If so, instead of establishing another connection with the other electronic device using the address, the electronic device modifies the packet by replacing the address with the other address so that it appears as if the packet was received via the connection with the other electronic device using the other address. In this way, the electronic device may avoid duplicate connections with the other electronic device, which can occur in communication protocols in which encoded information in advertising frames that specifies an address of the other electronic device is periodically changed. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An electronic device, comprising: an antenna; an interface circuit, coupled to the antenna, configured to communicate with other electronic devices; and control logic coupled to the interface circuit, wherein when a packet containing an address is received from a second electronic device, the control logic is configured to: determine if a connection has already been established with the second electronic device using a second address; and if so, modify the packet by replacing the address with the second address so that it appears as if the packet was received via the connection with the second electronic device using the second address. | ||
