Systems and methods for configuring industrial devices through a secured wireless side channel may include a compute device. The compute device may have primary communication circuitry configured to communicate through a network and side channel communication circuitry configured to communicate through a wireless side channel that is different from the network. The compute device may additionally include circuitry configured to obtain, via the wireless side channel, configuration data indicative of a configuration for one or more operations of an industrial device of an industrial process plant. Additionally the circuitry may be configured to configure, in response to obtaining the configuration data, the one or more operations of the industrial device.

An application, executed by a User Equipment (“UE”), may receive an identifier, which may be used to monitor Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) associated with the UE. Such KPIs may be monitored in conjunction with execution of the application, such as at times that the application sends and/or receives traffic. The KPIs may be associated with sensor data, resources, and/or other features or functionality of the UE. The UE may obtain an identifier associated with the application and/or the UE from a KPI monitoring system of some embodiments, may obtain user consent to monitor and/or report KPIs associated with the application, and may provide such KPIs to the KPI monitoring system in conjunction with the identifier. The KPI monitoring system may generate aggregated KPI information, associated with the application, based on the KPIs received from the UE and/or KPIs received from one or more other sources.

Disclosed are a terminal verification method, an AP device, a terminal and a system, wherein the AP device is an encrypted AP device. The method comprises: receiving a connection request sent by a first terminal, wherein the connection request comprises identification information of the first terminal; querying an authorization list according to the identification information of the first terminal, wherein the authorization list includes identification information of terminals located within a preset password-free range; and returning an authorization response to the first terminal when the authorization list includes the identification information of the first terminal, wherein the authorization response is used for instructing the first terminal to establish a network connection with the AP device. The AP device does not need to verify a first terminal located within a password-free range, thereby reducing the number of first terminals that require identity verification within a WLAN coverage range, reducing the resource consumption of the identity verification for the AP device, and enabling the use of a WLAN to be more convenient.

A vehicle information communication system includes a center apparatus and a vehicle apparatus that includes a group of electronic control units (ECUs) and that sends vehicle configuration information including configuration information on the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the center apparatus via wireless communications. The center apparatus performs a first determination of whether the vehicle configuration information received from the vehicle apparatus matches approved-configuration information registered in an approved-configuration database, and performs a second determination of whether software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle exists in an update database. When both the first and second determinations are true, the center apparatus sends the software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the vehicle apparatus via the wireless communications.

The present invention provides a wireless communication method of an access point. The wireless communication method comprises the steps of: establishing a cache table comprising a plurality of reference MAC and corresponding PMKs and reference PMKIDs; receiving an association request from a station; reading a MAC address of the station and a PMKID from the association request; if the MAC address of the station and the PMKID do not match items of the cache table, performing a calculation on the PMKID to obtain an original PMKID; determining if the original PMKID matches any one of the reference PMKIDs within the cache table; and if the original PMKID matches one reference PMKID within the cache table, determining that the reference MAC recorded in the cache table and the MAC address belong to the same station.

A wireless connection system executes wireless connection between an information terminal of a user and a display device installed in environment. In a case where an information terminal existing in the vicinity thereof is detected, the display device displays device ID information related to authentication for wireless connection with the detected information terminal (or an image obtained by coding it) on a display screen. The information terminal confirms whether the device ID information read from the display screen match device ID information of an own device or not, and establishes wireless connection using an authentication ID for wireless connection with the display device after matching is confirmed. The display device establishes wireless connection with the information terminal using an authentication ID.
