METHOD FOR CONNECTING DEVICES TO A NETWORK THROUGH AN AUDIO CABLE AND A USER DEVICE
A method of configuring a first device, such as a monitoring device, to be controlled by a second, user device, via a network, comprises connecting the user device to the monitoring device to be configured, via an audio cable, providing a network password to a wireless network to the monitoring device from the user device, via the audio cable, connecting the monitoring device to the wireless network; and associating the monitoring device to the user device by a processing device, so that the user device can interact with the monitoring device and the processing device, via the wireless network. The user device may be a mobile user device, which may be connectable to a WiFi network and/or a cellular network, or example. A cryptographic key may be issued between the monitoring device and the user device for secure communication.
1 . A method of configuring a monitoring device to be controlled by a user device, via a network, comprising:
connecting the user device to the monitoring device to be configured, via an audio cable;
providing a network password to a wireless network to the monitoring device from the user device, via the audio cable;
connecting the monitoring device to the wireless network; and
associating the monitoring device to the user device by a processing device, so that the user device can interact with the monitoring device and the processing device, via the wireless network.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user device is a mobile user device.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the mobile user device is connectable to a WiFi network and/or a cellular network.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
issuing a cryptographic key between the monitoring device and the user device for secure communication
5 . A method of configuring a first device to be controlled by a second, user device, via a network, comprising:
connecting the second, user device to the first device to be configured, via an audio cable;
providing a network password to a wireless network to the first device from the second, user device, via the audio cable;
connecting the first device to the wireless network; and
associating the first device to the second device by a processing device, so that the user device can interact with the first device and the processing device, via the wireless network.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the user device is a mobile user device.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the mobile user device is connectable to a WiFi network and/or a cellular network.
8 . The method of claim 51 , further comprising:
issuing a cryptographic key between the first device and the second device for secure communication
