First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a computing device comprising a device body, and one or more sensors comprising an accelerometer, wherein the device body comprises one or more processors and a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory comprises instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to;
initiate transmission of a request, to one or more other devices, requesting the one or more other devices to generate one or more predetermined vibration patterns;
measure, by the accelerometer, one or more vibrations generated by a first one of the one or more other devices;
compare the vibrations measured by the accelerometer with the one or more predetermined vibration patterns;
in response to a determination that the vibrations measured by the accelerometer correspond to the one or more predetermined vibration patterns, establish a pairing between the computing device and the first one of the one or more other devices; and
communicate with the first one of the one or more other devices in response to a successful pairing.

Abstract
A wearable computing device includes a device body, a band coupled to the device body, and one or more sensors. The device body includes one or more processors, a memory, and a touch-sensitive display. The processors are operable to authenticate, using the one or more sensors, a user of the device, and communicate with one or more target devices in response to successful authentication of the user. The processors can also authenticate the target devices, and control the target devices in response to successful authentication of the target devices. The sensors may include a camera, and to authenticate the user of the device, the processors may send a request to one or more remote devices requesting display of a pairing visual, receive an image from the camera, determine whether the image comprises valid pairing information, and if so, establish a pairing between the device and the remote devices.

11. A method comprising:
-
transmitting, from a computing device comprising an accelerometer, a request, to one or more other devices, requesting the one or more other devices to generate one or more predetermined vibration patterns; measuring, by the accelerometer, one or more vibrations generated by a first one of the one or more other devices comparing the vibrations measured by the accelerometer with the one or more predetermined vibration patterns; in response to a determination that the vibrations measured by the accelerometer correspond to the one or more predetermined vibration patterns, establishing a pairing between the computing device and the first one of the one or more other devices; and communicating with the first one of the one or more remote devices other devices in response to a successful pairing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium embodying logic that is operable when executed to:
-
initiate transmission, from a computing device comprising an accelerometer, a request, to one or more other devices, requesting the one or more other devices to generate one or more predetermined vibration patterns; compare one or more vibrations measured by the accelerometer with the one or more predetermined vibration patterns, wherein the vibrations measured by the accelerometer are generated by a first one of the one or more other devices; in response to a determination that the vibrations measured by the accelerometer correspond to the one or more predetermined vibration patterns, initiate a pairing between the computing device and the first one of the one or more other devices; and initiate a communication with the first one of the one or more other devices in response to a successful pairing. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
