  • Patent number: 11540136
    Abstract: Alternative pairing is used to enable communication between devices, but without conventional processes required for pairing. Moreover, multiple wireless bonds may be enabled, where both a device is linked to another device and an account is associated with the device and also a backend server. Once an appropriate bond is established, a streaming app (or partial or lightweight version of an application including a selected subset of application functionality) can be streamed to a device such that the user can enter information that can be transmitted to a paired device over the wireless connection. This can enable the association of the device to be performed with respect to the backend servers of the relevant provider. Such an approach can also establish a mechanism for the user to create an account while downloading the full application, or remainder of the application in some embodiments, in the background.
