Virtual SSID and Firewall Rules for Automatic Router Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of connecting devices to a router is often complex and resource-intensive, lacking flexibility and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a computer processor that retrieves unique data from a wireless device, transmits it to a router, and generates a virtual SSID and preconfigured firewall rules, allowing for automatic connection through an authorization service, enabling a simple and flexible device-to-router connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional device connection methods are used, then devices can be connected to a router, but the process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring firewall rules and authentication credentials on the wireless device before connection. The device stores firewall rule sets and authentication information in advance, so when connection is needed, the device can automatically authenticate and establish connectivity without requiring manual configuration or lengthy setup procedures.
2Productivity
If traditional device connection methods are used, then devices can be connected to a router, but the process requires a large amount of resources
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless device performs self-service by automatically selecting and applying pre-configured firewall rules, autonomously authenticating with the router using stored credentials, and configuring its own network parameters. This eliminates the need for resource-intensive manual configuration processes and reduces the computational burden during connection establishment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional device connection methods are used, then devices can be connected to a router, but the process lacks flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic connection configuration where the wireless device can adaptively select from multiple pre-configured firewall rule sets based on the specific connection scenario. The device dynamically adjusts its connection parameters and authentication methods depending on the router type and network environment, providing flexibility without requiring complex real-time decision-making or user intervention.
Data Source
AI summary
A connection method is provided. The method includes retrieving by a data retrieval device, unique data comprising an identifier associated with a wireless device. The unique data is transmitted to a router transmitting an authorization request and a configuration request for a configuration change to an authorization service. The authorization request is presented to a user and in response the user transmits an authorization code to the authorization service. In response, the router generates a virtual SSID and preconfigured firewall rules based on the unique data and the wireless device is automatically connected to the router based on the virtual SSID and the preconfigured firewall rules.
