Description

Device connection method, device and system

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of internet technologies, and in particular, to a device connection method, device, and system.

Background

While a wireless network becomes a preferred solution for constructing a network in a home and small and medium-sized enterprises, as houses are basically made of reinforced concrete and have complicated and various patterns, the environment seriously attenuates wireless signals. Therefore, when one wireless router is used for wireless network coverage, the problems that the signal is poor, the data transmission rate cannot meet the user requirement and even the signal blind spot exists exist. In order to increase the coverage of the wireless network, the bridging function of the wireless router is usually used.

In bridging one wireless router (e.g., referred to as a child device) to another wireless router (e.g., referred to as a parent device), a connection between the two routers needs to be established first. At present, one connection mode is that a password used for connection is preset in the child device and the parent device when the child device leaves a factory, so that when the child device needs to be connected to the parent device, the child device can be connected to the parent device based on the preset password. However, this method can only realize the connection between specific devices, and has a large application limitation. The other connection mode is a password input mode, namely, a password of the mother device is input on the child device, and a password of the child device is input on the mother device. However, this method requires a user to perform a password input operation, and is not convenient for connection.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a commodity or system that includes the element.

In addition, the sequence of steps in each method embodiment described below is only an example and is not strictly limited.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a framework of a device connection system according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the system includes: first device, second device and server, wherein:

the second device is used for sending a detection request, and the detection request comprises an identity of the second device;

the first device is used for acquiring a connection password of the second device from a server and establishing connection with the second device according to the connection password if the second device is determined to be unconnected according to the identity in the detection request;

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is suitable for the situation that the second equipment needs to be connected to the first equipment. In practical applications, the first device may be a device such as a wireless router that provides a network access function, and the second device may also be a wireless router, but may also be an intelligent household appliance such as an intelligent refrigerator, an intelligent television, an intelligent air conditioner, or other user terminal device, without being limited in particular.

It should be noted that the embodiment shown in fig. 1 only illustrates a case where one device, that is, the second device, is connected to the first device, and actually, the device connection scheme provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a case where a plurality of devices are connected to the first device.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is implemented on the premise that: the second device is configured with a connection password in advance, which may be matched when the second device leaves a factory, or configured after the second device leaves a factory, and an identity of the second device and the connection password are stored in a server in advance, where the identity of the second device is used to uniquely characterize the second device, and may be a Media Access Control (MAC) address.

In practical applications, for example, after the second device is powered on, the second device is triggered to send a probe request including an identifier of the second device, where the probe request corresponds to a connection request, and requests to connect to a certain device. The sending mode of the probe request is a broadcast sending mode, and a first device in the coverage area of the broadcast signal receives the probe request, so that a second device is discovered.

After receiving a probe request sent by the second device, the first device first determines, according to an identity of the second device carried in the probe request, whether the second device is a device that has been connected to itself before, and if the second device is a device that has been connected to itself, optionally, the first device may establish connection with the second device again based on a connection password of the second device that has been obtained before. On the contrary, if it is determined that the second device is an unconnected device, the connection password of the second device is acquired from the server without responding to the probe request of the second device. The first device maintains the identity and the connection password of each device which is connected to the first device before, and based on this, when receiving the detection request of the second device, the first device may query whether the locally maintained identity exists in the identities carried in the detection request, so as to determine whether the second device is an unconnected device.

In an optional embodiment, the obtaining, by the first device, the connection password of the second device from the server may be implemented as: the method comprises the steps that a first device sends an adding request carrying an identity of a second device to a server, the server inquires a database based on the identity to obtain a corresponding connection password and feeds the connection password back to the first device, wherein the database correspondingly stores the connection password and the identity of each device.

In practical applications, the first device receiving the probe request sent by the second device may not be unique, and therefore, in another optional embodiment, the first device may trigger to acquire the connection password of the second device from the server only when the signal strength of the received probe request is greater than a threshold value, because in a general practical application scenario, the second device that wants to connect to the first device is generally closer to the first device and belongs to the same user. However, there may be a case where the signal strength of the probe request received by the multiple first devices is greater than the threshold, and in this case, optionally, the addition request sent by each first device to the server may further include signal strength information of the probe request that is respectively measured, so that, when the server receives the addition requests that are sent by the multiple first devices and carry the id and the signal strength information of the second device at substantially the same time, one addition request with the highest signal strength is selected from the multiple addition requests according to the signal strength information to respond, that is, the connection password of the second device is fed back to the first device corresponding to the highest signal strength, so that the first device establishes a connection with the second device according to the connection password.

