A device, a system, a method and a computer readable medium allowing a user to efficiently and easily add/remove or pair a processing device to a short distance wireless network is provided according to embodiments of the present invention. A user enters a PIN into a device. The device is then automatically paired to another device without any further user intervention to form a short distance wireless network in an embodiment of the present invention. A third party such as a manufacturer, reseller or telecommunication provider enables a processing device to be added to the short distance wireless network by generating a pairing message over the Internet or a SMS in an embodiment of the present invention. A user is able to know when a PIN code is invalid by a device performing error detection in another embodiment of the present invention. In still another embodiment of the present invention, the device also stores an error correction software component for correcting an erroneously inputted PIN.

A method, system, and computer readable medium allows a user to select an output signal for device/terminal in short distance wireless network. In embodiments of the present invention, the output signal is a ring tone, alarm, background image, vibration signal, font type, or portion of a motion picture. In embodiments of the present invention, a system comprises a first and second device, in a short distance wireless network, generating a first and second output signal. A cellular device generates a first and a second short-range radio signals responsive to a cellular signal from a cellular network. The cellular signal includes a first multimedia file for the first device and a second multimedia file for the second device. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first multimedia file and second multimedia file are thematically related. In an embodiment of the present invention, a processing device is coupled to the cellular network and stores the first and second multimedia files. In an embodiment of the present invention, a user selects a theme on a device or at a web site in order to change the output signals in the short distance wireless network. In an embodiment of the present invention, the output signals are changed periodically without user intervention. In still a further embodiment of the present invention, promoters or users pay a telecommunication network provider for conveniently and safely changing the output signals.
摘要:
A device, a system, a computer readable medium and a method provide status information of a device and/or devices in a short distance wireless network in an embodiment of the present invention. Status information, such as the quality of the received signal and/or available battery power of each device in the short distance wireless network is provided to a device having a display according to an embodiment of the present invention. Status information may be selectively displayed in an easily viewable and preferable type in an embodiment of the present invention.

A device, method, system and computer readable medium allows for a fast recovery of a communication connection in response to a newly assigned Wide Area Network (“WAN”) Internet protocol (“IP”) source address. In an embodiment of the present invention, a device provides communication between a WAN and a short distance wireless network. The device comprises a memory to store a first and a second WAN address for the device and a router software component. The processor and router software component transfers a first plurality of packets between the device and the wide area network using the first wide area network address. The processor and router software component discontinues the transfer of the first plurality of packets responsive to receiving the second wide area network address and transfers a second plurality of packets between the device and the wide area network using the second wide area network address. The second newly assigned WAN address may have been assigned by the WAN after a disconnection of communication between the device and a server in the WAN. In an embodiment of the present invention, the router software includes a plurality of private IP addresses for respective terminals, in the short distance wireless network, associated with the WAN IP address. In an embodiment of the present invention, a Point-to-Point (“PPP”) connection or Transfer Control Protocol (“TCP”) connection is discontinued and then initiated in response to a newly assigned WAN IP address in order to quickly recover a communication connection between terminals in the short distance wireless network and the WAN.
