Wireless device pairing
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a radio receiver adapted to receive communications transmitted from a radio transmitter of a base station;
a memory including a second base station ID store thereon; and
processing circuitry adapted to;
in response to detection of a condition that, when met, indicates the second base station ID is to be verified, determine whether a first base station ID received from the base station matches the second base station ID stored in the memory, andin response to a determination that the first base station ID received from the base station does not match the second base station ID stored in the memory, cause a memory location of the device to be reprogrammed such that the first base station ID matches the second base station ID.

Abstract
Generally discussed herein are wireless systems, apparatuses, and methods for pairing a device and a base station. For example, the disclosed techniques may enable communication between a headphone base station (broadcasting an audio signal over a wireless channel) and a headphone set device (receiving an audio signal over a wireless channel) that establish communications using one or more identifiers. In some examples, a device or base station identifier maintained at the base station or device, respectfully, is validated and reprogrammed when it does not match a corresponding provided from the device or base station. In further examples, the validation and reprogramming may occur in response to a condition such as a charging event (such as the placement of the headphone set device onto a charging station provided by the headphone base station).

11. A method, comprising electronic operations performed by at least one processor of a device, the operations including:
-
receiving, at the device, from a base station, and over a wired or wireless connection, a first base station identification (ID) stored in a memory of the base station; determining, using the processor, whether the first base station ID matches a second base station stored in a memory of the device; and in response to determining the first base station ID does not match the second base station ID, causing a first memory location in the memory of the device to be reprogrammed with the first base station ID received from the base station. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 22, 23)

17. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions, which when executed by a device, cause the device to perform operations comprising:
-
processing a first base station identification (ID) received from a wired or wireless connection with abuse station, the first base station ID originating in a memory of the base station; detecting a condition for verifying the first base station ID; in response to detecting the condition, determining whether the first base station ID matches a second base station ID stored in a memory of the device; and in response to determining the first base station ID does not match the second base station ID, causing a first memory location in the memory of the device to be reprogrammed to a value of the first base station ID. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
