sorry, missed some of the topic shift, but again, there's that youtube video posted previously showing something extremely similar<br><br>It's also interesting that this could work more like a pre-shared key... we don't have to use asynchronous crypto since both devices could generate the same key off of the "shake pattern"
<br><br>the challenge in doing this is determining when the "shake" starts to get everything synchronized<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/3/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Randall Mason</b> <<a href="mailto:lists@mason.ch">

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 of Glasgow team that developed the software(shoogle)? I'm guessing not. 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.
