Maintenance of wireless devices

說明書
Where the wireless accessory 201 provides a public key within the beacon signal, the finder device 202 can encrypt the determined location data and transmit the encrypted location data to the device locator server 203 over the wide area network 114. In one embodiment, additional data can either be encrypted and transmitted along with the location data or transmitted unencrypted to the device locator server 203. For example, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) for the beacon signal can be transmitted along with the location data. The RSSI data can then be used to determine the distance of the wireless accessory 201 from the finder device 202 and assist in triangulation on the owner device. Where the RSSI data is transmitted in an unencrypted state, in one embodiment the server can use RSSI information to reduce noise by discarding very weak signals if other, stronger signals are present. In one embodiment, UWB ranging data can also be provided, where such data is available.
