17tech03 month 10th according to Engadget news: generally we want to connect the laptop computer to a closed network, probably take a few steps? Small window users may need to be more than a step, MacOS may save a bit, press the finder above the wireless network small sign, from the online list of the selection target, enter the WEP authentication code, press OK, then even if the finished, but, these actions, in fact, can be "forced" a bit on the finish!
An Apple patent recently sent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is about using RFID technology to store these messy authentication codes and to process a bunch of setup steps; it's pretty easy to understand the concept of this stuff from the picture above. To connect to the network of Devices (Networkdevice) with the storage of relevant data in the RFID label, put the RFID transceiver (transceiver) of the base station within a certain distance, the upper and lower cross linked, you can carry out the exchange of information stored in RFID, One but the base station has handled the device RFID contains information, immediately through the network certification, which does not necessarily need to let the computer in the boot state.
Of course, there are quite a few other applications, like the use of Airportexpress Bridge to extend the wireless network in the home, save a bunch of trouble, but also to join such as network printers and other facilities, and even the future of a bunch of wireless new products, as long as the close distance (will not add "force" of the Beep, Again ~) Contact to the next, you can complete the connection settings. Although not a great big invention, but should, perhaps, may let the home, the office more convenient.
