System and Method for Securely Pairing a Wireless Device Using Wireless Communication
First Claim
1. A system for securely pairing a wireless device using wireless communication, comprising:
- a pairing enclosure having at least one shielding layer to substantially attenuate a pairing signal emitted within the pairing enclosure during a pairing procedure;
a pairing signal receiver configured to detect a power level of the pairing signal transmitted through the pairing enclosure; and
an indicator operable to receive a signal from the pairing signal receiver to indicate when a power level of the pairing signal measured by the pairing signal receiver is within a predetermined power level range.

Abstract
Various embodiments of an invention for pairing a plurality of wireless devices using wireless communications are disclosed. A method for pairing a wireless device comprises placing the wireless device in a pairing enclosure. The pairing enclosure includes a shielding layer to substantially attenuate a pairing signal emitted within the pairing enclosure. A pairing signal transmitted through the pairing enclosure is received at a pairing signal receiver configured to detect a power level of the pairing signal. An indication is made regarding whether the pairing procedure can begin, proceed, or be terminated based on the power level of the pairing signal detected by the paring signal receiver.
