CONFIGURING A NETWORK CONNECTION
First Claim
1. A method for generating network parameters for a communications system, the method comprising:
- calculating a hash value based on a unique identifier associated with a receiver device and a first encryption value, wherein the communications system includes a transmitter device configured to perform two-way wireless communications with the receiver device;
generating one or more network parameters for use in establishing a network connection between the transmitter device and the receiver device within the communications system based on the hash value; and
storing the one or more network parameters in a non-volatile memory included in the transmitter device.

Abstract
A communication system for accessing media items via a display device. A receiver is coupled to the display device and a transmitter is coupled to a computer system. Media items stored locally on the computer system and/or remotely on a remote server may be wirelessly transferred from the transmitter to the receiver for display on the display device. In addition, the transmitter and the receiver may be pre-paired prior to delivery to the user, allowing for the network to be configured without any user input. Advantageously, embodiments provide a user with the ability to conveniently view content stored on a computer or a web server without the user having to perform any wireless network setup procedures.
