SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURATION OF NETWORK-CAPABLE APPLIANCES

摘要

A controlling device is used to configure a target device for wireless network communications through use of a setup wizard. The setup wizard is used to obtain information required to perform communications on a wireless network via a wireless network router and a digital representation of the information obtained through use of the setup wizard is provided to the target device via use of the controlling device. The target device will use the digital representation of the information to configure itself for wireless network communications.

主权项

1. A smart device having a memory in which is stored instruction which, when executed by a processing device of the smart device, assist in configuring a first device for wireless network communications with a second device, the instructions performing steps comprising:
receiving by a first receiving system of the smart device via a first communications link a first communication from the second device, the first communication comprising a data representative of a first information required to exchange communications with the second device via a second communications link and a data representative of a second information required to at least issue communications to the first device via a third communications link; using the second information to configure a transmission system of the smart device to issue communications to the first device via the third communications link; and causing the configured transmission system of the smart device to issue a second communication to the first device via the third communications link, the second communication comprising the data representative of the first information required to exchange communications with the second device via the second communications link whereupon the first device will use the first information required to exchange communications with the second device to configure itself to exchange communications with the second device via the second communications link.
