Actually, I don't think "shoogle" mentioned the pairing-shaking security
idea.  I thought that they were only creating non visual user interfaces
to things like number of SMSs and battery charge.  The main similarity
is shaking, which maracas and rainsticks both clearly have prior art on
these ideas.

um, is anyone that's replied on this thread a member of the University

it has obviously already been invented, which means that disclosure
arguments are rendered moot by prior art.  Moreover, trying to patent
something that someone else invented is theft of intellectual
property... preventing this is one of the reasons the GPL exists.  If
you want to go forward on this, check with the authors(see below for
contact information) they'd probably be delighted to have community help
in developing it.