Alternatively, the second device may continuously send the probe request at a certain time interval as long as the second device is not connected to the first device, and the first device may respond to the probe request sent by the second device and received again after obtaining the connection password from the server, and establish a connection with the second device.

The process of establishing the connection between the first device and the second device is a process of four-way handshaking between devices in the 802.11 protocol in the prior art, which is not described in detail.

The above condition that the signal strength of the probe request received by the first device is used to obtain the connection password of the second device is to: the second device is connected to the first device which needs or should be connected as far as possible, i.e. the connection of the second device is reasonable.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a technical means for ensuring the security of device connection, where the security is embodied as: if someone broadcasts a false detection request maliciously, and the false detection request also carries the identity of the second device, the first device receives the false detection request and still performs the processing, which may cause the first device to be connected with an illegal device and be attacked.

Based on this, in the embodiment of the present invention, the probe request sent by the second device may further include, in addition to the identity identifier of the second device, information to be verified of the second device, so that the server feeds back the connection password of the second device to the first device when determining that the information to be verified is correct according to the pre-stored identity verification information of the second device. Optionally, the information to be verified may be obtained by encrypting the id and the connection password of the second device, for example, the MD5 algorithm is used to encrypt the id and the connection password of the second device to obtain an MD5 value, and the MD5 value is the information to be verified.

Therefore, optionally, when receiving a probe request carrying an identity identifier and information to be verified and sent by a second device, a first device sends an addition request to a server if the measured signal strength of the probe request is greater than a threshold, where the addition request includes the identity identifier of the second device and the information to be verified. And after receiving the adding request, the server determines whether the information to be verified is correct according to the prestored identity verification information of the second equipment, and if so, feeds back the connection password of the second equipment to the first equipment.

Specifically, since the server stores the identity and the connection password of the second device in advance, the identity and the connection password can be used as the authentication information of the second device, so that, after the server receives the addition request, whether a matching identity exists in the database can be queried according to the identity, if so, the locally stored identity and the locally stored connection password of the second device are encrypted by using the same encryption algorithm, if the obtained operation result is consistent with the information to be authenticated in the addition request, the information to be authenticated is correct, and the connection password of the second device is fed back to the first device, so that the first device is connected with the second device by using the connection password.

By adding the information to be verified in the detection request and verifying the correctness of the information to be verified at the server side, the security of the connection of the second device to the first device can be ensured. In addition, in the connection process, the user does not need to perform complicated operations such as setting and the like, and the convenience of the user for equipment connection is improved.

The second device may be understood as any electronic device that needs to be connected to the first device, and when there are multiple devices that need to be connected to the first device, each device that needs to be connected may be connected to the first device through the above process. For example, assume that there are currently three devices: a device a, a device B, and a device C, wherein the device a is assumed to be the first device, specifically, a wireless router; device B and device C are two wireless routers that need to connect to device a. Further, assume that the connection password of device B is keyB, the id is mac (B), and the connection password of device C is keyC, and the id is mac (C). Therefore, the device B sends the probe request carrying the mac (B) after being powered on, and the device C sends the probe request carrying the mac (C) after being powered on. When the device A receives the detection request and determines that the corresponding device is an unconnected device based on the identity carried in the detection request, the device A obtains the connection password of the corresponding device through the server, so that the connection password keyB of the device B and the connection password keyC of the device C are finally obtained, the device A is connected with the device B based on the keyB and is connected with the device C based on the keyC, and therefore the connection between the device A and the device B and the connection between the device A and the device C are achieved. It is understood that the relevant contents of the information to be verified, the signal strength of the received probe request, and the like described in the foregoing embodiments are not expanded in detail in this example, but the foregoing contents also apply to this example.

The above embodiment of the invention provides another verification means that can implement the connection rationality of the second device, such as the embodiment shown in fig. 2.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a framework of another device connection system according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the system further includes: a client bound with the first device.

