Router Settings Authorization Using Physical Device Interaction

The patent introduces a mobile device as an intermediary authorization mechanism. Instead of requiring users to directly input complex codes on the router, the system uses a mobile device to capture an image of the code and transmit it wirelessly to the router. This intermediary approach maintains security verification while eliminating the need for users to manually enter difficult-to-memorize codes, thus resolving the contradiction between security and ease of operation.

The patent replaces the mechanical interaction of manually typing complex codes into physical buttons with an automated optical and wireless communication system. The mobile device captures the code image and automatically transmits it to the router via wireless communication, eliminating the need for users to manually input complex sequences. This substitution reduces the operational complexity burden on users while maintaining the security function of code verification.

The system performs preliminary authorization by capturing and storing the authorization code in advance through mobile device imaging. The code is retrieved once and stored for subsequent use, eliminating the need for repeated physical retrieval of the code from the router. This preliminary action maintains security verification while significantly reducing the time loss associated with repeatedly accessing and re-entering the code.
