Publication number: 20170311365Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a system and method for wirelessly identifying and validating an electronic device in order to initiate a communication process with another device or a service. In an embodiment, the system includes a portable biometric monitoring device that is identified by a client device or a server for the purpose of initiating a pairing process. In an embodiment, pairing implies pairing the portable device to an online user account with minimal user interaction. After pairing, the portable device and appropriate client devices and servers communicate with little or no user interaction, for example to upload sensor data collected by the portable device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2017Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: Peter Andrew Molettiere, James Park, Aislinn Abigail Bilodeaux-Dewey, Christine Boomer Brumback, Eric Nathan Friedman, Robert Curtis Cole, Heiko Gernot Albert Panther, Andrew Cole Axley
