COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148918 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The communication apparatus described in this patent application is designed to connect to a wireless network and register other communication devices to the network. Here are the key points:

  • The communication apparatus has an authentication unit that sets a communication parameter for connecting to a wireless network and performs authentication processing with a base station.
  • The authentication process registers the communication apparatus as a management apparatus that can connect other devices to the wireless network.
  • The apparatus includes a setting unit that uses code information captured through imaging to set the communication parameter for another communication device.
  • The registration unit then executes the registration process to register the other communication device to the base station as a management apparatus.
  • The registration is based on the condition that the communication parameter has been set to the other communication device by the setting unit.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in smart homes or smart offices to easily connect and register new devices to the wireless network.
  • It can simplify the process of adding new IoT devices to a network by automatically setting the communication parameters based on captured code information.

Problems Solved:

  • Traditional methods of connecting and registering devices to a wireless network can be complex and time-consuming.
  • This technology streamlines the process by automating the setting of communication parameters and registration.

Benefits:

  • Simplifies the process of connecting and registering devices to a wireless network, saving time and effort.
  • Reduces the need for manual configuration of communication parameters, making it easier for non-technical users to set up new devices.
  • Enhances the security of the network by performing authentication processing during the registration of devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus includes an authentication unit that sets a communication parameter for connecting to a wireless network, and executes authentication processing, with a base station, for registering the communication apparatus to the base station that forms the wireless network, as a management apparatus that is allowed to connect another apparatus to the wireless network, a setting unit that, based on information acquired from code information captured through imaging, sets the communication parameter to another communication apparatus corresponding to the code information, and a registration unit that executes registration processing for registering the other communication apparatus to the base station as the management apparatus, based on at least a condition that the communication parameter is set to the other communication apparatus by the setting unit.
