Abstract
A system securely forming a short distance wireless network has a first device for generating a first signal including an identification symbol; and a second device for receiving the first signal over a wired data connection or proximity based wireless connection between the first and the second devices. The second device generates a second signal responsive to the second device generating a first signal including the identification symbol and receiving a second signal including a pairing message.
Claims6
A system securely forming a short distance wireless network, comprising:
- a) a first device for generating a first signal including an identification symbol;
- and
- b) a second device for receiving said first signal over a wired data connection or proximity based wireless connection between said first and said second devices and for generating a second signal responsive to said second device generating a first signal including the identification symbol and receiving a second signal including a pairing message.
A method for adding a first device to a short distance wireless network having a second device, comprising:
- a) providing an identification symbol to said first device over a wired data connection between said devices;
- b) generating a signal containing the identification symbol to said second device from said first device over said wired data connection;
- c) providing a pairing message to said second device over said wired data connection;
- and
- d) forming a wired communication channel between the first device and the second device responsive to the identification symbol and the pairing message.
- wherein the pairing message is generated automatically, in response to establishing said wired data connection.
