US Patent:

20050176420, Aug 11, 2005

Filed:

Jul 22, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/897239

Inventors:

James Graves - St. Charles IL, US
Debra Jones - Schaumburg IL, US
Benjamin Kern - Chicago IL, US
Boon Meksavan - St. Charles IL, US
Joe Shidle - Hoffman Estates IL, US

International Classification:

H04Q007/20
H04B007/212

US Classification:

455424000, 455423000

Abstract:

There is provided a wireless network detector that easily and conveniently enables a user to scan and find access points for one or more wireless network present in a scanned location. The detector can provide visual and audio feedback about the detected wireless networks. The wireless network detector can provide information to a user, including, the strength of a signal, network identifying information such as network SSID, whether encryption is enabled, etc. The wireless network detector can translate technical network SSIDs or labels into descriptive and understandable text, symbols or names that can be displayed to the user. In one aspect, the wireless network detector scans for transmissions of IEEE 802.11 wireless access points to obtain configuration characteristics relating to a detected wireless fidelity network. The wireless network detector can be configured to detect selected wireless networks and to display detection results only for selected or related wireless networks.
