Abstract

Described are techniques for caching a data payload on a peripheral device for delivery to a target device. The techniques include receiving, at a peripheral device via a short-range wireless protocol, a data payload intended for a target device, where the data payload is received from a source device configured to send the data payload to the target device. The techniques further include storing the data payload in a memory of the peripheral device for a time that allows the peripheral device to be placed in network proximity of the target device and transfer the data payload from the peripheral device to the target device. The techniques further include detecting the target device via a short-range wireless network, and sending the data payload to the target device via a short-range wireless protocol used by the target device.
