Separation alerts for notification while traveling

1. A method performed by one or more processors of an electronic device to provide separation notifications, the method comprising:

detecting that the electronic device exits a trusted location;

monitoring the wireless connection for the at least one accessory device nearby the electronic device upon exit of the trusted location; and

upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, send a separation notification.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

upon detection of the lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, setting a first timer for a first defined period of time;

upon expiry of the first timer, request information on whether the lost wireless connection is reestablished;

updating information stored on the status of the wireless connection; and

sending the separation notification unless the lost connection is reestablished.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, monitoring a second geofence for a last known location;

updating information stored on the status of the wireless connection; and

upon detection of crossing the second geofence boundary within a second defined period of time, sending the separation notification.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring a geofence for a last known location; and

upon detection of crossing a geofence boundary of a last known location for a threshold period of time, increasing a rate of a beacon scan.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the rate of the beacon scan is performed every N seconds for M minutes at a higher duty cycle.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising increasing the rate of the beacon scan to be performed every P times more than an expected rate of packets received from the at least one accessory device.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an indication that the electronic device is located in a known location;

and

ceasing the monitoring of the wireless connection when the electronic device located within a boundary of the known location.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the receiving an indication that at least one accessory device is nearby the electronic device comprises at least one of:

receiving an indication of a wireless connection with the at least one accessory device or receiving beacon data with an indication that the at least one accessory device is nearby.

9. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to cause one or more processors of an electronic device to perform operations comprising:

detecting that the electronic device exits a trusted location;

in response to the detecting, receiving an indication that at least one accessory device is nearby the electronic device upon exit of the trusted location and storing information on a status of a wireless connection with the at least one accessory device;

receiving an indication that the electronic device is in transit;

monitoring the wireless connection for the at least one accessory device nearby the electronic device upon exit of the trusted location; and

upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, send a separation notification.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , further comprising:

upon detection of the lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, setting a first timer for a first defined period of time;

upon expiry of the first timer, requesting information on whether the lost wireless connection is reestablished;

updating information stored on the status of the wireless connection; and

sending the separation notification unless the lost connection is reestablished.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , further comprising:

upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, monitoring a second geofence for a last known location;

updating information stored on the status of the wireless connection; and

upon detection of crossing the second geofence boundary within a second defined period of time, sending the separation notification.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , further comprising:

monitoring a geofence for a last known location; and

upon detection of crossing a geofence boundary of a last known location for a threshold period of time, increasing a rate of a beacon scan.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the rate of the beacon scan is performed every N seconds for M minutes at a higher duty cycle.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , further comprising increasing the rate of the beacon scan to be performed every P times more than an expected rate of packets received from the at least one accessory device.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving an indication that the electronic device is located in a known location; and

ceasing the monitoring of the wireless connection when the electronic device located within a boundary of the known location.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the receiving an indication that at least one accessory device is nearby the electronic device comprises at least one of:

receiving an indication of a wireless connection with the at least one accessory device or receiving beacon data with an indication that the at least one accessory device is nearby.

17. A data processing system comprising:

a memory to store instructions for execution;

one or more processors to execute the instructions stored in memory, wherein the instructions, when executed cause the one or more processors to:

detect that an electronic device exits a trusted location;

in response to the detecting, receiving an indication that at least one accessory device is nearby the electronic device upon exit of the trusted location and storing information on a status of a wireless connection with the at least one accessory device;

receive an indication that the electronic device is in transit;

monitor the wireless connection for the at least one accessory device nearby the electronic device upon exit of the trusted location; and

upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, send a separation notification.

18. The data processing system of claim 17 , further causing the one or more processors to:

upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, set a first timer for a first defined period of time;

upon expiry of the first timer, request information on whether the lost wireless connection is reestablished;

update information stored on the status of the wireless connection; and

send the separation notification unless the lost connection is reestablished.

19. The data processing system of claim 17 , further causing the one or more processors to:

upon detection of a lost wireless connection for the at least one accessory device, monitor a second geofence for a last known location;

update information stored on the status of the wireless connection; and

upon detection of crossing the second geofence boundary within a second defined period of time, send the separation notification.

20. The data processing system of claim 17 , further causing the one or more processors to:

monitor a geofence for a last known location; and

upon detection of crossing a geofence boundary of a last known location for a threshold period of time, increasing a rate of a beacon scan.

21. The data processing system of claim 20 , wherein the rate of the beacon scan is performed every N seconds for M minutes at a higher duty cycle.

22. The data processing system of claim 20 , further causing the one or more processors to:

increase the rate of the beacon scan to be performed every P times more than an expected rate of packets received from the at least one accessory device.

23. The data processing system of claim 17 , further causing the one or more processors to:

receive an indication that the electronic device is located in a known location; and

cease the monitoring of the wireless connection when the electronic device located within a boundary of the known location.

24. The data processing system of claim 17 , wherein the receiving an indication that at least one accessory device is nearby the electronic device comprises at least one of:

receive an indication of a wireless connection with the at least one accessory device or receive beacon data with an indication that the at least one accessory device is nearby.
