Abstract: A method of processing requests for different digital services hosted by respective service entities is disclosed. The method including steps of receiving a request packet from a communication device, the request packet includes source and destination identifiers, determining which one of the different digital services the communication device is requesting a service, based on the destination identifier, authenticating the request packet based on the source identifier to determine an access permission of the communication device for accessing the determined digital service, and if the access permission is granted, modifying the request packet and forwarding the modified request packet based on the destination identifier to the determined digital service for processing.

Abstract: A method of pairing mobile devices 102,104 is disclosed herein. In a described embodiment, the method includes (i) receiving pairing parameters from the mobile devices 102,104 to be paired, the pairing being initiated by shaking movement of the mobile devices 102,104 and the pairing parameters including respective shaking directions of the mobile devices 102,104; (ii) verifying the pairing parameters with pairing conditions to determine the two mobile devices 102,104 for pairing; (iii) determining if the shaking directions are to be used in the verification step (ii); and (iv) if the pairing conditions are satisfied, pairing the mobile devices 102,104. An apparatus for pairing mobile devices and other pairing methods are also disclosed.
