Apparatus and method for seamless commissioning of wireless devices
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a smart wireless device for commissioning a target device onto a wireless local area network (WLAN), the smart wireless device including a first processor and a first memory storing the one or more programs for execution by the first processor, the one or more programs further including an application, wherein the application, when executed by the smart wireless device, is configured to cause the smart wireless device to perform operations comprising:
- displaying a user interface for commissioning the target device, wherein the target device is disposed in proximity to the smart wireless device and includes a second processor and a second memory storing programs for execution by the second processor, the programs stored in the second memory including program instructions that direct the second processor to decode and process WLAN configuration packets for commissioning the target device itself onto the WLAN and to decode and process smart wireless device information that identifies the smart wireless device for facilitating communication between the smart wireless device and the target device over the WLAN;
formatting and communicating, to the target device, one or more WLAN configuration packets that convey WLAN configuration data associated with the WLAN according to a predetermined format, wherein the WLAN is accessible to the smart wireless device;
receiving information indicating that the target device has successfully entered the WLAN; and
communicating device configuration data to the target device, the device configuration data including smart wireless device information that identifies the smart wireless device for facilitating communication between the smart wireless device and the target device over the WLAN.

Abstract
An application is provided on a smart wireless device for commissioning a target device disposed in proximity to the smart wireless device onto a wireless local area network (WLAN). The application is configured to display a user interface, format and communicate one or more WLAN configuration packets that convey WLAN configuration data associated with the WLAN according to a predetermined format, and receive information indicating that the target device has successfully entered the WLAN. The application is also configured to after the smart wireless device enters the WLAN, communicate device configuration data to the target device. The device configuration data include smart wireless device information that identifies the smart wireless device for facilitating communication between the smart wireless device and the target device over the WLAN.
