Abstract
A communication system includes a communication device and a communication server. A network of the communication system may include multiple access measures. The communication device is capable of connecting the network using multiple access measures and a server connects to the network. A set network-access measure is used to communicate with the server and the server provides information to the communication device such as the availability of various network-access measures, authentication-key information and communication software for the communication device to use.
Claims20
A communication system that utilizes a plurality of network-access measures comprising:
- a communication device operable to connect the network using at least one of the multiple network-access measures;
- a server operable to connect to the communication device to provide the communication device with an available network-access measure for a location of the communication device.
A communication system comprising:
- a network including a plurality of access measures;
- a communication device operable to connect the network using the multiple network-access measures by obtaining communication software programs;
- and
- a server connected to the network to provide the communication software to the communication device.
A communication system that utilizes a plurality of network-access measure, the communication system comprising:
- a communication device operable to use at least one of the plurality of network-access measures;
- an information server operable to connect to the communication device to provide information about available network-access measures;
- and
- a download server operable to connect to the communication device.
