  • Sending digital data visually using mobile display and camera sensor
    Patent number: 9015806
    Abstract: A system for establishing a connection between a first device and a wireless network includes a first control module, located on the first device, that receives encoded digital data. The encoded digital data corresponds to a plurality of images displayed sequentially on a display of a second device. Each of the plurality of images corresponds to a different portion of the encoded digital data. A decoder module, located on the first device, converts the encoded digital data into configuration data. The configuration data includes at least one of an identifier of the wireless network, an encryption key associated with the wireless network, and a password associated with the wireless network. The first control module uses the configuration data to establish the connection with the wireless network.
