Abstract
A device/object is paired to one or more communication devices for the purpose of activating and/or deactivating the device/object. Such activation of the device/object requires that the paired devices be in concurrent possession of the user (i.e., within a specified range of the user) and that, while in concurrent possession of the user, communicate information from the device/object to the communication device. Thus, the invention provides for additional security, in that two or more devices must in the possession of the user (or within the specified range of the user), and communicating with one another, in order for one of the paired devices to be in activated state.
