1. A vehicle system comprising:
-
a vehicle; a vehicle control system coupled to said vehicle; and a communication unit coupled to said vehicle control system, wherein said communication unit intercepts a first signal associated with a first device, said first device being located in a zone of said vehicle, and said vehicle control system pairing said first device with said vehicle by isolating an identifier associated with said first device and registering said first device with said vehicle control system. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
-
2. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein said vehicle control system isolates said identifier based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet.
-
3. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein, instead of utilizing an active pair handshake, said vehicle control system isolates said identifier based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet.
-
4. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein said communication unit is one or more of a sensor, antenna, transceiver, or transmitter.
-
5. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein said vehicle control system includes a processor, a memory coupled to said processor, and an input-output module coupled to said memory.
-
6. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein said identifier is a MAC address.
-
7. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein pairing said first device with said vehicle includes utilizing one or more of a Bluetooth protocol or Near Field Communications protocol.
-
8. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein registering said first device with said vehicle control system includes registering said device with one or more of said vehicle, said zone of said vehicle, or a user.
-
9. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein permission is requested from a user prior to pairing said first device with said vehicle.
-
10. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein upon a first registering of said first device with said vehicle control system, pairing said first device with said vehicle is initiated by said vehicle to said first device.
-
11. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein subsequent pairings of said first device with said vehicle are initiated by a user of said first device.
-
2. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein said vehicle control system isolates said identifier based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet.

-
12. A method of device pairing comprising:
-
intercepting a first signal by using a communication unit associated with a first device located in a zone of a vehicle; providing said first signal associated with said first device to a vehicle control system; pairing, by the vehicle control system, said first device with said vehicle by isolating an identifier associated with said first device; and registering, by the vehicle control system, said first device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
-
13. The method of claim 12, wherein isolating said identifier associated with said first device is based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet using said vehicle control system.
-
14. The method of claim 12, wherein isolating said identifier associated with said first device is based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet and is performed instead of utilizing an active pair handshake.
-
15. The method of claim 12, wherein said communication unit that intercepts said first signal is one or more of a sensor, antenna, transceiver, or transmitter.
-
16. The method of claim 12, wherein said vehicle control system includes a processor, a memory coupled to said processor, and an input-output module coupled to said memory.
-
13. The method of claim 12, wherein isolating said identifier associated with said first device is based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet using said vehicle control system.
-
-
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising microprocessor executable instructions that, when executed, perform the following operations:
-
intercepting a first signal associated with a first device located in a zone of a vehicle using a communication unit; providing said first signal associated with said first device to a vehicle control system; pairing said first device with said vehicle by isolating an identifier associated with said first device using a vehicle control system; and registering said first device with said vehicle control system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
-
18. The medium of claim 17, wherein isolating said identifier associated with said first device is based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet using said vehicle control system.
-
19. The medium of claim 17, wherein isolating said identifier associated with said first device is based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet and is performed instead of utilizing an active pair handshake.
-
18. The medium of claim 17, wherein isolating said identifier associated with said first device is based on at least one of a cell tower registration signal, a sent message, or a sent packet using said vehicle control system.
