DEVICE PAIRING IN A LOCAL NETWORK
FIG1B is a simplified block diagram of a communication system for device pairing in a local network in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure
Turning to FIG1B, FIG1B is a simplified block diagram of a communication system 100b for device pairing in a local network in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. Communication system 100b can include local network 110b. Local network 110b can include cloudlet 130. Cloudlet 130 can include local network pairing module 132. Local network pairing module 132 can include local temporal pairing code generation module 134.

['1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: receive, from an electronic device, a request to pair the electronic device (102) and a local network device (104a); determine whether the local network device (104a) and the electronic device (102) are present in the same local network at the same time by determining whether: (a) an SSID or BSSID for the local network of the electronic device (102) matches an SSID or BSSID respectively for the local network of the local network device (104a); and (b) a temporal pairing code, TPC, is not expired, the said TPC received by the electronic device (102) from the local network device (104a); and based on a determination that the local network device (104a) and the electronic device (102) are present in the same local network at the same time because the SSIDs or BSSIDs match and that the TPC is not expired, allow the pairing.']
