A client device encodes data into an audio signal and communicates the audio data to an additional client device, which decodes the data from the audio signal. The data is partitioned into characters, which are subsequently partitioned into a plurality of sub-characters. Each sub-character is encoded into a frequency, and multiple frequencies that encode sub-characters are combined by the client device to generate an audio signal. Frequencies encoding sub-characters may be above 16 kilohertz, so the sub-characters are transmitted using frequencies that are inaudible to humans. The audio signal is communicated to an additional client device, which decodes frequencies from the audio signal to sub-characters, which are then combined into characters by the additional client device to generate the data.

Communicating information between devices using ultra high frequency audio

A disclosed method includes preventing a first mobile device from connecting to configured networks having connectivity information stored in a configured networks list stored in memory of the first mobile device, establishing a peer-to-peer connection with a second mobile device, performing a data transfer from the first mobile device to the second mobile device over the peer-to-peer connection while continuing to prevent the first mobile device from connecting to the configured networks, and enabling the first mobile device to connect to the configured networks after completion of the data transfer.

Method for peer-to-peer data transfer using wireless local area network radio equipment

Disclosed are methods and systems for devices in peer-to-peer networks to form a new group using information sent by a group owner in a previous group session. In some embodiments, a method of delegating group ownership from a first device to a second device for the formation of a new group includes: determining the second device will be the group owner of the new group during a current group session; broadcasting to devices in the current group session that the second device will be the group owner of the new group; dissolving the current group session; and forming a new group with the second device as group owner.

Methods and systems for delegating group ownership for the formation of a new group

Disclosed are methods and systems for broadcasting and scanning for a service simultaneously. The present disclosure provides a solution for devices utilizing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
