Techniques for systems, methods, and devices for configuring an electronic device for use by a particular end-user. The electronic device can include a low power wireless communication device that transmits a periodic or occasional low power wireless beacon signal. A user operating a computing device within the proximity of the electronic device can detect the beacon signal and establish a corresponding low power wireless communication session. The computing device can then transmit configuration settings specific to the electronic device through the low power wireless communication session to the corresponding low power wireless communication device. The configuration data can be stored in a memory on the low power wireless medication device. When the electronic device coupled to the low power wireless communication device is powered up, it can access the configuration data stored in the memory.

Low power device configuration

A method of printing device discovery includes, with a low energy wireless (LEW) device within the printing device, sending a number of announcement messages. The printing device is in a sleep mode. The method further includes waking up the printing device upon receiving a response to the announcement messages from a mobile computing device. An LEW connection is established with the mobile computing device. The method further includes creating a second non-LEW wireless connection between the printing device and the mobile computing device.

Printing device discovery

A system () for establishing a secure wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) connection using near-field communication (NFC) comprising a first device (), the first device () comprising near-field communication hardware () to communicate with a second device () and obtain a handover select record, in which the handover select record comprises data to establish a secure wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with the second device (), and in which a context of the first device () and second device () defines an action to be initiated on the second device ().

Secure wireless peer-peer connection using near-field communication

Methods and an apparatus to connect a peripheral device to a wireless network access point are provided herein. A host device associated with a wireless network access point stores and obtains a set of wireless credentials related to a wireless network formed by the wireless network access point. The host device opens a connection between the host device and the peripheral device to transmit the set of wireless credentials from the host device to the peripheral device. The host device identifies the peripheral device over the wireless network access point.

Connection of peripheral devices to wireless networks

A system and method for organizing digital images automatically. A digital image is acquired and automatically converted into an image data file with an associated date, and stored into a file system folder associated with that date. When the digital image is to be acquired using an optical scanner, the method automatically acquires the image using predefined scanner settings that are appropriate to a photographic image to scan the item.
