Problems solved by technology

Lack of information about long-range links and false positives (e.g., switching from one short-range link to another in response to short-term fluctuations in conditions) can lead to unnecessary energy usage and / or poor performance of attached devices

Abstract

The invention relates to companion assistance and efficient link selection for wearable devices. This disclosure relates to transport link selection and / or short range link selection for an accessorywireless device in association with a companion device. The accessory device may communicate via a short range wireless communication link with the companion device. The companion device may detect anevent and, based on the event, transmit assistance information to the accessory device. The accessory device may evaluate various conditions. The accessory device may select a transport link and / or short range link based at least in part on the received assistance information and / or the evaluated conditions.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to wireless communications, including techniques for a wireless device to select a transmission link based at least in part on assistance from a companion device. Background technique [0002] The use of wireless communication systems is growing rapidly. In addition, wireless communication technology has evolved from only voice communication to also include the transmission of data (such as the Internet and multimedia content). [0003] The mobile electronic device may take the form of a smart phone or a tablet computer usually carried by the user. Wearable devices (also called accessory devices) are a newer form of mobile electronic devices, and one example is a smart watch. Generally, compared to larger portable devices such as smart phones and tablet computers, wearable devices have relatively limited wireless communication capabilities and often have smaller batteries. The wearable device can operate in association with the com...
