Patent number: 10003941Abstract: A wireless network connection method for an electronic device is provided, in which a first signal is transmitted to additional electronic device and is utilized to identify the electronic device. When the additional electronic device identifies the electronic device through the first signal, it establishes wireless communication between the electronic device and the additional electronic device. A second signal is transmitted to the additional electronic device. The second signal is an audio signal to instruct the additional electronic device to maintain the wireless communication.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: ACER INCORPORATEDInventors: Wen-Cheng Hsu, Hung-Chih Yu, Chi-Hung Chang, Shih-Hao Lin, Chia-Hsun Lee, Kai-Ping Chang, Cheng-Hsin Chang, Wen-Ping Chang
