Abstract

Methods and systems for providing an access of a network to a user are disclosed. A method includes receiving a selection of at least one Service Set Identifier (SSID) associated with the network from the user. The user may select the at least one SSID from a plurality of SSIDs on a computing device. The method further includes presenting an embedded multimedia along with a connect option on the computing device based on the selection of the at least one SSID. The method also includes connecting the computing device to the network based on a selection of the connect option. The method furthermore includes opening at least one webpage associated with at least one uniform resource locator (URL) related to the multimedia on the computing device.

Claims (47)

1. A method for providing an access of a network to a user, comprising:

receiving a selection of at least one Service Set Identifier (SSID) associated with the network from the user, wherein the user selects the at least one SSID from a plurality of SSIDs on an associated computing device;

presenting an embedded multimedia along with a connect option on the computing device of the user based on the selection of the at least one SSID;

connecting the computing device to the network based on a selection of the connect option; and

opening at least one webpage associated with at least one uniform resource locator (URL) related to the multimedia on the computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing a forward option for forwarding the multimedia and a rewind option for rewinding the multimedia to the user.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

presenting the one or more URLs related with the embedded multimedia to the user; and

opening the at least one webpage associated with the at least one URL of the one or more URLs based on a selection of the at least one URL by the user.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

automatically copying a URL related to the embedded multimedia to a clipboard of the computing device;

automatically pasting the URL in an address bar of a browser on the computing device; and

opening a webpage associated with the URL on the computing device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user pastes the URL in the address bar of the browser on the computing device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the embedded multimedia comprising at least one advertisement associated with the selected at least one SSID.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of SSIDs are associated with a plurality of networks.

8. A system for providing an access of a network to a user, comprising:

a transceiver for receiving a selection of at least one Service Set Identifier (SSID) associated with a network from the user, wherein the user selects the at least one SSID from a plurality of SSIDs on an associated computing device;

a display-managing device for presenting an embedded multimedia along with a connect option on the computing device of the user based on the selection of the at least one SSID; and

a connection-managing device for connecting the computing device to the network based on a selection of the connect option;

wherein the display-managing device opens at least one webpage associated with at least one uniform resource locator (URL) related to the multimedia on the computing device.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the display-managing device if further configured to:

present the one or more URLs related with the embedded multimedia to the user; and

open the at least one webpage associated with the at least one URL of the one or more URLs based on a selection of the at least one URL by the user.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the display-managing device is further configured to:

automatically copy a URL related to the embedded multimedia to a clipboard of the computing device;

automatically paste the URL in an address bar of a browser on the computing device; and

open a webpage associated with the URL on the computing device.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the user pastes the URL in the address bar of the browser on the computing device.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the display-managing device is further configured to provide a forward option for forwarding the multimedia and a rewind option for rewinding the multimedia to the user.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the embedded multimedia comprising at least one advertisement associated with the selected at least one SSID.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of SSIDs are associated with the plurality of networks.

15. A freedom portal for managing an access to a network, comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive a selection of at least one Service Set Identifier (SSID) associated with the network from a user, wherein the user selects the at least one SSID from a plurality of SSIDs on an associated computing device;

a display-managing device configured to:

presenting an embedded multimedia along with a “Connect to Internet” option on the computing device of the user based on the selection of the at least one SSID, wherein the user controls playing of the embedded multimedia by selecting a play option;

presenting the one or more URLs related to the embedded multimedia to the user; and

opening at least one webpage associated with at least one URL based on a selection of the at least one URL of the one or more URLs by the user;

a connection-managing device for connecting the computing device to the network based on a selection of the “Connect to Internet” option received from the user.

16. The freedom portal of claim 15 , wherein the display-managing device is further configured to provide a play option for at least one of playing, pausing, forwarding and rewinding the multimedia on the computing device.

17. The freedom portal of claim 15 , wherein the display-managing device is further configured to:

automatically copy a URL related to the embedded multimedia to a clipboard of the computing device;

automatically paste the URL in an address bar of a browser on the computing device; and

open a webpage associated with the URL on the computing device.

18. The freedom portal of claim 17 , wherein the user pastes the URL in the address bar of the browser on the computing device.

19. The freedom portal of claim 15 , wherein the embedded multimedia comprising at least one advertisement associated with the selected at least one SSID.

20. The freedom portal of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of SSIDs are associated with the plurality of networks.
