US Patent 7894379 Key recognition method and wireless communication system

A key recognition method and a key recognition system are applied to a wireless bridging apparatus and a terminal apparatus with a wireless communication function. When a user uses the wireless bridging apparatus at a first time, the user cannot connect the wireless bridging apparatus to a wireless network through the terminal apparatus until key verification between the terminal apparatus and the wireless bridging apparatus has been conducted and passed. The key recognition method includes the steps of: transmitting, by the wireless bridging apparatus, an original code to the terminal apparatus; encoding, by the terminal apparatus, the original code to obtain a transformed code; encoding, by the terminal apparatus, the original code and the transformed code to obtain a recognition code; and transmitting, by the terminal apparatus, the recognition code to the wireless bridging apparatus for verification and communication establishment.
