Abstract
A first device includes a processor and instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to configure the first device to receive network credentials; accept a connection request from a second device to connect to the first device; obtain the network credentials from the second device; configure the first device to connect to a third device subsequent to obtaining the network credentials; and transmit a request to connect to the third device, where request includes the network credentials.
Claims20
A first device including a processor and instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- configure the first device according to a first configuration or a second configuration, wherein the first configuration configures the first device to be in a station mode when a second device is in an access point mode, and wherein the second configuration configures the first device to be in the access point mode when the second device is in the station mode;
- accept a connection request from the second device to connect to the first device;
- obtain the network credentials transmitted by the second device;
- subsequent to obtaining the network credentials, configure the first device to connect to a third device;
- transmit a request to the third device to connect to the third device, wherein the request comprises the network credentials;
- and
- receive, via the third device, a command to control the first device.
A method, comprising:
- initiating, at a first device, a first mode for receiving network credentials, wherein the first mode is a station mode when a second device is in an access point mode, and wherein the first mode is the access point mode when the second device is in the station mode;
- connecting the first device to the second device;
- receiving the network credentials from the second device;
- shifting, after receiving the network credentials, the first device to a second mode that enables a connection with a third device;
- and
- connecting to the third device via a request to connect to the third device, wherein the request includes the network credentials.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to:
- configure a first device according to a configuration selected from a set of configurations consisting of a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the first configuration configures the first device to be in a station mode when a second device is in an access point mode, and wherein the second configuration configures the first device to be in the access point mode when the second device is in the station mode;
- receive, at the first device, network credentials from the second device;
- subsequent to receipt of the network credentials, configure the first device to connect to a third device;
- and
- transmit a request to the third device to connect to the third device, wherein the request includes the network credentials.
