Method of pairing mobile devices

摘要

A method of pairing mobile devices 102,104 is disclosed herein. In a described embodiment, the method includes (i) receiving pairing parameters from the mobile devices 102,104 to be paired, the pairing being initiated by shaking movement of the mobile devices 102,104 and the pairing parameters including respective shaking directions of the mobile devices 102,104; (ii) verifying the pairing parameters with pairing conditions to determine the two mobile devices 102,104 for pairing; (iii) determining if the shaking directions are to be used in the verification step (ii); and (iv) if the pairing conditions are satisfied, pairing the mobile devices 102,104. An apparatus for pairing mobile devices and other pairing methods are also disclosed.

主权项

1. A method of pairing mobile devices for transferring data between paired mobile devices, the method comprising,
(i) verifying pairing parameters with pairing conditions to determine the mobile devices for pairing, at least one of the pairing parameters being received from the mobile devices to be paired, the pairing being initiated by shaking movements of the mobile devices, which are not in contact with each other, and the at least one pairing parameter includes respective orientations of the mobile devices, the respective orientations corresponding to a vector that extends from a receiver of the mobile device to an ear piece of the mobile device, and determining that the respective orientations of the mobile devices are pointing at each other within a predetermined error margin, wherein the orientations of the mobile devices are obtained at a predetermined time before initiation of the shaking movements; and (ii) if the pairing conditions are satisfied, pairing the mobile devices.
