Abstract
Disclosed herein is an electronic device that includes a plurality of user accessible control buttons, a memory module, and at least one processor coupled to the memory module. The electronic device is to be paired with another electronic device. The processor is configured to: generate a pairing message comprising information that specifies a configuration and capabilities of the electronic device, wherein the information lists the user accessible buttons; monitor user actions resulting from performing a sequence that is displayed on a display device, wherein the sequence was generated by the another electronic device in response to receiving the pairing message and based on the information in the pairing message, such that the sequence contains actions that can be performed using the electronic device; and broadcast indicia specifying the monitored user actions, wherein the another electronic device receives the indicia and determines that the monitored user actions match the sequence and, in response, pairs with the electronic device.
