Method and apparatus to enable pairing of devices

1. A method of pairing two devices comprising:

receiving a signal to enter into a pairing mode, the signal comprising a motion signature that is generated upon a user moving at least one of the two devices in a predetermined motion pattern that identifies a type of device to pair with, wherein the signal automatically initiates the pairing mode;

detecting a motion indicating a pairing;

establishing a secure connection with another device for pairing, the secure connection established based on the motion; and

exchanging data for pairing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving a signal to enter into pairing mode further comprises receiving indication through a user interface that a pairing is about to be initiated.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal indicating a pairing further comprises a signal identifying a target device for pairing.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the motion indicating a pairing comprises any motion performed simultaneously with the two devices.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a key is generated based on the motion, the key used for the secure connection.

6. A method of pairing two devices comprising:

receiving a signal to enter into a pairing mode, the signal comprising a motion signature that is generated upon a user moving at least one of the two devices in a predetermined motion pattern that identifies a type of device to pair with, wherein the signal automatically initiates the pairing mode;

instructing a user to hold the two devices together and perform a motion with the two devices together during the pairing process; and

pairing the devices based on the motion.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

using an additional motion signature derived from the motion to identify the devices to be paired.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

establishing a secure connection for the pairing, the secure connection established based on the motion.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

identifying a target device based on the motion;

performing a handshake with the device;

synchronizing clocks of the two devices based on the handshake data; and

using the motion data and associated clock data to pair the two devices.

10. A method of pairing a first device and a second device comprising:

receiving a signal to enter into a pairing mode, the signal comprising a motion signature that is generated upon a user moving at least one of the first device or the second device in a predetermined motion pattern that identifies a type of device to pair with, wherein the signal automatically initiates the pairing mode;

initiating the pairing mode in the first device and the second device;

receiving simultaneous, identical motion information at the first device and the second device, resulting from a user moving the first device and the second device together;

using the motion information to establish a secure connection between the first device and the second device; and

exchanging data for pairing through the secure connection.

11. A method of pairing a first device to a second device, the method comprising the first device:

receiving motion information indicating entry into pairing mode, the motion information comprising a motion signature that is generated upon a user moving the first device in a predetermined motion pattern that identifies a type of device to pair with, wherein the motion information automatically initiates the pairing mode;

sending out a discovery signal to discover the second device;

comparing the motion information with data from the second device to identify the correct second device;

setting up a secure connection between the first device and the second device; and

exchanging data for pairing through the secure connection.
