  • Method and system in a computer-based system for providing access to services associated with different access points
    Patent number: 6269395
    Abstract: A computer program and computer-based system provide a user interface listing services associated with one or more access points or service providers. If a user selects a service associated with a first access point, the program, without further input from the user, connects with the access point, provides the access point with the user's password and user ID, if necessary, as well as access point specific network configuration parameters and launches the selected service. If the user then selects another service associated with the same access point, the program, without further input from the user, launches the other service. If the user selects a service associated with a second access point, if a second communication link is available, the program, without further input from the user, connects with the second access point, provides any necessary password, user ID and network configuration parameters to the access point and launches the service.
