Samsung patents UWB system for sharing device access and service context

Samsung describes a method for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) devices to manage access to services and specific zones. The system allows a source device to act as a key for a target device, transferring service information between them to maintain continuity. It also defines both logical and physical zones of interest (ZOIs) that can be shared over a wireless network.

Why it mattersThis filing outlines how UWB technology could handle secure handoffs and access control between different electronic devices, which is relevant for future smart home or car key integrations.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to method and apparatus for managing device and service access and ZOIs in UWB System. A source UWB device is disclosed that serves as a key to unlock services on a target UWB device. The service is known/not known initially on the source UWB device. The method of the present disclosure provides service continuity through a service context transfer between the UWB devices. The method of the present disclosure includes creating multiple ZOIs in UWB based logical access, defining logical ZOIs and physical ZOIs, and transferring ZOI information over the wireless network and between one or more electronic devices.
