Abstract:
Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable linking of a wearable end user communication device (EUD) to an intermediate communication device (ICD) utilizing optical symbol sequence matching. Optical symbol reference data corresponding to an optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD is obtained from the EUD by the ICD. Optical symbol input data is also acquired by the ICD (e.g., via user inputs, EUD device proximity data, image acquisition). The devices are linked if the optical symbol reference data and optical symbol input data match. The optical symbol reference data can be displayed, allowing user confirmation of a match with the optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD. An ICD user interface touchscreen can present users with selectable color inputs to replicate the optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD, for example using an LED array. Communications between the devices before and after linking can utilize Bluetooth low energy.

Claim (Index 17):
A communication system configured to facilitate secure communications between multiple nodes in a distributed communication environment, the communication system comprising:\n a communication device comprising:\n a user interface; \n one or more processors; \n a computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the communication device to:\n scan for and receive a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) advertising packet broadcast by an end user device, the BLE advertising packet comprising end user device identifying data; \n derive optical symbol reference data from the identifying data, wherein the optical symbol reference data corresponds to an optical symbol sequence comprising a plurality of optical symbols displayed on the end user device; \n receive optical symbol input data using the user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to permit a user to enter a color sequence; \n compare the optical symbol input data to the optical symbol reference data; and \n initiate a Bluetooth low energy communication connection with the end user device when the optical symbol input data matches the optical symbol reference data.
