Abstract: A method and communication device for assisting mobile data offloading and a mobile device are provided. An embodiment provides a method for assisting mobile data offloading. The method includes the following steps. In a mobile communication mode, a mobile communication signal is received by an auxiliary communication device for accordingly verifying whether to allow a sender of the mobile communication signal to be linked to the auxiliary communication device. If the verification passes, then the sender establishes a first communication link with the auxiliary communication device in the mobile communication mode. The network configuration information is sent to the sender through a first communication link, wherein the network configuration information is for activating the sender to enter the first wireless network mode in which network access is performed accordingly.

Abstract: A password input and verification method is provided to prevent the disclosing of the password from peeping. The method is easy to learn, transparent to the users, and requires no hardware change and only minor software modification. The method allows a user to enter a much longer string of characters when he or she is asked for the password. The user is then authenticated if the actual password is embedded as a whole anywhere within the input string. The method also provides a mechanism called prohibition key. A prohibition key is a pre-determined character that, when present in the user input string, the user is not authenticated regardless of whether the actual password is contained in the input string or not.

Abstract: A method for efficiently setting up a wireless local area network comprising one or more access points and one or more wireless client devices is provided. Unlike traditional approaches for setting up a wireless local area network, which involves repetitive manual configuration of every AP and wireless client device, the proposed method basically stores the relevant configuration information in a removable storage media during the configuration of an AP. The removable storage media then can be used to configure the other APs and the wireless client devices with very limited human intervention. The configuration effort and the possibility of human error are therefore reduced to the minimum.
