Abstract: An electronic device connects to a network associated with a service provider via a router at a home location. During a time interval, the electronic device provides information specifying a network address of the router to an authentication computer when the electronic device is connected to a network. The authentication computer uses the received information to determine a connection pattern of the electronic device. Moreover, the authentication computer identifies that the electronic device is at the home location based on the connection pattern. Then, the authentication computer provides, to an accounting computer associated with the service provider, a request to allow the electronic device to access a wireless network associated with the service provider at a remote location (which is other than the home location). Furthermore, the authentication computer communicates network information to the electronic device, which allows the electronic device to access the wireless network without providing authentication information.

Abstract translation: 电子设备通过家乡位置的路由器连接到与服务提供商相关联的网络。 在时间间隔期间，当电子设备连接到网络时，电子设备向认证计算机提供指定路由器的网络地址的信息。 认证计算机使用所接收的信息来确定电子设备的连接模式。 此外，认证计算机基于连接模式识别电子设备在家庭位置。 然后，认证计算机向与服务提供商相关联的会计计算机提供允许电子设备在远程位置（不同于家庭位置）访问与服务提供商相关联的无线网络的请求。 此外，认证计算机将网络信息传送到电子设备，这允许电子设备在不提供认证信息的情况下访问无线网络。
