This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 100117612, filed May 19, 2011. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention generally relates to a method for accessing a network, and more particularly, to a method for accessing a wireless network.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a wireless network accessing method according to an embodiment of the invention.
FIGS. 2A-2C are diagrams of a user interface of a portable electronic device.
Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a wireless network accessing method according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless network accessing method in the present embodiment is adaptable to a portable electronic device without a browser (not shown), such as a digital camera. FIGS. 2A-2C are diagrams of a user interface of a portable electronic device. Below, the flowchart in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A-2C.
First, in step S110, a wireless access point (WAP) is connected to. A user can turn on a wireless network of the portable electronic device and activate a group sharing function. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the user activates the group sharing function, the portable electronic device connects to a predetermined web address “www.xxx.com” to allow the user to upload photos to a webpage corresponding to foregoing web address. The components at the bottom right corner of the user interface represent a “wireless network” state and an “authentication” state. Herein the wireless network is turned on but the authentication is not yet done.
