SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PAIRING DEVICES USING VISUAL RECOGNITION

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed at pairing a host electronic device with a peripheral electronic device using visual recognition and deep learning techniques. In particular, the host device may receive an indication of a peripheral device via a camera or as a result of searching for the peripheral device (e.g., due startup of a related application or periodic scanning). The host device may also receive an image of the peripheral device (e.g., captured via the camera, and determine a visual distance to the peripheral device based on the image. The host device may also determine a signal strength of the peripheral device, and determine a signal distance to the peripheral device based on the signal strength. The host device may pair with the peripheral device if the visual distance and the signal distance are approximately equal.
