Abstract

A wireless LAN (Local Area Network) hot spot location system has small transmit receiver units that regularly test whether the unit is in a WLAN coverage area and show this by LED (Light Emitting Diode) or signal strength displays and have GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers to locate the next WLAN. Independent claims are included for the construction of the transmit receive units as ball point pens, lighters, mobile phones, watches, jewelry and spectacles or in miniature form in clothing and textiles.

Description

Wireless-LAN = Drahltloses Lokales Netzwerk. Es gibt die unterschiedlichsten Wireless-LAN-Standards. Der bekannteste und verbreitetste ist "WiFi" (für Wireless Fidelity) nach dem IEEE Standard 802.11 b. Diese Beschreibung gilt für die derzeit bekannten sowie zukünftigen Standards. Der Zugriff auf ein Wireless-LAN mittels eines Wireless LAN-fähigen Gerätes kann nur erfolgen, wenn der Benuzter weiss, wo sich ein Wireless-LAN befindet, oder wenn dieses gekennzeichnet ist.Wireless-LAN = wireless local Network. There is a wide variety of wireless LAN standards. The best known and most common is "WiFi" (for wireless Fidelity) according to the IEEE standard 802.11 b. This description applies for the currently known as well as future Standards. Access to a wireless LAN using a wireless LAN-capable device can only take place if the user knows where there is a wireless LAN or if it is marked.

Problem:Problem:

Der Benutzer eines Notebooks, PDA's und anderer Wireless LAN fähiger Geräte, möchte auf ein Wireless LAN in der Öffentlichkeit (sogenannte Hot Spots) zugreifen. Der häufigste Grund dafür, dürfte der Zugang zum Internet sein. Dazu muss er sein Gerät einschalten, um zu überprüfen, ob an dem derzeitigen Standort ein Hot Spot existiert, wenn dieser nicht gekennzeichnet ist. Diese Prozedur ist gerade bei Notebooks aufwändig und zeitraubend.The user of a notebook, PDA's and other wireless LAN capable Equipment, would like to to a wireless LAN in public (so-called hot spots). The most common reason for this is probably Be access to the internet. To do this, he must switch on his device to check whether a hot spot exists at the current location if it does not is marked. This procedure is particularly complex for notebooks and time-consuming.

Lösung:Solution:

Mit einem Ortungsgerät für Wireless LAN (Hot Spots) in kompakter Bauform kann er dies jederzeit feststellen, ohne sein Gerät einschalten zu müssen. Das Ortungsgerät für Wireless LAN (im folgenden OWL genannt) prüft in zyklischen Abständen oder permanent, ob man sich in dem Bereich eines Wireless-LAN befindet und prüft die Signalstärke, ob diese ausreichend ist. Anschließend wird dem Benutzer das Ergebnis signalisiertWith a tracking device for wireless LAN (hot spots) in a compact design can determine this at any time, without his device to have to switch on. The tracking device for wireless LAN (hereinafter referred to as OWL) checks cyclically or permanent whether you are in the area of a wireless LAN and checks the signal strength, whether this is sufficient. Then the user will Result signaled

Die Signalisierung mittels des OWL's kann auf unterschiedliche Arten erfolgen:The signaling using the OWL can be different Types are made:

  • Einfache Ja – Nein Anzeige mittels Leuchtdiode.Simple yes - no display via LED.
  • Anzeige der Leistung des Hot Spot mittels Leuchtdiodenbalken.Display of the performance of the hot spot by means of an LED bar.
  • Anzeige über ein Display mit den Eigenschaften des Wireless LAN.Display via a display with the properties of the wireless LAN.
  • In Verbindung mit einem GPS Empfänger kann der Benutzer zu dem nächstgelegenen Hot Spot geleitet werden.In conjunction with a GPS receiver, the user can access the the nearest Hot spot.
