Abstract

See full text

A simplified way of connecting electronic devices with limited user input capabilities to wireless network routers. A smart device with a user interface and input capabilities is connected to a Wifi router and remembers the Wifi variables used for the connection. It is then paired with the electronic device and transfers the Wifi connection variables to the electronic device. The smart device with the first software program has a user interface that facilitates the user initially connecting with a local Wifi router. The connection variables used during the connection process are saved by the smart device. The user may then connect the smart device to the electronic device via a paired communications link and the connection variables for the router are passed over the link. The electronic device executing the second software module connects to the router using the connection variables it received from the smart device.
