Computer-implemented method for connecting a vehicle to a wireless local network of a workshop

A vehicle, comprising:

• a camera configured to scan an encrypted visual representation of credentials associated with a wireless network configuration of a wireless local network of a workshop, the encrypted visual representation being encoded into a visual format, when said encrypted visual representation is presented to the camera;
• and
• a vehicle control unit configured to:
• decrypt the encrypted visual representation scanned by the camera using a key corresponding to the encrypted visual representation to obtain said credentials;
• and
• submit the decrypted credentials to a control unit for allowing the vehicle to be connected to the wireless local network of the workshop.

A control unit for controlling the connecting of a vehicle to a wireless local network of a workshop, the control unit configured to:

• identify at least one wireless local network configuration of the wireless local network, said wireless local network configuration being associated with credentials for using said wireless local network;
• associate at least one validity parameter to said credentials in order to allow limited accessibility for the vehicle to said wireless local network;
• generate an encrypted visual representation of said credentials comprising encrypting the credentials using a key and encoding the encrypted credentials into a visual format, thereby enabling the generated encrypted visual representation to be presented to a camera of the vehicle and decrypted using the corresponding key to obtain said credentials;
• upon receipt of a connection request including the decrypted credentials from the vehicle, check the at least one validity parameter to determine that the credentials are still valid for the vehicle;
• and
• upon determination that the credentials are still valid, allow the vehicle to connect to the wireless local network of the workshop.
