US 11,388,596 B2 · Secure transmittal of wireless local area network access codes

Abstract

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for encoding and transmitting access codes of a network to a computing device that is attempting to access the network. The method includes one or more processors identifying an audio command received by a first computing device. The method further includes generating a sound waveform that includes an access code of an access point, by encoding the access code into the sound waveform. The method further includes defining a sound power level of the sound waveform. The method further includes transmitting the sound waveform. The method further includes determining whether a second computing device receives the access code that is encoded in the sound waveform.
