Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration of an ad-hoc radio network using a portable media device. SOLUTION: The portable media device capable of performing computer reading is used for transmitting a network setting of the ad-hoc radio network so as to simplify works for configuring the device relating to the ad-hoc radio network. A configuration program of starting a computer helps a user when producing the network setting including security, incorporates the network setting in an XML file, and writes the file into the portable media device. The portable media device is connected to a second device which joins to the ad-hoc radio network. The second device is automatically configured to join to the ad-hoc radio network using the network setting on the portable media device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for facilitating automatic wireless network detection. SOLUTION: A wireless network client can automatically detect the "type" of a network (e.g., method of authentication and encryption) without requiring input from the user. For example, unencrypted network, WEP encrypted network requiring a WEP key, WPA encrypted network requiring a pre-shared key, an IEEE 802.1x enabled network supporting WPA and/or an IEEE 802.1x enabled network not supporting WPA. In a wireless network detection system having a connection component and a detection component, the connection component facilitates connection of a client system to at least one of a plurality of wireless networks. The detection component identifies a type of an available wireless network. Identification can be performed based upon information received in an information element and/or repeated probing of the wireless network beacon. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a XML schema for a network device constitution. SOLUTION: A constitution setting file is generated by using an extensible markup language (XML) schema. A wireless constitution XML schema defines a XML file for constituting wireless network setting on a wireless device. A wide area network (WAN) constitution schema defines the XML file for constituting a WAN device. A local area network (LAN) constitution schema defines the XML file for constituting a LAN device. A broadband modem constitution schema defines the XML file for constituting a broadband modem device. A device constitution schema defines the XML file for reporting the constitution of the device.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for simplified creation of, connection to, and termination from an ad hoc wireless network. Graphical user interfaces are used to guide users though creation and joining ad hoc network. The option to share one user's Internet connection with the entire ad hoc network is also described. The ad hoc networks described can provide some managed services traditionally unavailable in ad hoc networks, such as IP address assignment and name resolution services. The ad hoc networks can be created with termination criteria, such that a computer's connection to the ad hoc network is automatically terminated and previous network configuration settings are restored when one or a combination of termination criteria are met.
Abstract:
A computer-readable portable media device (226) is used for transferring network settings for an ad hoc wireless network to simply the task of configuring devices for the ad hoc wireless network. A configuration program on an initiating computer (212) assists a user in creating the network settings, including a security key, and incorporates the network settings in an XML file and writes the file in to the portable media device (226). The portable media device is then attached to a second device (214) that is to join the ad hoc wireless network. The second device is automatically configured using the network settings on the portable media device (226) for joining the ad hoc wireless network.
