Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention include pairing two wireless devices by placing at least one of two devices in a pairing mode; performing at least one pairing motion event with at least one of the wireless devices to satisfy at least one pairing condition; detecting satisfaction of the at least one pairing condition; and pairing the two wireless devices in response to detecting satisfaction of the at least one pairing condition. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims20
A smart device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform a method for detecting a physical motion pairing event between the smart device and a second device, the method comprising:
- receiving at least a first signal from a signal generator included in one or both of the smart device or the second device;
- determining whether the first signal exceeds a threshold;
- and
- transmitting a second signal indicating whether or not the first signal exceeds the threshold,
- wherein if the first signal exceeds the threshold, the second signal indicates that the physical motion pairing event has occurred, and the smart device executes pairing with the second device.
A method for pairing a first device with a second device upon detection of a physical motion pairing event, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one signal of a plurality of signals from a signal generator included in either the first device or the second device;
- processing the at least one signal of the plurality of signals to generate at least one processed signal;
- comparing the at least one processed signal to a predefined threshold value;
- if the at least one signal is at or exceeds the predefined threshold value, identifying the physical motion pairing event;
- and
- pairing the first device with the second device if the physical motion pairing event is identified.
A motion detection system, comprising:
- a first device including a radio receiver;
- and
- a second device including an accelerometer, one or more processors, and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform a method for detecting a physical motion pairing event between the first device and the second device, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one signal of a plurality of signals from the radio receiver or the accelerometer;
- comparing the at least one signal to a threshold value;
- and
- generating an output signal indicating if the at least one signal is at or exceeds the threshold value,
- wherein if the at least one signal is at or exceeds the threshold value, the first device executes pairing with the second device.
