A method of wireless communication locator station to be disposed at specific location includes: detecting rotation angle information of client-based portable device, carried or worn by user, according to specific wireless communication standard between wireless communication locator station and client-based portable device when client-based portable device is within signal range of wireless communication locator station; generating head pose direction estimation according to calculated rotation angle information; and when head pose direction estimation indicates that a user turns face towards wireless communication locator station, sending packet signal from wireless communication locator station to server-based portable device, successfully paired with and security-connected with client-based portable device, so that server-based portable device can transfer packet signal to client-based portable device after receiving packet signal.

A print apparatus registers information of the print apparatus in a server via an external access point based on an instruction provided via an operation screen of the print apparatus, obtains print data when an audio control device receives a print instruction by audio so that the server generates the print data, and executes a print process based on the obtained print data.

Devices, methods, and systems for physical contact detection for device pairing are described herein. One device includes a mechanism configured to detect physical contact between the device and a wireless device, a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to perform a pairing of the wireless device and the device only upon the mechanism detecting the physical contact between the device and the wireless device.

A plug-in network device is disclosed. The plug-in network device can be used in association with a network management system and an infrastructure network device. The plug-in network device includes two antenna arrays, one of which is up-facing and one of which is front-facing. The plug-in network device can achieve wireless communication with the infrastructure network device via the up-facing antenna array and provide network services to wireless stations through the front-facing antenna array. The network management system can manage both the infrastructure network device and the plug-in network device.

A communication device may accept an input of user authentication information, cause an output unit to output specific information obtained by using a public key in a case where authentication using the inputted user authentication information is successful. In a case where the authentication using the inputted user authentication information fails, the specific information is not outputted. The communication device may receive an authentication request in which the public key is used from a first external device, send an authentication response to the first external device, receive first connection information from the first external device, and establish a first wireless connection between the communication device and a second external device by using the first connection information.

Systems and methods are provided for providing, by a user equipment, a short message service (SMS) message to initiate Wi-Fi onboarding to a mobile network, receiving, by the user equipment, a binary SMS message including a request for a certificate signing request by a server, generating, by the user equipment, the certificate signing request based on the request for the certificate signing request of the binary SMS message, providing, by the user equipment, the certificate signing request to the mobile network, and receiving, by the user equipment, a binary SMS message including Wi-Fi login data based on the certificate signing request provided to the mobile network.

The invention relates to a method for managing exchanges of data between: —a probe (1) comprising a memory containing a probe digital certificate including a probe public key, —a terminal (2) comprising a memory containing a terminal digital certificate including a terminal public key, —a remote platform (3) configured to: .sup.∘deliver the probe digital certificate to the probe and .sup.∘deliver the terminal digital certificate to the terminal, characterised in that the method comprises the implementation of an authentication procedure consisting of the following steps:—a first step in which the probe verifies the identity of the terminal from the terminal digital certificate; —a second step in which the terminal verifies the identity of the probe from the probe digital certificate, and—a third step in which the probe, the terminal and the platform each generate an identical session key from the probe and terminal public keys.

An apparatus, method, and computer-readable recording medium perform client optimized onboarding in a wireless network. A network controller of a gateway device determines a first received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a new client device, receives a second RSSI of the new client device from each of one or more wireless extenders, and determines a strongest RSSI among the determined first RSSI and the received second RSSI from each of the one or more wireless extenders. The network controller of the gateway device receives an onboarding request with respect to any one or the gateway device and the one or more wireless extenders, and sends a command to proceed with an onboarding operation of the new client device to any one of the gateway device and the one or more wireless extenders having the strongest RSSI from the new client device.
