Methods and systems for network configuration

摘要

Network and device configuration systems and methods are described. In an embodiment, a first user interface configured to receive from a user configuration information regarding a first network provided. Program code stored in computer accessible memory is configured to generate a barcode that includes information related to the first network configuration information, wherein the barcode can be scanned by a device having a barcode scanner and a network interface to configure the network interface to access the first network.

1. A configurable computing system, comprising:
a computer device; no more than five keys; an antenna; an IEEE 802.11 network interface; an optical sensor; and non-transitory computer readable memory having program instructions stored thereon that when executed by the computing device cause the system to at least:
read a barcode or other computer readable visual indicia;utilize the information read from the barcode or other computer readable visual indicia to determine how to configure wireless network settings of the IEEE 802.11 network interface of the configurable computing system without a user having to manually key in the wireless network settings on the configurable computing system to enable the configurable computing system interface to access a local IEEE 802.11 wireless network,wherein the local IEEE 802.11 wireless network settings include a local network password needed to communicate over the local IEEE 802.11 wireless network;use the determined local wireless network settings of the local IEEE 802.11 wireless network interface of the configurable computing system to enable the configurable computing system interface to access the local IEEE 802.11 wireless network without the user having to manually key in the wireless network settings on the configurable computing system, wherein the wireless network settings are used to enable the configurable computing system to communicate over the local IEEE 802.11 wireless network of the user,wherein the configurable computing system does not have a display greater than ten inches diagonal.
