Abstract

The present invention provides a mobile terminal includes a first information recording unit configured to record first motion information of the mobile terminal, and a first pairing processing unit configured to generate a first pairing request. The first pairing request includes the first motion information which will be used as a pairing key, or a second pairing request is parsed. The second pairing request is received from a wearable device by a first data interaction unit, and the second pairing request includes second motion information from the wearable device which will be used as a pairing key. When the second motion information matches the first motion information, the first pairing processing unit generates a response message for the second pairing request, to realize pairing and connection between the mobile terminal and the wearable device. The present invention further provides a wearable device and a pairing method.
