Network access

摘要

Disclosed is a user device comprising storage means and a network interface for connecting to a network via an access point. The user device also comprises a processor configured to execute a client. This client is operable to receive access data pertaining to the access point which is conditionally useable by the client. The client is further operable to determine that the client can use the received access data based on a detected current condition at the user device. In response to said determination, the client is operable to use the received access data to: (i) store access credentials of the access point in said storage means, and (ii) configure the user device to an automatic connection mode. When so configured, the user device is capable of automatically connecting to the network via the access point using the stored access credentials independently from the client thereafter.

1. A user device comprising:
storage means; a network interface for connecting to a network via an access point; and a processor configured to execute a client, said client configured to:
receive a card comprising access data pertaining to the access point, said access data being conditionally useable by the client;determine that the client can use the received access data based on a detected current condition at the user device; andin response to said determination, use the received access data to:
store access credentials of the access point in said storage means along with one or more access credentials of one or more other access points, andconfigure the user device to an automatic connection mode in which the user device is capable of automatically connecting to the network via the access point using the stored access credentials independently from the client thereafter;the client further configured to display the card and one or more other cards associated with the one or more other access points in a wallet to enable organization of the card and the one or more other cards, the display of the card including display of an image of the access data and display of dynamic content associated with the access point, the dynamic content comprising downloadable advertising information associated with the access point; and the processor further configured to execute a network manager to automatically connect to the network via the network interface in response to detecting the access point.
