Abstract
A method, apparatus and system of periodic heartbeat communication between devices and a control point is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a periodic heartbeat signal using a counter of a system on chip embedded in a device, and communicating the heartbeat signal to a control point managing the device to trigger a communication between the device and the control point in order to allow the device to use a low power mode between heartbeat communications. In another embodiment, a method includes communicating a heartbeat signal of a device to a control point when the device is coupled to a network of the device and the control point managing the device, performing a key exchange between the device and the control point to authenticate the device, and configuring the device based on parameter data of the control point when key exchange is successful.
