Abstract
Various embodiments of an invention for pairing a plurality of wireless devices using wireless communications is disclosed. A method for pairing a plurality of devices comprises attenuating a pairing signal emitted from a wireless device within a pairing enclosure during a pairing procedure. A power level of the pairing signal that is emitted through the pairing enclosure is received at a pairing signal receiver. The pairing procedure is permitted to continue when the power level of the pairing signal is less than a predetermined power level.
Claims20
A method for securely pairing a wireless device, comprising:
- attenuating a pairing signal emitted from the wireless device within a pairing enclosure during a pairing procedure;
- detecting a power level of the pairing signal that is emitted through the pairing enclosure and received at a pairing signal receiver;
- and
- permitting the pairing procedure to continue when the power level of the pairing signal is less than a predetermined power level;
- or
- terminating the pairing procedure when the power level of the pairing signal is greater than the predetermined power level.
A method for pairing a wireless device, comprising:
- placing the wireless device in a pairing enclosure, wherein the pairing enclosure includes a shielding layer to substantially attenuate a pairing signal emitted within the pairing enclosure during a pairing procedure;
- receiving the pairing signal transmitted through the pairing enclosure at a pairing signal receiver configured to detect a power level of the pairing signal;
- and
- permitting the pairing procedure to continue based on the power level of the pairing signal that is detected by the pairing signal receiver;
- or
- terminating the pairing procedure based on the power level of the pairing signal that is detected by the pairing signal receiver,
- wherein the pairing procedure includes pairing the wireless device in the pairing enclosure to a secondary device inside the pairing enclosure.
A system for securely pairing a plurality of wireless devices, the system comprising:
- a pairing enclosure having a shielding layer to substantially attenuate a pairing signal emitted within the pairing enclosure during a pairing procedure;
- a pairing signal receiver configured to detect a power level of the pairing signal emitted within the pairing enclosure during the pairing procedure;
- and
- a test signal transmitter configured to transmit a test pairing signal through the pairing enclosure to the pairing signal receiver;
