PACKET TRANSMISSION METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE POSITIONING SERVICE AND APPARATUS THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18106797 titled 'PACKET TRANSMISSION METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE POSITIONING SERVICE AND APPARATUS THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device is described that includes a wireless communication circuit, at least one processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, allow the device to establish a wireless connection with an external device and receive a signal from it. The signal includes a shared key, seed information, and time information.

  • The electronic device establishes a wireless connection with an external device and receives a signal from it.
  • The signal includes a shared key, seed information, and time information.
  • The device generates an advertising packet based on the received signal.
  • The advertising packet includes privacy Identification (ID), aging counter, and signature information.
  • The device broadcasts the generated advertising packet.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various wireless communication devices such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.
  • It can be applied in secure communication protocols for authentication and data exchange.
  • The advertising packet can be used for device discovery and connection establishment in wireless networks.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of securely exchanging key and seed information between devices.
  • It addresses the need for a standardized method of device discovery and connection establishment in wireless networks.

Benefits

  • The technology provides a secure and efficient way to establish wireless connections between devices.
  • It simplifies the process of device discovery and connection establishment.
  • The use of shared keys and seed information enhances security and prevents unauthorized access.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes: a wireless communication circuit; at least one processor; and a memory configured to store data acquired from a first external device and operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: establish a wireless connection with the first external device and receive a first signal from the first external device through the wireless connection. The first signal includes a shared key registered in a server in connection with the electronic device, seed information assigned to the electronic device by the server, and first time information indicating a reference time of the server; generate an advertising packet including at least one of a privacy Identification (ID), an aging counter, and signature information based on the first signal; and broadcast the generated advertising packet.
