Method and system for pairing a chassis and container in an asset tracking system

A system for pairing a first computing device with a second computing device, the system comprising:

• the first computing device;
• and
• the second computing device;
• wherein the system is configured to:
• detect motion at the first computing device from a motion detector of the first computing device;
• determine, at the first computing device, that a pattern of the detected motion corresponds with a saved motion pattern, the saved motion pattern comprising at least one of a rotation and a movement component in one of an X, Y, or Z axis;
• activate a communications subsystem on the first computing device based on the determining to begin a pairing process;
• detect a trigger at a third computing device, the third computing device being associated with the second computing device, wherein upon detecting the trigger, a communications subsystem of the third computing device is activated for pairing the third computing device with the first computing device;
• and
• upon pairing of the first computing device and the third computing device, provide from the third computing device information about the second computing device to the first computing device.
