| 摘要 |
The present inventions, in one aspect, are directed to systems and circuitry for and/or methods of establishing communication having one or more pairing facilitator-intermediary devices (for example, a network connected server) to enable or facilitate pairing and/or registering at least two devices (e.g., (i) a portable biometric monitoring device and (ii) a smartphone, laptop and/or tablet) to, for example, recognize, interact and/or enable interoperability between such devices. The pairing facilitator-intermediary device may responsively communicates information to one or more of the devices (to be paired or registered) which, in response, enable or facilitate such devices to pair or register. The present inventions may be advantageous where one or both of the devices to be paired or registered is/are not configured (e.g., include a user interface or certain communication circuitry that is configured or includes functionality) to pair devices without use of a facilitator-intermediary device. |

1. A method for pairing a first device and a second device, comprising:
using communication circuitry of the first device to send an encrypted instruction via a network to a pairing facilitator server, wherein using the communication circuitry is performed by the second device, wherein the second device is configured to be worn by a user, wherein the first device is configured to be held by the user while the second device is worn, wherein the encrypted instruction provides a secure communication channel between the second device and the pairing facilitator server to protect information within the encrypted instruction from being accessed by the first device; receiving via the communication circuitry of the first device encrypted pairing information in response to sending the encrypted instruction, wherein the encrypted pairing information provides protection against access by the first device of pairing information; decrypting the encrypted pairing information to generate the pairing information; and providing the pairing information to the first device to enable pairing of the second device with the first device. |
