1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause said computer to perform a method for transferring an account associated with a first device to a second device, wherein said method comprises:
when said first device is located in a physical proximity of said second device, initiating, by said first device and with a server, an authorization process for said second device to use said account, wherein said first device is considered an authorized device by said server; receiving, at said first device and from said server, an authorization code via a digital data communication channel; encoding said authorization code into an acoustical waveform; and transmitting said acoustical waveform via a loud speaker to said second device, wherein when said second device decodes said acoustical waveform and sends the decoded acoustical waveform to said server, said server establishes that said first device and said second device are located within a proximate physical location and then authorizes said second device to use said account while communicating with said server. |
