Multi-Band Client Bridging for Single-Trigger AP Pairing

The patent applies preliminary action by performing protocol interaction processes on all frequency bands simultaneously before determining the AP's bridge type. The client activates protocol interaction on multiple frequency bands at once, then based on the interaction results, determines whether the AP is single-frequency or multi-frequency. This allows the client to have already established connections on compatible frequency bands before the determination is complete, eliminating the need for repeated trigger operations and reducing overall bridging time while maintaining full compatibility.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the frequency bands into multiple independent interaction channels. The client activates protocol interaction processes on each frequency band separately and simultaneously, allowing each band to be processed independently. After completion, the client determines the AP's bridge type based on which frequency bands successfully completed interaction. This segmented approach enables the client to achieve both fast interaction on individual bands and comprehensive multi-frequency bridging capability by combining results from all bands.

The patent applies continuity of useful action by maintaining protocol interaction processes active on all frequency bands simultaneously without interruption. Instead of waiting for time delays between determination steps, the client keeps all interaction processes running in parallel, continuously gathering information about AP compatibility across all frequency bands. This continuous parallel operation achieves accurate AP type determination while maximizing bridging efficiency, as the determination is based on complete interaction results rather than sequential waiting periods.
