INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107309 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a control method for an information processing apparatus connected to a wireless local area network (LAN) router. The method involves determining whether the LAN router corresponds to an enterprise authentication method or a personal authentication method, and transmitting connection information to a communication apparatus based on this determination.

  • The control method involves receiving a predetermined operation and determining the authentication method used by the LAN router.
  • Information related to the authentication method and connection information for the LAN router is transmitted to a communication apparatus.
  • The connection information is based on whether the LAN router corresponds to an enterprise or personal authentication method.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries where secure wireless network connections are required, such as corporate environments, government agencies, and healthcare facilities.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the need for efficient and secure authentication methods for wireless network connections, ensuring that only authorized users can access the network.

Benefits

- Enhanced security for wireless network connections - Simplified authentication process for users - Flexibility to support both enterprise and personal authentication methods

Potential Commercial Applications

- Enterprise network security solutions - Wireless communication devices and systems - Network infrastructure and equipment providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing methods for managing wireless network connections and authentication protocols in enterprise environments.

What are the specific technical details of the authentication methods used in this technology?

The specific technical details of the authentication methods used in this technology are not provided in the abstract.

How does this technology compare to existing methods for controlling information processing apparatus connected to wireless networks?

The abstract does not provide a direct comparison to existing methods for controlling information processing apparatus connected to wireless networks. Further information on the unique features and advantages of this technology compared to existing methods would be needed to evaluate its effectiveness and potential impact in the market.


Original Abstract Submitted

a control method for controlling an information processing apparatus, includes: receiving a predetermined operation; and based on that a wireless local area network (lan) router to which the information processing apparatus is connected at a time of the reception of the predetermined operation corresponds to an enterprise method which is an authentication method using an authentication server conforming to ieee 802.1x protocol, transmitting, to a communication apparatus, information related to the enterprise method and connection information for connecting to the wireless lan router corresponding to the enterprise method or based on that the wireless lan router to which the information processing apparatus is connected at the time of the reception of the predetermined operation corresponds to a personal method which is an authentication method not using the authentication server, transmitting, to the communication apparatus, connection information for connecting to the wireless lan router corresponding to the personal method.
