Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012131488A1] Mobile phone with a camera to capture an image of a two dimensional, 2D, bar code. From the image the device can decode a wireless network identifier, or network name, and connection parameters. Then the device can match the decoded name against the list of available networks. If the respective network is present in the list, then the phone can request a connection to said network based on the decoded connection parameters. The decoded data may further comprise a login / password set to be used in a connection confirmation response to the earlier request.
