  • Secure wireless peer-peer connection using near-field communication
    Patent number: 9831918
    Abstract: A system (100) for establishing a secure wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) connection using near-field communication (NFC) comprising a first device (105), the first device (105) comprising near-field communication hardware (115) to communicate with a second device (110) and obtain a handover select record, in which the handover select record comprises data to establish a secure wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with the second device (110), and in which a context of the first device (105) and second device (110) defines an action to be initiated on the second device (110).

  • Connection of peripheral devices to wireless networks
    Patent number: 8966601
    Abstract: Methods and an apparatus to connect a peripheral device to a wireless network access point are provided herein. A host device associated with a wireless network access point stores and obtains a set of wireless credentials related to a wireless network formed by the wireless network access point. The host device opens a connection between the host device and the peripheral device to transmit the set of wireless credentials from the host device to the peripheral device. The host device identifies the peripheral device over the wireless network access point.
