- said terminal including;
a processor;
a first communicator connected electrically to and controlled by said processor, and configured to receive an identification code issued by the access point and send the identification code to said processor; and
a second communicator connected electrically to and controlled by said processor, and configured to transmit data to and receive data from said server,said server including;
a database storing a user account and a user password of said terminal, and the identification code and an authentication code of the access point;
a controller connected electrically to said database; and
a third communicator connected electrically to and controlled by said controller, and configured to transmit data to and receive data from said second communicator of said terminal;
wherein, after said processor of said terminal has received the identification code from said first communicator, said processor sends a message containing the identification code, and the user account and the user password of said terminal to said third communicator of said server through said second communicator, said third communicator sending the message to said controller, said controller searching data in said database according to contents of the message and, after confirming the user account and the user password of said terminal, sending the authentication code corresponding to the identification code to said second communicator of said terminal through said third communicator, said processor setting the authentication code after receiving the authentication code from said second communicator, and automatically logging in to the access point through said first communicator so as to activate a wireless network access function of said first communicator, andwherein said server further includes a fourth communicator, said controller being configured to control the access point through said fourth communicator so as to modify the authentication code of the access point and to concurrently modify the corresponding authentication code in said database.

Abstract
A system for automatic security authentication in a wireless network includes a server and a terminal. The terminal includes a processor, a first communications unit, and a second communications unit. The server includes a database, a control unit, and a third communications unit. The processor receives an identification code of an access point through the first communications unit, and sends a message to the control unit through the second communications unit. The message includes the identification code of the access point, a user account and a user password. The control unit sends an authentication code corresponding to the identification code according to data stored in the database to the processor through the third communications unit. After receipt of the authentication code, the processor automatically logs in to the access point through the first communications unit to activate a wireless network access function.
