Abstract

System and method for creating multiple wireless networks are provided. A user device transmits a first device identifier to a server. Based on the first device identifier, the server transmits a first wireless network identifier and a first password to a first communication device that creates a first wireless network, which is accessed by the user device. Further, the user device transmits the first device identifier to the server. The second communication device receives the first wireless network identifier and first password from the server, and creates the first wireless network, which is automatically accessed by the user device. Further, another user device transmits a second device identifier to the server. The second communication device receives a second wireless network identifier and a first password from the server. The second communication device creates a second wireless network, which is automatically accessed by another user device.

Dependent claims

A method for creating multiple wireless networks, the method comprising:

transmitting, by at least one of a first communication device and a first user device, a first device identifier to a server;
receiving a first wireless network identifier by the first communication device from the server, wherein the first wireless network identifier is associated with the first device identifier of the first user device and is generated by the server based on the first device identifier;
receiving a first password by the first communication device from the server, wherein the first password is associated with at least one of the first wireless network identifier and the first device identifier of the first user device and is generated by the server based on the first device identifier;
creating a first wireless network by the first communication device based on at least the first wireless network identifier and the first password, whereby the first user device connects to the first wireless network using the first wireless network identifier and the first password;
receiving the first wireless network identifier and the first password from the server by a second communication device, wherein the server receives the first device identifier of the first user device from at least one of the second communication device and the first user device, and transmits the first wireless network identifier and the first password to the second communication device based on the first device identifier of the first user device;
re-creating the first wireless network by the second communication device based on the first wireless network identifier and the first password, after the first wireless network created by the first communication device is disconnected, whereby the first user device re-connects to the first wireless network created by the second communication device using the first wireless network identifier and the first password;
receiving a second wireless network identifier and a second password from the server by the second communication device, wherein the server receives a second device identifier of a second user device from at least one of the second communication device and the second user device, and transmits the second wireless network identifier and the second password to the second communication device based on the second device identifier of the second user device;
and
creating a second wireless network by the second communication device based on the second wireless network identifier and the second password, whereby the second user device connects to the second wireless network created by the second communication device using the second wireless network identifier and the second password.

A method for creating multiple wireless networks, the method comprising:

receiving a first device identifier from at least one of a first user device and a first communication device by a server, wherein the first device identifier is associated with the first user device;
generating a first wireless network identifier and a first password by the server based on the first device identifier associated with the first user device;
transmitting the first wireless network identifier and the first password to the first communication device by the server;
instructing the first communication device to create the first wireless network based on at least the first wireless network identifier and the first password by the server, whereby the first user device connects to the first wireless network using the first wireless network identifier and the first password stored in a memory of the first user device;
receiving the first device identifier from at least one of the first user device and a second communication device by the server;
transmitting the first wireless network identifier and the first password to the second communication device by the server;
instructing the second communication device to re-create the first wireless network based on the first wireless network identifier and the first password, after the first wireless network created by the first communication device is disconnected, whereby the first user device re-connects to the first wireless network created by the second communication device using the first wireless network identifier and the first password stored in the memory of the first user device;
receiving a second device identifier from at least one of a second user device and the second communication device by the server;
transmitting a second wireless network identifier and a second password to the second communication device by the server;
and
instructing the second communication device to create a second wireless network based on the second wireless network identifier and the second password by the server, whereby the second user device connects to the second wireless network using the second wireless network identifier and the second password stored in a memory of the second user device.
