Method for multiple configurations of wireless network connection settings
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a network connection of the terminal in a wireless network system, the terminal capable of wirelessly transmitting and receiving data, the wireless network system comprising a plurality of wireless networks, the different wireless networks having different identities capable of being transmitted wirelessly by each wireless network, the terminal comprising:
- a plurality of distinct sorting pointers, each distinct sorting pointer representing a unique priority;
a network database for recording a plurality of predetermined identities;
a plurality of configuration tables, each configuration table for corresponding one predetermined identity to one unique sorting pointer, and each configuration table having at least a unique predetermined identity which corresponds to a sorting, pointer; and
a status pointer for representing an operational location and time;
the method comprising;
receiving identities of the plurality of wireless networks via wireless transmission;
choosing a configuration table from the plurality of configuration tables according to the status pointer;
comparing the predetermined identity of the chosen configuration table with the identities received, and if any of the plurality of identities received matches the predetermined identity, then choosing an identity according to the sorting pointer corresponding to the status pointer; and
wirelessly connecting to the wireless network corresponding to the chosen identity.

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.
