Automatically populated display regions for discovered access points and stations in a user interface representing a wireless communication network deployed in a physical environment

A system for providing automatically populated display regions showing discovered access points and stations in a user interface representing a wireless communication network deployed in a physical environment. A generated user interface includes a first display region in which access point representations are displayed as corresponding access points are automatically discovered within the wireless network, and a second display region in which station representations are displayed as corresponding stations are automatically discovered within the wireless network. The first and second display regions are provided external to another display region, referred to as the "physical space" display region, in which is shown a representation of the physical space in which the wireless network is deployed. As the access point and station representations appear in the first display region and second display region, the user can manipulate them, for example by drag and drop operations using a computer mouse, in order to place them appropriately in the physical space display region. In response, the disclosed system superimposes the access point and station representations over the physical space representation. The access point and station representations can subsequently be similarly repositioned by the user within the physical space representation. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION To address the above described and other shortcomings of existing systems, a system and method are disclosed for providing automatically populated display regions showing representations of discovered access points and stations in a user interface representing a wireless communication network deployed in a physical environment.
In the disclosed system, a user interface is generated including a first display region in which access point representations are displayed as corresponding access points are automatically discovered within the wireless network, and a second display region in which station representations are displayed as corresponding stations are automatically discovered within the wireless network.
The first and second display regions are provided external to another display region, referred to as the "physical space" display region, in which is shown a representation of the physical space in which the wireless network is deployed.
As the access point and station representations appear in the first display region and second display region, the user can manipulate them, for example by drag and drop operations using a computer mouse, to place them appropriately in the physical space display region.
In response, the disclosed system superimposes the access point and station representations over the physical space representation.
The access point and station representations can subsequently be repositioned by the user within the physical space representation.
Thus there is disclosed a system for representing discovered access points and stations in a user interface showing a deployed wireless network physical environment.
The disclosed system allows a user to conveniently identify access points and stations as they are automatically discovered, and to conveniently place the access point and station representations at locations within a representation of a physical environment.
