CONFIGURING WIRELESS ACCESSORY DEVICES

摘要

This document describes, inter alia, techniques for configuring or setting up a wireless device. As an example of the features described herein, a first wireless device may be used to configure a second wireless device as follows: the first wireless device may detect that the second wireless device is available and is configurable; the first wireless device may connect to the second wireless device and transmit configuration information to the second wireless device, where the configuration information includes credentials that may be used to access a wireless network (e.g., a password to access a Wi-Fi network); the first wireless device and the second wireless device may then both connect to the wireless network, using the credentials; once both devices are connected to the wireless network, the first wireless device may verify that the second wireless device has been correctly configured.

主权项

1. A method for configuring a second wireless device by a first wireless device, the method comprising the first wireless device:
obtaining information for the second wireless device via a first wireless network; determining that the second wireless device is in a configurable state based on the information; communicating configuration information to the second wireless device via the first wireless network, the configuration information including credentials for connecting to a second wireless network; connecting to the second wireless network using the credentials; and communicating with the second wireless device via the second wireless network.
