Abstract
Method and system for user initiated connectivity to a communication network. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention describe a method of connection to a communication network. The method discloses the acknowledgment of an initiation of a communication interface by a user at a first electronic device. The communication interface provides network connectivity information for the first electronic device. The network connectivity information is necessary for establishing a communication path to other electronic devices through a communication network. Further, the communication interface assists the user in establishing a communication path through the communication network to a second electronic device with known network connectivity information.
Claims36
A communication system comprising:
- a communication network;
- and
- a plurality of electronic devices coupled to said communication network, each of said plurality of electronic devices including a selector for initiating a user initiated communication interface that provides network connectivity information necessary for establishing communication paths to other electronic devices coupled to said communication network.
A method of connection comprising:
- providing a communication interface on an electronic device coupled to a communication network that when initiated by a user provides pertinent network connectivity information necessary for establishing communication paths with other devices coupled to said communication network.
A method of connection comprising:
- a) at a first electronic device, acknowledging the initiation of a communication interface by a user, said first electronic device coupled to a communication network;
- b) providing network connectivity information for said first electronic device, said network connectivity information necessary for establishing communication paths to other electronic devices coupled to said communication network.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable memory coupled to said processor and containing program instructions that, when executed, implement a method of connection comprising:
- providing a communication interface on an electronic device coupled to a communication network that when initiated by a user provides pertinent network connectivity information necessary for establishing communication paths with other devices coupled to said communication network.
