Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving at a first time, by a candidate device, a first signal emitted from a source device, wherein the first signal is emitted from the source device in response to a beginning portion of a physical movement of the source device in relation to the candidate device, wherein the physical movement represents a request to establish a spontaneous connection between the source device and the candidate device; receiving at a second time, by the candidate device, a second signal emitted from the source device, wherein the second signal is emitted from the source device in response to an ending portion of the physical movement; computing a time difference between the first time and the second time; receiving from the source device, by the candidate device and based at least in part on the time difference, a connection probe; establishing, based at least in part on the received connection probe, the spontaneous connection between the source device and the candidate device.
