Abstract

A system and method for providing Wi-Fi access to electronic devices is disclosed. A plurality of electronic devices in a PAN is provided. A Wi-FI compatible server is associated with each electronic device in the PAN. The Wi-Fi compatible server associated with each electronic device is capable of configuring a HTML data for the associated electronic device. The HTML data associated with each electronic device is then provided to a WLAN device for providing Wi-Fi access to each electronic device in the PAN.

Claims

1. A system for providing universal access to a device in a mesh network to a user in a cloud network, comprising:

a plurality of devices in communication with one another in an interconnected mesh network;

a server associated with each device to configure a Hyper Text Markup Language for generating a web page for the said device;

an application module in the server capable of linking the web pages of all devices to generate a master web page,

a WLAN device to establish a Wi-Fi connection with at least one device;

a viewing device that enables the user to access the master web page in the cloud network.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the cloud network is a local area network, internet, and wide area network.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of devices is a home automation and control device.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the interconnected mesh network is Zigbee™

, IEEE 802.15.4.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the server is wireless fidelity enabled server.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the web page of the device displays the real time status of the device.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the viewing device is a remote system connected to the internet.

8. A method for providing universal access to a device in a mesh network, to a user in a cloud network, comprising:

configuring HTML data for a plurality of devices in communication with each other in an interconnected mesh network;

generating web page for each device using the HTML data for the said device;

creating on each device, a master web page having links to web page of all devices as a formatted data;

establishing a Wi-Fi connection between at least one device and the WLAN using HTML Data of the said device;

transmitting the formatted data to a server; and

displaying to the user the formatted data as a web page in the cloud network.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the cloud network includes internet, local Area Network, wide area network.

10. The method of claim 8 wherein the interconnected mesh network includes Zigbee™

, IEEE 802.15.4.

11. The method of claim 8 wherein the plurality of device is a home automation and control device.

12. The method of claim 8 wherein the web page of the device displays real time status of the device.

13. The method of claim 8 wherein the server is compatible with Hyper Text Transfer protocol.
