Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for pairing devices such as control devices and user devices, by determining location information relating to one or more of the control devices and the user devices. Location information can be used to identify at least one user device proximate to the control device. The method and system then identifies a selected user device to be paired with the control device. The control device is then paired with the selected user device.
