Abstract
A method of pairing a first item of equipment, termed an initiating equipment desiring to transmit and receive data with a second item of equipment, termed an accepting equipment. The method includes: generating a pairing code; restoring, in the form of a first symbol, the paring code by the accepting equipment; acquiring the first symbol by the initiating equipment; and decoding the first symbol acquired delivering the pairing code.
Claims9
A method for pairing a first apparatus called an initiating apparatus, with a second apparatus called an accepting apparatus, said initiating apparatus seeking to transmit and receive data to and from said accepting apparatus, said method comprising:
- generating a pairing code;
- rendering, in the form of a first symbol, said pairing code by said accepting apparatus;
- acquiring said first symbol by said initiating apparatus;
- decoding said first acquired symbol delivering said pairing code,
- wherein the first symbol belongs to a type of symbol belonging to the group consisting of:
- a watermarked image;
- a modulated sound sequence.
An initiating apparatus seeking to transmit and receive data to and from an accepting apparatus, comprising:
- means for acquiring a first symbol representing a pairing code enabling pairing of said accepting apparatus and said initiating apparatus, said first symbol being rendered by the accepting apparatus;
- means for decoding said first acquired symbol delivering said pairing code, wherein the first symbol belongs to a type of symbol belonging to the group consisting of:
- a watermarked image;
- a modulated sound sequence.
An accepting apparatus seeking to transmit and receive data to and from an initiating apparatus, comprising:
- means for generating a pairing code enabling the pairing of said accepting apparatus and said initiating apparatus;
- means for rendering said pairing code in the form of a first symbol, wherein the first symbol belongs to a type of symbol belonging to the group consisting of:
- a watermarked image;
- a modulated sound sequence.
