First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a wake up event through a radio frequency sensor interface of a device,putting said device into an operative mode including powering a radio frequency communication interface of said device and transmitting at least one advertising message via the radio frequency communication interface in response to detection of said wake up event,determining whether a response to said at least one advertising message is received at the radio frequency communication interface within a defined time frame; and
putting said device into a passive operation mode including shutting down the radio frequency communication interface for a predetermined period of time, if no response is received within said defined time frame, wherein in said passive mode wake up events are ignored.

Abstract
A method, software tool, computer program product and low power radio device are provided for transponder aided wake-up and connection set-up by detecting a wake up event in a sleep mode of the low power radio device, putting the radio device into an operative state, transmitting at least one advert message by radio transmission, wherein the low power radio devices put into a passive mode for a predetermined period of time in case no answer is received in response to the at least one transmitted advert message.

10. A computer readable medium comprising program code stored thereon, said program code for running on a processor configured to:
-
detect wake up event through a radio frequency sensor interface of a device, put said device into an operative mode including powering a radio frequency communication interface of said device in response to detection of said wake up event, transmit at least one advertising message via the radio frequency communication interface, determine whether a response to said at least one advertising message is received at the radio frequency communication interface within a defined time frame, and put said device into a passive operation mode including shutting down the radio frequency communication interface for a predetermined period of time if no response to is received within said defined time frame, wherein in said passive mode wake up events are ignored. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive data wirelessly, a controller configured to control the operative mode of said apparatus, a timer, and a detector configured to detect a wake up event and to notify said controller to put said apparatus into an operative mode if a wake up event is detected, wherein said transceiver is further configured to transmit at least one advertising message, wherein said controller is further configured to put said apparatus into a passive mode in response to said transceiver receiving no response to said at least one transmitted advertising message, wherein said timer is configured to be active for a predetermined period of time when the apparatus is put into a passive mode, and said controller is further configured to be inactive while said timer is active so as to avoid said apparatus responding to wake up events while in said passive mode. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
means controlling the operative mode of said apparatus, means for detecting a wake up event and for notifying said means for controlling to put said apparatus into an operative mode in response to detecting said wake up even, means for transmitting at least one advertising message in response to said apparatus being put into an operative mode, and means for notifying said means for controlling to put said apparatus into a passive mode in response to receiving no response to said at least one transmitted advertising message; wherein said means for controlling further comprises timer means for being active for a predetermined period of time when the apparatus is put into a passive mode, and for keeping said means for controlling inactive while said timer means is active so as to avoid said apparatus responding to wake up events while in said passive mode.

20. An apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
-
detect a wake up event through a radio frequency sensor interface of said apparatus; put said apparatus into an operative mode including powering a radio frequency communication interface of said apparatus and transmitting at least one advertising message via the radio frequency communication interface in response to detection of said wake up event; determine whether a response to said at least one advertising message is received at the radio frequency interface within a defined time frame; and put said apparatus into a passive operation mode including shutting down the radio frequency communication interface for a predetermined period of time, if no response is received within said defined time frame, wherein in said passive mode wakeup events are ignored.
