Method and apparatus for sharing connectivity settings via social networks
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting one or more connection parameters and associated data of at least one access point;
facilitating provision, via a processor, of the connection parameters and associated data for inclusion within at least one profile of a user, the profile is associated with one or more social network services identifying one or more previously established relationships among one or more determined friends of the user; and
enabling provision of the connection parameters and associated data to at least one of a device of the user or one or more devices of the friends.

Abstract
An apparatus for enabling sharing of one or more connectivity parameters with one or more friends may include a processor and memory storing executable computer code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including detecting one or more connection parameters and associated data of at least one access point. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to facilitate provision of the connection parameters and associated data for inclusion within at least one profile of a user. The profile may be associated with a social network service identifying one or more relationships among one or more determined friends of the user. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to enable provision of the connection parameters and associated data to at least one device of the user or one or more devices of the friends. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; detect one or more connection parameters and associated data of at least one access point; facilitate provision of the connection parameters and associated data for inclusion within at least one profile of a user, the profile is associated a with one or more social network services identifying one or more previously established relationships among one or more determined friends of the user; and enable provision of the connection parameters and associated data to at least one of a device of the user or one or more devices of the friends. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; receive a detection of one or more connection parameters and associated data of at least one access point; facilitate inclusion of the connection parameters and associated data within at least one profile of a user, in response to determining that the profile is associated with one or more social network services identifying one or more previously established relationships among one or more friends of the user; and enable provision of the one or more connection parameters and associated data to at least one of a device of the user or one or more devices of the friends to enable the device or the devices to utilize the connection parameters and associated data to connect to the access point. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
