摘要： A system for registering an input-limited device, such as a voice-enabled device, with a captive access point that requires completion of a portal webpage prior to allowing client devices access to a network, such as the Internet, is described. Such captive access points are commonly found in hotels, and may be used for both freely provided public WiFi and for connections that require providing payment. For registration, the input-limited device operates as a proxy, relaying communications with the captive access point back-and-forth to a second device with rich user-input capabilities via an independent communications channel. Registration information is provided to the access point as though it originated with the input-limited device, allowing the input-limited device to acquire access to the network.
