TECHNIQUES FOR FACILITATING INTEROPERATION BETWEEN AN ACCESSORY AND MULTIPLE DEVICES

摘要

Techniques that facilitate interoperation between an accessory (106) and multiple devices (102,104). In one set of embodiments, a device (102) can receive, over a first communication channel (112) of a first type, information from an accessory (106) identifying communication channels (124) of a second type supported by the accessory. The device (102) can further establish a connection with the accessory on a second communication channel (124) of the second type. Upon establishment of the connection, the device (102) can transmit over the first communication channel (112) a notification identifying the connection on the second communication channel (124). Based on the notification, the accessory (106) can determine that it is connected to the same device on the first and second communication channels (112,124) and can operate accordingly.
