Patent granted for code-based indicia containing secured network access credentials

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003498B2) discloses an apparatus and method for establishing a secured network connection using code-based indicia containing network access credentials. The apparatus includes an active display of a network router, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a network connection application, and one or more processors. When the network connection application is executed, the processors receive a notification to establish the secured network connection and render the code-based indicia to the active display. The electronic device scans the code-based indicia to extract network access credentials, including encrypted credentials and a security question, to establish the secured network connection.
Furthermore, the method involves receiving a notification by the network router's processors, accessing the stored code-based indicia with secured network access credentials, and rendering the code-based indicia to the active display. The electronic device scans the code-based indicia to extract the credentials and uses the answer to the security question as a decryption key. Additional features include receiving the code-based indicia from a computing device for user-generated credentials and establishing the connection based on a matching password. The patent also covers an apparatus for generating and transmitting the code-based indicia to the network router's display, facilitating the secure network connection establishment process efficiently and securely.
