Abstract
A network connecting device communicates with a network providing device and a terminal device. The network providing device can send authorization information for providing a network. The terminal device can send a request for sharing the network. The network connecting device obtains the authorization information sent by the network providing device and the request sent by the terminal device. The network connecting device connects the terminal device to the network provided by the network providing device according to the authorization information. A network connecting system and method are also provided.
