A system may include and/or involve a first device, a second device, and logic to effect pairing of the first and second devices upon activation of contact sensors of both the first and second devices.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
circuitry configured to detect touch contact associated with at least one contact point of the device; circuitry configured to authenticate at least one individual based at least partly on fingerprint information obtained at least partly through the at least one contact point of the device, the circuitry configured to authenticate at least one individual including at least circuitry configured to authorize an extent of pairing of the device and at least one other device according to at least one of identification of at least one of the device and the at least one other device, and identification of a user of at least one of the device and the at least one other device including:
circuitry configured to authorize access to functions and/or features of at least one of the device and the at least one other device to an extent of which varies according to the manner and/or point of contact with at least one of the device and the at least one other device; and circuitry configured to wirelessly transmit encrypted payment information from the device to the at least one other device to accomplish at least one commercial transaction at least partly in response to authentication of the at least one individual.
