Prior art

The USPTO database indicates that US Patent 11026088 is currently active, with an anticipated expiration date of 2034-08-29.

The patent US11026088 explicitly cites one prior art document:

• Full Citation: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-51314 [cite: Patent Document 1, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-51314]
• Publication/Filing Date: While the specific filing date is not detailed in the provided text, the publication number "2005-51314" suggests a publication in 2005. [cite: Patent Document 1, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-51314]
• Brief Description: This patent document describes a wireless LAN system where a client terminal connects to a wireless LAN access point. Security is addressed by setting a time period during which the client terminal is allowed to connect to the access point, with control based on this time restriction. [cite: Patent Document 1, describes that, in a wireless LAN system where a client terminal of a user and a communication device, which is a wireless LAN access point, wirelessly connect to each other, a time period in which the client terminal is allowed to connect to the access point is set, and security is ensured by a control based on this time restriction.]
• Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): The provided information does not contain the specific claims of US11026088, making it impossible to definitively state which claims are potentially anticipated. However, based on the description of Patent Document 1, any claims in US11026088 that broadly cover a wireless LAN system with time-restricted access for security purposes could be anticipated. The novel aspects of US11026088, as outlined in its abstract, appear to focus on permission from a first communication terminal device for a second communication terminal device to connect to a communication device, and then confirming whether this permission is to be continued or terminated. This specific mechanism of permission and confirmation from a separate "first terminal" would likely differentiate claims in US11026088 from the general time-restriction described in Patent Document 1.
