Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for automatically detecting and connecting to a Wi-Fi network. In these methods, a wireless device listens for beacons that are sent using a low-power wireless protocol. Once the wireless device detects a first beacon at a first location, the wireless device extracts a first beacon region identifier from the beacon and correlates the first beacon region identifier with a first Wi-Fi network that is located at the first location. Next, the wireless device retrieves a first set of credentials for connecting to the first Wi-Fi network. Once the first set of credentials is retrieved, the wireless device uses the first set of credentials to connect to the first Wi-Fi network.

Abstract: The embodiments set forth herein disclose techniques for enabling a user device to seamlessly establish a secure, high-bandwidth wireless connection with a vehicle accessory system to enable the user device to wirelessly stream user interface (UI) information to the vehicle accessory system. To implement this technique, a lower-bandwidth wireless technology (e.g., Bluetooth) is used as an initial means for establishing a Wi-Fi pairing between the user device and the vehicle accessory system. Wi-Fi parameters associated with a Wi-Fi network provided by the vehicle accessory system can be communicated to the user device using the lower-bandwidth wireless technology. A secure Wi-Fi connection can then be established between the user device and the vehicle accessory system using the provided Wi-Fi parameters. The embodiments also disclose a technique for enabling the user device to automatically reconnect with the vehicle accessory system in a seamless manner (e.g., when returning to a vehicle).

Abstract translation: 这里阐述的实施例公开了使得用户设备无缝地与车辆附件系统建立安全的高带宽无线连接以使得用户设备能够将用户界面（UI）信息无线地传送到车辆附件系统的技术。 为了实现这种技术，使用较低带宽的无线技术（例如，蓝牙）作为在用户设备和车辆附件系统之间建立Wi-Fi配对的初始手段。 可以使用较低带宽的无线技术将与由车辆附件系统提供的Wi-Fi网络相关联的Wi-Fi参数传送到用户设备。 然后可以使用提供的Wi-Fi参数在用户设备和车辆附件系统之间建立安全的Wi-Fi连接。 这些实施例还公开了一种使得用户设备能够以无缝方式（例如，返回车辆）时自动地与车辆附件系统重新连接的技术。
