Identification and user notification of mismatched devices
This document describes techniques for detecting and providing user notification of mismatched devices. A device mismatch of a pair of wireless devices may be detected. A wireless indication of the device mismatch may be provided to another wireless device. That wireless device may provide a user notification that the pair of wireless devices are mismatched.
1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a radio; and
a processor operably coupled to the radio and configured to cause the UE to:
receive, from a second device, one or more items of match information indicating that two wireless earphones placed in a smart storage case differ;
determine, based on the one or more items of match information, that the two wireless earphones are mismatched; and
provide, based on the determination that the two wireless earphones are mismatched, a mismatch notification.
2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more items of match information comprise a product identifier or a generation associated with each of the two wireless earphones.
3. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the second device is one of the two wireless earphones and comprises the wireless earphone of a more recent product generation of the two wireless earphones.
4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more items of match information comprise a shared random public address of the two wireless earphones.
5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the notification is displayed on a display of the UE.
6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second device is the smart storage case.
7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises an audio notification played on a speaker of the UE.
8. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to cause a first device to:
receive, from a second device, one or more items of match information indicating that two wireless earphones placed in a smart storage case differ;
determine, based on the one or more items of match information, that the two wireless earphones are mismatched; and
provide, based on the determination that the two wireless earphones are mismatched, a mismatch notification.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more items of match information comprise a product identifier or a generation associated with each of the two wireless earphones.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second device one of the two wireless earphones and comprises the wireless earphone of a more recent product generation of the two wireless earphones.
11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more items of match information comprise a shared random public address of the two wireless earphones.
12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more items of match information comprises information that the two wireless earphones have different users or owners.
13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the second device is the smart storage case.
14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the notification comprises an audio notification played on a speaker of the first device.
15. A method, comprising:
at a first device:
receiving, from a second device, one or more items of match information indicating that two wireless earphones placed in a smart storage case differ;
determining, based on the one or more items of match information, that the two wireless earphones are mismatched; and
generating, based on the determination that the two wireless earphones are mismatched, a mismatch notification.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more items of match information comprise a product identifier or a generation associated with each of the two wireless earphones.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the second device one of the two wireless earphones and comprises the wireless earphone of a more recent product generation of the two wireless earphones.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more items of match information comprise a shared random public address of the two wireless earphones.
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the notification is displayed on a display of the first device.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second device is the smart storage case.
