Apparatus and method for seamless commissioning of wireless devices
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by an electronic device for commissioning a target device onto a communication network, the electronic device including a first processor, a first wireless radio configured to communicate over the communication network, a first commissioning element configured to communicate network configuration data, and a first memory configured to store the one or more programs for execution by the first processor, the one or more programs being configured to, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
- providing a user interface for commissioning the target device, wherein the target device includes a second processor, a second wireless radio, and a second commissioning element configured to receive the network configuration data, the second processor being configured to decode and process the network configuration data for commissioning the target device onto the communication network;
formatting and communicating to the target device, via the first commissioning element, the network configuration data associated with the communication network according to a predetermined format, the network configuration data including an identifier of the communication network and a network key for the communication network that enables connection to the communication network by the target device; and
receiving information indicating that the target device has successfully connected to the communication network.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a first processor; a first commissioning element to communicate with external devices using wireless communication and a first memory storing programs for commissioning a target device onto a communication network. The communication network has configuration data including a network identifier and a network key. The programs provide a user interface for commissioning the target device. The target device includes a second processor, a second wireless radio, and a second commissioning element to receive the network configuration data. The target device decodes the network configuration data to commission the target device onto the communication network. The electronic device sends the network configuration data to the target device and receives confirmation that the target device has successfully connected to the communication network. The electronic device displays the success in a user interface.
