Wireless initialization of electronic devices for first time use
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of initializing an electronic shoe-mounted device comprising:
- communicating, from a computing device and to the electronic shoe-mounted device, to identify a pairing token for establishing a wireless communication session with the electronic shoe-mounted device;
providing, by the computing device, the pairing token to the electronic shoe-mounted device during a handshake process that establishes the wireless communication session with the electronic shoe-mounted device; and
performing an initialization process via the wireless communication session that initializes the electronic shoe-mounted device such that the electronic shoe-mounted device is available to monitor movement by a user of the electronic shoe-mounted device following the initialization process.

Abstract
Apparatuses, devices, and methods of initializing an electronic device such as a wrist-worn device are provided. An optical input device may read the display of the wrist-worn device to obtain input corresponding to a pairing token presented at the display. An optical input processor may process the input to identify the pairing token. The pairing token may be provided to the wrist-worn device during a handshake process in order to establish a wireless communications session with the wrist-worn device. An initialization process may be performed via the wireless communication session. The initialization process may initialize the wrist-worn device such that a user may operate the wrist-worn device following the initialization process.

10. A electronic shoe-mounted device that obtains information corresponding to movements of a user while the user wears the electronic shoe-mounted device, the electronic shoe-mounted device comprising:
-
a pairing token generator that generates a pairing token locally at the electronic shoe-mounted device; wherein the electronic shoe-mounted device establishes a wireless communication session with a computing device through a pairing process that uses the pairing token; wherein an initialization process is automatically initiated once the wireless communication session is established; and wherein the electronic shoe-mounted device is available to monitor movement by the user following the initialization process. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus for initializing an electronic shoe-mounted device, the apparatus comprising:
-
an input device that, in operation, obtains input corresponding to a pairing token of the electronic shoe-mounted device; an input processor that, in operation, processes the input to identify the pairing token; a configuration application that, in operation, provides the pairing token to the electronic shoe-mounted device during a handshake process that establishes a wireless communication session with the electronic shoe-mounted device; and wherein the configuration application, in operation, performs an initialization process via the wireless communication session that initializes the electronic shoe-mounted device such that the electronic shoe-mounted device is available to monitor movement by a user of the electronic shoe-mounted device following the initialization process. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
