A method for application connection includes receiving, by a first electronic device, a list of application active sessions based on the active sessions being in an area of a global positioning system (GPS) location of the first electronic device. The first electronic device receives a selection of an active session associated with a first application running on a second electronic device. In response to the selection of the active session, the first electronic device receives information including at least a service set identification (SSID) and a network security key associated with the secure local network. The first electronic device connects to the secure local network without user input of the SSID and the network security key from a user of the first electronic device. The first electronic device connects to the first application running on the second electronic device via the secure local network.

Application connection for devices in a network

A method for application connection comprises discovering information for communicating with a first electronic device. The first electronic device includes an application launched thereon. A symbolic code representing the discovered information is generated. The symbolic code is displayed on a display device. The symbolic code is used to gain access to the first electronic device via a second electronic device. The application is connected via the second electronic device.

A method for application connection includes receiving a list of application active sessions by a first electronic device based on location of the active sessions in relation to a location of the first electronic device. An active session is selected using the first electronic device to gain access for connection to a first application by the first electronic device.

System and method for filtering a data packet using a combined filter are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes receiving a data packet and N filters. The method includes receiving a data packet and N (wherein N is an integer and N&#x3e;1) filters, each filter comprising a bit mask and corresponding bit values. The method further includes, for each of the N filters, identifying a key element from a portion of the filter corresponding to a combined filter, the key element being a segment of the filter portion having the richest bit pattern. The method further includes generating the combined filter by combining the key element of the N filters. The method further includes filtering the data packet with the combined filter to determine whether there is a match between the data packet and each key element.
