Operating method for a wireless recreation system

Abstract

An operating method for a wireless recreation system is described. A recreation user can log on to a recreation network server located in a wireless network environment using a portable wireless apparatus. Afterward, the user can download audio or video data from the mentioned server, or send an instant message thereby, or play an online game anywhere. Following steps illustrates the operating method after switching the portable wireless recreation device on. First, a wireless module built into the wireless recreation device is activated. After searching for a nearby wireless station, a set network address is allocated. When a link between the wireless recreation device and the recreation server is established, the user can select recreation content from a recreation menu. Lastly, the user starts performing the recreation content after downloading the required objects from the server.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an operating method for a wireless recreation system and, more particularly, to a portable wireless device used by a user to link a wireless recreation platform to a global wireless network environment. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] When a wireless receive / transmit module is incorporated into a wireless device, such as a notebook having a wireless network card, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a cellular phone or another mobile media device, the wireless device can perform wireless transmission or other related services within the range of a wireless station. Nevertheless, even though wireless devices are widely used, there are still many places the WLAN cannot reach since the “hot spots” are not widely dispersed. [0005] Furthermore, if a user desires to surf the Internet, download shared media content, send an instant message, or play an on-line game for example, a ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014] Within the recreation system, the operating environment of the wireless recreation system is a global wireless network area, and linking software is installed in the wireless recreation device. Furthermore, the wireless recreation device will be allotted a network address or a hostname by an automatic address allotment mechanism of the wireless station. The link established from the wire

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, even though wireless devices are widely used, there are still many places the WLAN cannot reach since the “hot spots” are not widely dispersed.

A conventional portable wireless device, such as a PDA or a cellular phone, can be used to link to the Internet if a user needs to use the recreation service in a location with a WLAN signal, but it is still inconvenient if there is no wireless signal somehow or not enough hot spots that allow wireless connectivity.

Moreover, network connection fees and bandwidth are two major drawbacks of the conventional using method, and problems associated with transferring between wireless stations is still an issue for on-line game playing or instant messaging.

The broadcast channel is only occupied when network services are processing, but otherwise it will be unoccupied.

In view of the prior art shown in FIG. 1, the prior art is inadequate as the WLAN and the games or other resources built into the mobile device are limited; either a global wireless network area or widespread hot spots are necessary to provide a connection to a recreation server.

The game server mentioned in the embodiment of FIG. 2 only provides one-way game downloading services, and the server doesn't provide an interactive game service for multiple users.
