An accessory communication control protocol can facilitate faster and more secure transmission of status updates from an accessory to a controller (or network base station). An accessory can register with a controller, where the controller can provide some subscription and key generation information to the accessory. The accessory can detect changes to characteristics of the accessory and generate a broadcast notification that includes updates to the state of the characteristic. The broadcast notification can also include a counter, a device identifier, and a key. According to timing or rules, the accessory can transmit the broadcast notification to the controller without the need to establish a secure session with the controller.

Techniques for group message thread link administration are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component operative to receive a join invitation command associated with a group message thread from an administrator client device, the group message thread associated with a message thread identifier, the message thread identifier identifying the group message thread on a messaging system; and send a join invitation link to the administrator client device; and a group management component operative to generate a join invitation link in response to the join invitation command, the join invitation link comprising a thread invitation identifier, wherein the thread invitation identifier is a hash of the message thread identifier. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for setting a reminder triggered by a target device. A requesting device sends a request to a server to set a notification triggered by a target device. The request includes parameters, such as a location and a condition that define when the notification is triggered. The server sends instruction to the target device to set the notification based on the parameters. When the condition such as arrival is met by the target device in relation to the location the target device sends a message to the server that the notification has been triggered. The target device can set a geo-fence to determine the position of the target device in relation to the location, and the requesting user can dictate the size of the geo-fence. The server sends a message to the requesting device that the notification has been triggered.

The present disclosure relates to an access point, a method, a medium, and a computer program product for the access point. An access point is configured to perform at least the following processing: in response to an association request received from a user station, checking a first access control list set by a user to determine whether the user station is set by the user as a user station that is to be refused access to the access point; in response to determination that the user station is set by the user as a user station that is to be refused access to the access point, determining whether a push button configuration mode of a wireless protection setup of the access point is activated and verifying whether the association request is related to the push button configuration mode; and in response to determination that the push button configuration mode of the access point is activated and the association request of the user station is related to the push button configuration mode, sending an association response to the user station to complete a network configuration process of the user station.

An information processing method, a device, and a storage medium, which relates to a screen transmission technology, are provided. The method includes: in response to a first operation acting on characters, displaying the characters in an input box, where the input box is an input box of a screen transmission application; determining a target screen-transmission code in candidate screen-transmission codes stored in a screen-transmission sending end according to input characters, where the number of characters contained in the target screen-transmission code is greater than the number of the input characters, the target screen-transmission code contains the input characters, the target screen-transmission code is a screen-transmission code of a screen-transmission receiving end, and the target screen-transmission code is acquired by the screen-transmission sending end from a beacon received from the screen-transmission receiving end; displaying the target screen-transmission code in the input box.

The disclosure describes techniques for automatically pairing multiple source devices to a sink device in response to a single source device being paired to the source device. For instance, in response to a single source device being manually paired to wireless earbuds, the techniques may automatically pair other source devices that are associated with a common user account. In addition, this disclosure describes techniques for configuring a sink device to periodically broadcast advertisement messages indicating a current state of the sink device, which enables source devices that receive the advertisement message to determine whether to establish a connection with the sink device based on a current state of the sink device.
