ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DEVICE-PROVISIONING IN WIRELESS NETWORK, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482577 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DEVICE-PROVISIONING IN WIRELESS NETWORK, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device is described that can be configured to receive a configuration request frame from an external electronic device. The configuration request frame includes identification information for identifying a registrant access point (AP). The electronic device then transmits a configuration response frame to the external electronic device, which includes first channel information indicating a channel used by the electronic device in scanning the external electronic device. The electronic device performs scanning through its communication module based on the first channel information and the identification information to acquire connection information about the external electronic device. Finally, the electronic device connects to the external electronic device based on the acquired connection information.

• The electronic device can receive a configuration request frame from an external device and respond with a configuration response frame.
• The configuration response frame includes information about the channel used by the electronic device for scanning.
• The electronic device performs scanning to acquire connection information about the external device.
• The electronic device can connect to the external device based on the acquired connection information.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be used in setting up and configuring wireless access points.
• It can be applied in IoT devices to establish connections between devices.
• It can be used in home automation systems to configure and connect devices.

Problems Solved

• Simplifies the process of configuring and connecting electronic devices.
• Eliminates the need for manual configuration of access points.
• Reduces the complexity and time required for device setup.

Benefits

• Streamlines the setup process for electronic devices.
• Improves user experience by automating configuration and connection.
• Reduces the potential for errors in device setup.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module and a processor functionally connected to the communication module. The processor can be configured to receive, from an external electronic device, through a communication module, a configuration request frame including identification information for identifying a registrant access point (AP), in order to configure the external electronic device as the registrant AP, transmit, to the external electronic device, through the communication module, a configuration response frame including first channel information for indicating a channel used by the electronic device in the scanning of the external electronic device, based on the configuration request frame, acquire connection information about the external electronic device by performing scanning through the communication module, based on the first channel information and the identification information, and connect to the external electronic device through the communication module based on the connection information about the external electronic device.
