Abstract:
Pairing one or more personal devices to a host device is provided. An example method includes detecting one or more personal devices in wireless proximity communication range of a host device; allocating and storing a respective unique input instruction for each personal device in range, wherein a unique input instruction is convertible to an augmented reality display input at a personal device; transmitting the unique input instruction to the personal device; providing an input interface of the host device; receiving, from a user of the personal device, user input at the input interface of the host device; and activating an exclusive pairing between the host device and the personal device for which the user input has been received.
