Abstract:
Described herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing proximity-based authentication operations using received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values. An expected proximity of devices to be paired is used to determine whether to execute a wireless personal area network (WPAN) connection process. This expected proximity is correlated with the RSSI value of received signals. By utilizing the RSSI value of received signals, embodiments do not utilize any additional hardware for performing the described proximity-based authentication process, and in some implementations, do not utilize any additional processes or routines to determine an RSSI value (e.g., some devices utilize RSSI values in order to adjust output power levels of transmitted signals, and thus, already execute processes or routines to determine RSSI values).

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus comprising:\n one or more memory devices; one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memory devices; a device connection module, executable via the one or more processors using instructions stored by the one or more memory devices, to execute a wireless personal area network (WPAN) connection process, including operations to:\n receive a signal from a peripheral device during WPAN connection process, the received signal to comprise at least one of a peripheral device advertising broadcast signal or a peripheral device pairing response signal; \n determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value for the received signal; and \n based on the comparison, complete the WPAN connection process with the peripheral device.
