Methods for establishing wireless network communication and device utilizing same
First Claim
1. A method for establishing wireless network communication between devices, comprising:
- recording a first activation reference time when a first device is activated to establish a wireless network with other devices;
searching for and identifying at least one second device on a network corresponding to at least one wireless network capability;
comparing the first activation reference time and a second activation reference time of the second device to determine whether they fall into the same time window, wherein the second activation reference time is generated when the second device is activated to establish wireless network with other devices; and
authenticating a wireless network between the first and second devices if the first and second activation reference times are in the same time window.

Abstract
Method for establishing wireless networks between devices is disclosed. When a first device is activated to establish a wireless network with other devices, a first activation reference time is recorded. At least one second device that has at least one compatible networking capability is searched for and identified. When the second device is activated to establish wireless network with other devices, a second activation reference time also is recorded. The first and second activation reference times are compared to determine whether they fall into the same time window. The offset between the system time of the first device and that of the second may be factored into the calculation to further enhance the accuracy. If the first and second activation reference times are in the same time window, the authentication of wireless network is established between the devices.
