Abstract:
1. A method for pairing two devices comprising: while in-band transceivers of two devices, a first device and a second device, are in an off state and out-of-band transceivers of the two devices are in an on state, detecting that the two devices are within near field communication (NFC) range of each other; conveying pairing information over an out-of-band channel requiring use of the out-of-band transceivers, wherein the out-of-band channel is a near field communication (NFC) channel, wherein the conveying of pairing information requires the first device to request at least one desired in-band service, to provide a device identification (ID), and to provide an authorization code in a single message, wherein in response to the single message, the second device either denies in-band service or conveys resource use parameters for the in-band service and provides its device ID, wherein the resource use parameters and device ID are conveyed within a second single message; responsive to the conveying of pairing information, the two devices turning on the in-band transceivers; and pairing the two devices over an in-band channel, wherein the pairing uses the authorization code and the resource use parameters.
