Wireless Terminal Auto-Connection via Stored SSID Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manual setting of wireless LAN connections requires users to scan all channels for access points, select encryption modes, and input encrypted keys, which is cumbersome, especially when dealing with multiple SSIDs and passwords, and existing automation techniques do not facilitate the input of connection setting information effectively.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication terminal with an information reader, storage, and controller that reads and stores connection setting information, including multiple access point identifiers, and uses these to automatically set wireless communication connections with access points, utilizing an identifier informed by the access point and pre-stored connection settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual setting of wireless LAN connection is performed, then connection can be established, but user effort and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores connection setting information including SSIDs and passwords in advance in the terminal device. When connecting to a wireless LAN, the terminal automatically retrieves and uses the pre-stored connection information, eliminating the need for users to manually input settings during connection establishment.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device automatically performs the connection establishment process by selecting appropriate SSIDs and applying stored passwords without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously completing the wireless LAN connection using pre-configured information.
2Loss of information
If all channels are scanned to search for access points, then complete access point information is obtained, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs channel scanning and stores access point information including multiple SSIDs in advance. When connection is needed, the pre-scanned and stored information is directly utilized, eliminating the need to repeat the time-consuming scanning process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple SSIDs and passwords are managed manually, then comprehensive connection options are available, but profile creation and management become complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple SSIDs and their corresponding passwords into a single integrated connection setting information record. The terminal stores and manages multiple access point identifiers and authentication credentials together, allowing automatic selection and application without requiring separate manual configuration for each network.
