PAIRING WITH COMPANION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053605 titled 'PAIRING WITH COMPANION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for device authentication and pairing in a display system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The display system includes a head-mountable display, computer memory, and processor(s).
  • When a request to authenticate a connection between the display system and a companion device is received, first data is determined based on audio data spoken by a user.
  • The first data is sent to an authentication device, which compares it to second data received from the companion device, also based on the audio data.
  • If there is a correspondence between the first and second data, the authentication device sends a confirmation to the display system, allowing communication between the display system and the companion device.

Potential Applications of this Technology:

  • Device authentication and pairing in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) headsets.
  • Secure communication between head-mounted displays and companion devices, such as controllers or other computer devices.

Problems Solved by this Technology:

  • Ensures secure and reliable authentication and pairing between the display system and companion devices.
  • Prevents unauthorized access to the display system or communication with unauthorized companion devices.

Benefits of this Technology:

  • Enhanced security and privacy for users of head-mounted displays.
  • Simplified and seamless pairing process between the display system and companion devices.
  • Improved user experience in VR or AR applications by enabling reliable communication with companion devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure describes techniques for device authentication and/or pairing. a display system can comprise a head mountable display, computer memory, and processor(s). in response to receiving a request to authenticate a connection between the display system and a companion device (e.g., controller or other computer device), first data may be determined, the first data based at least partly on audio data spoken by a user. the first data may be sent to an authentication device configured to compare the first data to second data received from the companion device, the second data based at least partly on the audio data. based at least partly on a correspondence between the first and second data, the authentication device can send a confirmation to the display system to permit communication between the display system and companion device.
