METHOD AND SYSTEM USING VIBRATION SIGNATURES FOR PAIRING MASTER AND SLAVE COMPUTING DEVICES

摘要

A method and a system of using vibration signatures for pairing two devices. The method and the system include an apparatus that has a master side and a slave side. The slave side has at least one frictional structure. A first device is inserted into the master side. When a second device is inserted through the slave side, a pattern of vibration is generated. Vibration detecting devices on the first and second devices detect the pattern of vibration. A program of the first device validates a master vibration signature and configures the first device as a master device. A program of the second device validates a slave vibration signature and configures the second device as a slave device. The master device and the slave device are automatically paired.

1. A method of using vibration signatures for pairing two devices, comprising the steps of:
providing an apparatus having a master side and a slave side, the slave side having at least one frictional structure; inserting a first device into the master side; generating a pattern of vibration while inserting a second device through the slave side; detecting, by a vibration detecting device of the first device and by a vibration device of the second device, the pattern of vibration; validating a master vibration signature by a first program on the first device and a slave vibration signature by a second program on the second device; configuring the first device as a master device by the first program and the second device as a slave device by the second program; and wherein the master device and the slave device are automatically paired.
