Guest Network Management System

Abstract

The invention is a guest network management system used in modems (1) that provide wireless internet (Wi-Fi) access in different areas such as homes, workplaces, offices, cafes and hotels, which manages the internet access of temporary users by limiting it according to criteria such as duration, connection speed and number of simultaneous connections, thus preventing unauthorized access and increasing network security by preventing temporary users from directly accessing the main network and authorized resources in corporate networks.

Description

1 TARIFF Guest Network Management System TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention relates generally to guest network management systems. The invention is particularly useful for wireless internet (Wi-Fi) in various settings such as homes, workplaces, offices, cafes, and hotels. Temporary 10 used in modems, routers or access points that provide (Fi) access. users' internet access can be measured by factors such as duration, connection speed, and the number of simultaneous connections. by managing by restricting according to criteria, thus creating temporary environments in corporate networks. by preventing unauthorized users from directly accessing the main network and authorized resources a guest network that prevents unauthorized access and enhances network security It is related to the management system. 15 STATE OF THE ART Today, guest networks cater to visitors in various settings such as homes, offices, hotels, cafes, and similar environments. 20 away from the main wireless network, enabling secure and controlled access to the internet. These are separately created networks. Their purpose is to provide internet access for guest users. while ensuring the security of devices and resources on the main network and preventing unauthorized access. to prevent and, when necessary, reduce users' access time, connection speed or usage. It is about limiting characteristics such as quantity. In current technology, guest networks are typically connected via modem, router, or access control. These points are configured through management interfaces. For example, in a business, By enabling the "Guest Network" feature from the device's control panel, separate networks can be created for guests. A Wi-Fi network and password can be created; internet access time, connection speed, or Certain restrictions can be set, such as the number of users. Users can access the network up to 30. usually via a common password, welcome / login page, or access code While this is provided, guests are prevented from accessing the business's main network. However, the existing Access to guest Wi-Fi networks is mostly through manual password sharing. Since it is provided, there are various problems in terms of security and ease of use. 2 This can happen. Shared passwords are usually permanent. Each user A specific access time cannot be defined for this, and when the connection time expires... Access cannot be automatically terminated. Quick and automatic connection via QR code. User-friendly access methods like these are not available on every system. Also, passwords... If changes are needed, manual operation can be performed by accessing the router management interface. 5 This needs to be done, as it affects both the management process and the user experience. It makes things more difficult. Based on research conducted under the known state of the art, US20230284024A1 Application number [number] was found. In this application, 10 applications were received through a single SSID. Creating and using different access levels for different users Guest users can access specific network resources based on their password / key. The restrictions are explained. Thus, guests are limited to selected resources such as the internet. While access is enabled, their access to other devices and resources on the main network is kept under control. It is kept confidential. However, here, using the QR code on the modem, you can access it quickly and without a password. 15 the link, the QR code dynamically representing the time-limited link key And features such as automatic code renewal are not included. The aforementioned The application focuses on access authorization and access zones, and includes a QR code. The user-centric, dynamic, and user-based connectivity approach has not been mentioned. As a result, improvements are being made to guest network management systems, therefore It will eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and provide solutions to existing systems. New structures are needed to bring about this. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION 25 The present invention meets the aforementioned requirements and overcomes all the disadvantages. with a guest network management system that eliminates and brings some additional advantages It is related. The main purpose of the invention is to provide wireless internet in various settings such as homes, workplaces, offices, cafes, and hotels. Used in modems, routers, or access points that provide (Wi-Fi) access, Temporary users' internet access duration, connection speed, and simultaneous connections by managing them by limiting them according to criteria such as number, thus creating temporary environments in corporate networks. 3 by preventing unauthorized users from directly accessing the main network and authorized resources a guest network that prevents unauthorized access and enhances network security The goal is to provide a management system. One purpose of the invention is to allow guest users to scan the QR code located on the modem. By scanning, you can quickly and easily access the internet without entering any password. The goal is to ensure connection. Another purpose of the invention is to restrict guest users' internet access for a specified period of time. The goal is to limit access and automatically terminate the connection when the time expires. 10 Another purpose of the invention is to allow guests to use the main Wi-Fi network without sharing the password with them. Secure internet access for guest users via a separate and isolated network. to provide. Another purpose of the invention is to analyze the QR code or the link represented within the QR code. by enabling the key to be automatically renewed at specific intervals, previous access The goal is to prevent the permanent use of their information. Another purpose of the invention is to improve guest users' connection time, internet speed, and the same 20 Access parameters such as the number of devices that can connect at the same time, modem interface or The aim is to enable easy identification via the mobile application. Another purpose of the invention is to display the QR code on the modem for a specific period of time. by ensuring it represents a valid dynamic connection switch, it allows 25 to the guest network. The goal is to provide a secure, controlled, and user-friendly access method. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. And thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures, it becomes clearer. This will be understood as such. Therefore, the evaluation should also be based on these forms and details. 30 This should be done taking the explanation into consideration. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES 4 The best way to utilize the advantages of the existing invention, together with its structure and additional elements. For understanding, it should be evaluated together with the figures explained below. is necessary.

In a sample application of the guest network management system which is the subject of the invention, the modem (1) temporary and main wireless network by guest network module (2) working on it It is activated by creating an isolated guest Wi-Fi network. The guest network requires 20 GB. The connection key is dynamically generated by the QR code generation module (3). it is converted into a QR code and displayed on the modem (1) via the QR code screen (4). It is displayed in a way that is accessible to users. Guest user, smartphone When the camera or the relevant application scans the QR code, the connection information is used. You will be automatically redirected to the guest Wi-Fi network. Once the connection is established, 25 The time counter is started by the time management module (5) and the user is notified in advance. Internet access is provided for a specified period; the connection is terminated when the period expires. It terminates automatically.
