Patent

CA 2670056

A wireless local area network "WLAN" client device that has just connected to a WLAN detects that the WLAN is offered by a hotspot, where access to a public network is provided by the WLAN via a gateway. A browser application of the WLAN client device is launched, either automatically or in response to receiving an indication via a user input element of the WLAN client device to register at the hotspot. The browser application is launched with an Internet Protocol address that ought to trigger an Internet Protocol filtering rule of the gateway.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif client de réseau local sans fil (WLAN) qui vient d'être connecté à un WLAN et détecte que le WLAN est proposé par un point sensible. L'accès à un réseau public est fourni par le WLAN via une passerelle. Un navigateur du client WLAN est lancé, soit automatiquement, soit en réponse à la réception d'une indication via un élément de saisie utilisateur du dispositif client WLAN à enregistrer sur la zone sensible. Le navigateur est lancé avec une adresse de protocole Internet qui devrait déclencher une règle de filtrage de protocole Internet de la passerelle.
