Embodiment Construction

[0045] What are the challenges of making connected devices? Some of the problems that vendors (e.g. designers, manufacturers) experience when they try to create connected devices are:

[0046] 1. Wireless design: In order for a wireless device to have good performance, manufacturers need to select the appropriate wireless chipset, solve RF design issues (antenna matching, power supply quality, etc.), design the antenna, and then target the device to which they want to sell Every country, through costly wireless approval tests.

[0047] Many of the best-performing wireless chips are designed specifically for use in mobile phones, so can be very small and difficult to work with (such as a 0.4mm pitch BGA), and putting these wireless chips on the PCB of any given arbitrary device would be extremely difficult. Substantially increases manufacturing and assembly costs.

[0048] Some vendors offer wireless modules that integrate wireless circuitry and antennas. These pre-approved ...

Abstract

System and method of interfacing arbitrary non-network connected devices to wireless computer networks. The invention provides an optically configurable wireless communications module, in either fixed or removable formats, with wireless (e.g. WiFi) network connectivity. The module also has a programmable arbitrary device controller, associated software, and at least the combination of the arbitrary device and the module also provides a unique ID code. A software token assisted method may be used to associate the unique ID code with appropriate control software and this association stored in network server memory. The invention also uses an internet-based service and a local optical programmer to configure the module's wireless network configuration. Once connectivity is established, the module may upload its unique ID code to the server and receive appropriate arbitrary device control code from the server. Portable version modules may be swapped between arbitrary devices at will, and will automatically configure themselves.
