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

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices for exchanging control information in mixed radio systems. Security is added in cases where a user of a first wireless device (102) wants to command a second wireless device (101) to perform a certain action. The first and second wireless devices use different radio systems or standards (e.g. WiFi and ZigBee/802.15.4) but their radios do operate on the same frequency band (e.g. 2.4 GHz). To add security, the second wireless device (101) will only accept certain commands if it can detect that the first wireless device (102) is physically close-by. To prove that the first device (102) is close-by, it emits a predetermined energy pattern, e.g., one or more packets (the contents do not matter, while their lengths/time spacing may) using its radio system. At the same time, the second wireless device (101) measures the energy in one or more of its overlapping radio channels to detect that the first wireless device (102) is close by and execute the commanded action.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及用于在混合无线电系统中交换控制信息的方法和装置。 在第一无线设备（102）的用户想要命令第二无线设备（101）执行某个动作的情况下，添加安全性。 第一和第二无线设备使用不同的无线电系统或标准（例如WiFi和ZigBee / 802.15.4），但是它们的无线电设备在相同的频带（例如2.4GHz）上工作。 为了增加安全性，如果第二无线设备（101）可以检测到第一无线设备（102）物理上靠近，则仅接受某些命令。 为了证明第一设备（102）靠近，它发射预定的能量模式，例如一个或多个分组（内容不重要，而其长度/时间间隔可以）使用其无线电系统。 同时，第二无线设备（101）测量其重叠无线电信道中的一个或多个的能量，以检测第一无线设备（102）靠近并执行所命令的动作。

Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with remote control of media devices. In embodiments, a remote control and a content player may be configured to facilitate a secured pairing process. The remote control may be configured to send non-secured signals (such as through an IR transmitter) as well as send and receive secured signals (such as via Bluetooth™ using an RF transceiver). The remote control, in response to being turned on or asked to pair, may send a pairing request to the player that includes an identifier for the remote control and which identifies the remote control as an eligible pairing device without requiring separate entry of a security code by a user. The remote control and player may then perform a pairing process without requiring additional action on the part of a user. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A wireless communication protocol may be utilized to authenticate a protected device. If the device is not properly authenticated, the device may be rendered inoperable. Thus, a limited range RF communication between the protected device and a base station may be utilized to automatically determine whether or not the device may be utilized. If the base station is not in-range, operation of the device may be defeated.

Abstract: A method for remote monitoring of a premises. A geographically remote client is operatively coupled to a security system server capable of authenticating a user of the remote client. The remote client is then operably coupled to a security gateway capable of managing the monitoring of the premises, activating a signal at the premises for notifying an occupant at the premises that remote monitoring is occurring, and transferring information between the security gateway and the remote client. The transfer of information between the security gateway and the remote client is controlled by the user of the remote client. The security gateway may be operably coupled to at least one camera at the premises and to at least one audio station at the premises.
