Patent number: 9510130Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure enables an access point (AP) to conveniently provision multiple wireless devices. In an embodiment, the AP may normally operate in a secure mode to disregard non-secure provisioning requests from wireless devices. However, upon receipt of a request to accept provisioning requests from multiple wireless devices, the AP permits multiple wireless devices to be provisioned via the AP, in response to corresponding provisioning requests received from the respective wireless devices. The request to accept may be generated upon pressing of a push button provided on the AP, which may be referred to as a group provisioning button since multiple wireless devices are provisioned in response to pressing of that button.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: GAINSPAN CORPORATIONInventors: Prashant Viswanathan, Vishal Batra, Pankaj Vyas

Patent number: 9326301Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure enables convenient provisioning of multiple wireless devices. In an embodiment, a provisioning agent (e.g., a smart phone) identifies wireless devices requiring provisioning to operate as wireless stations and communicates with each wireless device to provide provisioning parameters for joining a first basic service set (BSS). However, during such communication, the provisioning agent operates as a wireless station and each wireless device operates as an access point (AP) outside of the first BSS. Each wireless device is enabled to be configured according to the received provisioning parameters to thereafter operate as a corresponding wireless station of the first BSS.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: GAINSPAN CORPORATIONInventors: Pankaj Vyas, Prashant Viswanathan, Gregory Alan Winner

Patent number: 9191771Abstract: An access point (AP) in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure provides a convenient approach to provision wireless devices. In an embodiment, the AP initiates push button mode of WPS procedures with a wireless device, in response to receiving of a provisioning request from the wireless device, without requiring a WPS push button signal locally. The AP thereafter operates to complete provisioning of the wireless device. According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, a wireless device may also participate in push button mode of WPS, without requiring a push button signal locally. In an embodiment, a wireless device automatically transmits a request for provisioning. An AP within the transmission range, responds back with a command to initiate push button mode of WPS procedures. The wireless device communicates with the AP to complete provisioning.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: GAINSPAN CORPORATIONInventors: Prashant Viswanathan, Vishal Batra, Pankaj Vyas

Publication number: 20140328334Abstract: A wireless device is provisioned according to WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) push button mode. The wireless device receives an electronic signal from a provisioning agent external to the wireless device, the electronic signal indicating to the wireless device that the wireless device is to start WPS provisioning procedures. A user presses a push button on an AP to which the wireless device is to be connected. On receipt of the electronic signal, the wireless device enrolls in a wireless network, of which the AP is a part, by communicating with the access point in accordance with push button mode of WPS. The technique enables a wireless device to be provisioned without a user requiring to press any button on the wireless device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2013Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: GainSpan CorporationInventors: PRASHANT VISWANATHAN, Vishal Batra, Pankaj Vyas

Facilitating communication between resource-constrained devices and wireless communication terminals
Patent number: 8755404Abstract: A link device facilitating communication between a wireless communication terminal and a resource-constrained device. According to an aspect, the link device receives messages from the wireless communication terminal on a wireless path according to a first protocol, converts the messages into a second protocol, and forwards the converted messages in the second protocols to the resource-constrained device on a wired path connecting the link device to the resource-constrained device. In an embodiment, the first protocol corresponds to HTTP protocol and the second protocol corresponds to a simpler protocol which requires relatively lesser processing and memory resources.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2012Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Gainspan CorporationInventors: Prashant Viswanathan, Pankaj Vyas, Greg Winner, Vishal Batra -
Patent number: 8665744Abstract: A WiFi-enabled embedded device boots as a first access point. The WiFi-enabled embedded device communicates with a first wireless station to receive configuration parameters while continuing to operate as an access point. The WiFi-enabled embedded device then applies the configuration parameters internally to cause the WiFi-enabled embedded device to operate as a second wireless station. In an embodiment, the first wireless station discovers a configuration service advertized by the WiFi-enabled embedded device using mDN/DNS-SD, and automatically provides the configuration parameters to the WiFi-enabled embedded device. Convenient provisioning of the WiFi-enabled embedded device is thus made possible.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Gainspan CorporationInventors: Prashant Viswanathan, Greg Winner, Pankaj Vyas
