Selective Pairing of Wireless Devices Using Shared Keys
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- scanning, by a pairing device, using a shared key for an advertising packet transmitted by a communication device, the communication device not being provisioned by the pairing device;
checking, by the pairing device, each scanned advertising packet for the shared key; and
responding, by the pairing device, to the scanned advertising packet only when the advertising packet contains the shared key;
wherein the shared key is shared among at least one of the following;
the pairing device,the communication device, anda server and/or a storage location communicatively coupled to at least one of;
the pairing device and the communication device.

Abstract
A system, a method, and a computer program product for selective pairing of wireless devices are provided. A pairing device scans for an advertising packet. The pairing device checks each scanned advertising packet for a shared key. The pairing device responds to the scanned advertising packet only when the advertising packet contains the shared key.
