Systems and methods for wireless device connection and pairing
First Claim
1. A method for wireless device connection or device pairing comprising:
- acquiring, with a wireless device, a machine-readable feature; and
in response to acquiring the machine-readable feature;
decoding the machine-readable feature;
accessing connection parameters relating to at least one other wireless device based at least in part on the decoded machine-readable feature; and
initiating a wireless connection between the wireless device and the at least one other wireless device based at least in part on the accessed connection parameters,wherein the accessing comprises;
converting the decoded machine-readable feature into a digital representation;
using at least a first part of the digital representation as a key for a database table;
using at least a second part of the digital representation as a network address; and
looking up, based at least in part on the key and network address, the connection parameters from the database table.

Abstract
Systems and methods for wireless device connection and pairing are provided. Embodiments relate to automatic device connection or pairing by accessing or acquiring a machine-readable feature. Machine-readable features may include printed or displayed machine-readable indicia, such as linear (e.g., one-dimensional) barcodes, matrix (e.g., two-dimensional) barcodes, quick response (QR) codes, characters, symbols, labels, pictorial icons, graphics, images, watermarks, holograms, or any other printed or displayed indicia that may be used to encode, represent, or lookup information. Machine-readable features may also include non-printed features, such as magnetic strips, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, various other types of sensors and tags embedded or attached to electronic devices, and audio and visual signals.

21. A system for wireless device connection or device pairing comprising:
-
a machine-readable feature; and a wireless device comprising a controller configured to; acquire the machine-readable feature, in response to acquiring the machine-readable feature; decode the machine-readable feature, access, using the decoded machine-readable feature, connection parameters relating to at least one other wireless device, and establish a wireless connection between the wireless device and the at least one other wireless device, wherein the accessing comprises; converting the decoded machine-readable feature into a digital representation; using at least a first part of the digital representation as a key for a database table; using at least a second part of the digital representation as a network address; and looking up, based at least in part on the key and network address, the connection parameters from the database table. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions recorded thereon, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
acquire, with a wireless device, a machine-readable feature; and in response to acquiring the machine-readable feature; decode the machine-readable feature; access, using the decoded machine-readable feature, connection parameters relating to at least one other wireless device, and establish a wireless connection between the wireless device and the at least one other wireless device, wherein the accessing comprises; converting the decoded machine-readable feature into a digital representation; using at least a first part of the digital representation as a key for a database table; using at least a second part of the digital representation as a network address; and looking up, based at least in part on the key and network address, the connection parameters from the database table.
