1. A method of pairing electronic devices, comprising:
- detecting a physical orientation of at least two electronic devices;
detecting acceleration data when the at least two electronic devices are initially shaken together in immediate proximity;
generate a code shared by the at least two electronic devices when initially shaken together; and
pairing the at least two electronic devices by using an accelerometer when the at least two electronic devices are subsequently shaken together and a match is found with the acceleration data and the shared code among the at least two electronic devices.
