Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for automatic pairing of two devices for wireless communication, the computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting, by a first device, a second device in a communicable range of the first device, wherein the first device has not been paired with the second device for wireless communication;
determining, by the first device, by communicating with a third device, that the second device is paired with the third device, wherein the first device and the third device are paired previously;
establishing, by the first device, a new communication session with the third device that causes the third device to generate key material for pairing the first device and the second device together and transmit the key material to the second device, wherein the key material is generated using a key derivation function and the key material comprises a non-overlapping binary string;
confirming, by the first device, that the key material at the first device matches key material at the second device; and
establishing, by the first device, a communication link with the second device for wireless communication in response to the key material being a match.
