Abstract: A network access control method involves requesting access to a network via a wireless communication adapter for a personal electronic device. Then, an acoustic audio code output by an audio signaling device connected to the wireless communication adapter by wire is acoustically captured by the personal electronic device. A digital representation of the captured acoustic audio code is submitted from the personal electronic device to the wireless communication adapter via wireless communication. Subsequently, the wireless communication adapter authenticates the personal electronic device on the basis of the submitted digital representation of the captured acoustic audio code.

Abstract: A method for transmitting data to an electronic component of a motor vehicle, in particular a navigation system is disclosed. According to the method, data is generated in a computer system that is external to the motor vehicle and is subsequently transmitted by said computer system to a short message service centre, for example via the Internet. The data is then polled by the service centre in a time-delayed manner and is transmitted via a mobile radio connection as an individual short message in short message service format to the navigation system of the motor vehicle.
