  • Patent number: 7155437
    Abstract: A method for a terminal to connect to wireless networks in a wireless network system is disclosed. The wireless network system has a plurality of wireless networks, each having a unique identity. The terminal includes a network database for storing a plurality of predetermined identities, a plurality of configuration tables with each associating different predetermined identities to different priorities, and a status pointer representing when or where the terminal operates. The method includes selecting one configuration table according to the status pointer, comparing the identities received by the terminal with the predetermined identities in the selected configuration table, selecting an identity among the matched identities according to the priority associated with the matched predetermined identities, and connecting to the wireless network corresponding to the selected identity.

  • Patent number: 7099476
    Abstract: A network system includes a server, an access point connected to the server for transmitting wireless data or receiving wireless data for the server, and a station for receiving wireless data from the access point and transmitting wireless data to the access point. The station has a first key. A ciphering key updating method includes: authenticating the station with the first key; if authentication succeeds, the station transmitting identification data to the access point; and if the identification data matches registration data stored in the server, transmitting a second key to replace or update the first key.

  • Publication number: 20030221098
    Abstract: A method for automatically updating a ciphering key used in a network system. The network system has a server, an access point connected to the server, a station, and a counting module. The access point is used to transmit data received from the server via wireless transmission, and receive data transmitted via wireless transmission. The access point uses a first ciphering key to encrypt transmission data. The method includes: detonating the counting module to start counting the time; randomly generating a second ciphering key if the time counted by the counting module conforms to a predetermined time; the access point transmitting the second ciphering key to the station so as to update the first ciphering key stored in the station with the second ciphering key; and using the second ciphering key to encrypt data transmitted between the access point and the station.

  • Publication number: 20020165015
    Abstract: An incoming call information buffer system includes an information database and a transmission module. The information database stores the information of an incoming call when the communications device being called is not able to receive the incoming call. The transmission module sends the information of the incoming call to the communications device when it is next turned on. The invention also provides an incoming call information buffer method.
