1. A system comprising:
- one or more electrical circuit devices including at least;
circuitry configured for detecting at least one duration of direct physical contact of at least one mobile device with one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device;
circuitry configured for determining, based at least on the detected at least one duration of direct physical contact of the at least one mobile device to the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device; and
circuitry configured for pairing the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device as a result of the determination whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, the circuitry configured for pairing including at least circuitry configured for authenticating the pairing for securing at least one communication channel between the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device.

1. A system comprising:
one or more electrical circuit devices including at least; circuitry configured for detecting at least one duration of direct physical contact of at least one mobile device with one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device; circuitry configured for determining, based at least on the detected at least one duration of direct physical contact of the at least one mobile device to the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device; and circuitry configured for pairing the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device as a result of the determination whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, the circuitry configured for pairing including at least circuitry configured for authenticating the pairing for securing at least one communication channel between the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method comprising:
-
detecting at least one duration of direct physical contact of at least one mobile device with one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device; determining, based at least on the detected at least one duration of direct physical contact of the at least one mobile device to the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device; and pairing the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device as a result of the determination whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, the pairing including at least authenticating the pairing for securing at least one communication channel between the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device.

28. A system comprising:
-
means for detecting at least one duration of direct physical contact of at least one mobile device with one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device; means for determining, based at least on the detected at least one duration of direct physical contact of the at least one mobile device to the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device; and means for pairing the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device as a result of the determination whether to effect pairing of the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device, the means for pairing including at least means for authenticating the pairing for securing at least one communication channel between the at least one mobile device and the one or more of at least one home device or at least one office device.
