NETWORK PAIRING OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES THROUGH ONE OR MORE INTERMEDIATE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device for network pairing with a remote communication device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver having indirect communication with the remote communication device via a first ad hoc connection to an intermediate communication device, and capable of direct communication with the remote communication device via a second ad hoc connection,wherein the wireless transceiver is capable of exchanging ad hoc addresses with the remote communication device via the first ad hoc connection and forming the second ad hoc connection based on the ad hoc addresses exchanged via the first ad hoc connection.

Abstract
A system and method for network pairing with two or more wireless communication devices, in which each device includes a wireless transceiver. For each device, the wireless transceiver has indirect communication with the other communication device via a first ad hoc connection to an intermediate communication device, and is capable of direct communication with the other communication device via a second ad hoc connection. The wireless transceivers of the wireless communication devices exchange network address information needed for paired communication between the devices, thus minimizing the need to search and discovery for paired communication.
