Indicating boot status of network device using wireless packets
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240039815A1) describes a method performed by a processor of a network device involving the initiation of a boot sequence and the transmission of wireless packets to a computing device. The first wireless packet triggers the computing device to output a first audio feedback, while the second wireless packet indicates the completion of the boot sequence and triggers a second audio feedback, which differs from the first one. The method also includes transmitting data indicating the adoption status and uptime status of the network device, with the possibility of triggering haptic feedback in addition to audio feedback.
Furthermore, the patent application details variations of the method, such as the use of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) Advertisement packets for wireless communication, the operational status of the network device during and after the boot sequence, and the different types of network devices that can implement this method, including wireless access points, network switches, cameras, routers, and home automation devices. The application also covers scenarios where haptic feedback, in the form of vibration patterns, is triggered in addition to audio feedback. Additionally, a computer-readable storage medium containing program instructions for executing the method is also disclosed in the patent application.
