This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250008454 titled 'DISTRIBUTED AND SYNCHRONIZED BLUETOOTH SCAN ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES FOR FASTER BLUETOOTH DISCOVERY

Original Abstract Submitted

some aspects of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a synchronized short range communication protocol scan mechanism across multiple devices. some aspects relate to an electronic device including a transceiver configured to communicate based on a short range communication protocol and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. the processor receives one or more parameters from a peripheral electronic device and determines, based at least on the one or more parameters, one or more synchronization parameters. the processor further transmits the one or more synchronization parameters to the peripheral electronic device. the one or more synchronization parameters can include at least a scan offset associated with the peripheral electronic device.