The second device is used for sending a detection request, wherein the detection request comprises an identity of the second device and information to be verified;

the first device is used for sending a notification message to a pre-bound client if the second device is determined to be an unconnected device according to the identity identifier in the detection request, wherein the notification message comprises the identity identifier and the information to be verified, receiving the connection password fed back by the server when the server determines that the information to be verified is correct according to the pre-stored identity verification information of the second device, and establishing connection with the second device according to the connection password;

the client is used for displaying the identity identifier on an interface, responding to identity validity confirmation operation triggered by a user to the second equipment according to the identity identifier, and sending an adding request to the server, wherein the adding request comprises the identity identifier and the information to be verified;

and the server is used for determining the correctness of the information to be verified according to the prestored identity verification information of the second equipment.

In this embodiment, after receiving the probe request sent by the second device, the first device may determine whether the second device is an unconnected device directly according to the identity of the second device, or determine whether the second device is an unconnected device according to the identity of the second device when it is detected that the signal strength of the received probe request is greater than a certain threshold.

When the second device is determined to be an unconnected device, optionally, a notification message may be directly sent to the pre-bound client, where the notification message includes an identity of the second device and information to be verified, or optionally, the notification message may also be sent to the client after receiving an indication message sent by the client.

The identity of the first device may be input in advance in a relevant configuration interface of the client to realize the binding between the first device and the client, and the client is used to assist in performing connection reasonableness authentication from other devices to the first device.

In practical application, a user may power on the second device to trigger the second device to send a probe request, at this time, the user starts the client to trigger the client to send an indication message to the first device, where the indication message is used to inform the first device that the client has started, and at this time, the first device may select to complete verification of connection rationality of the second device through the client. Alternatively, when the first device does not receive the indication message, it may choose to use the signal reception strength based on the probe request shown in fig. 1 to complete the verification of the reasonableness by the server.

After receiving the notification message sent by the first device, the client may display the identity of the second device on the interface, so that the user may determine whether the second device is the device of the user according to the identity, and the user may trigger an identity validity confirmation operation for the second device on the interface by comparing the identity displayed on the interface with the identity of the second device of the user, if the identity and the identity are consistent, so that the client sends an addition request to the server, where the addition request includes the identity of the second device and the information to be verified.

And after receiving the adding request, the server determines whether the information to be verified is correct according to the pre-stored identity verification information of the second equipment, and if so, feeds back the connection password of the second equipment to the first equipment.

Specifically, the server stores the identity and the connection password of the second device in advance, and the identity and the connection password can be used as the authentication information of the second device, so that after the server receives the addition request, whether a matched identity exists in the database can be queried according to the identity, if the matched identity exists, the locally stored identity and the locally stored connection password of the second device are encrypted by using the same encryption algorithm, if the obtained operation result is consistent with the information to be authenticated in the addition request, the information to be authenticated is correct, and the connection password of the second device is fed back to the first device, so that the first device is connected with the second device by using the connection password.

In the embodiment, the connection reasonability authentication of the second equipment is completed through the client, the connection safety authentication of the second equipment is completed through the server, and each second equipment needing to be connected with the first equipment has the own connection password, so that the reliability of connection of any second equipment to the first equipment is ensured.

The above embodiment describes the connection process of the two devices from the perspective of the device connection system, and the following description respectively describes the processing processes of the first device and the client by respectively standing at the perspective of the first device and the client.

if the signal intensity of the detection request measured by the first device is greater than the threshold value, sending an addition request to a server, wherein the addition request comprises the identity of the second device and the information to be verified;

and the first equipment receives a connection password of the second equipment, which is fed back by the server when the server determines that the information to be verified is correct according to the prestored identity verification information of the second equipment.

and the first equipment receives a connection password of the second equipment fed back by the server when the server determines that the information to be verified is correct according to the pre-stored identity verification information of the second equipment.

The information to be verified is obtained by encrypting the identity identifier and the connection password of the second equipment; the identity authentication information comprises an identity identifier and a connection password of the second equipment, and the correct information to be authenticated means that the server is consistent with the information to be authenticated on the encryption result of the identity identifier and the connection password which are stored in advance.

In an optional embodiment, the addition request sent to the server may further include an identity of the first device, so that when the server determines that the information to be verified is correct, the server may further add the second device to a device group corresponding to the first device, so as to maintain the device connection condition of the first device.

In practical applications, the identifier of the first device may be a MAC address of the first device, and when the client sends the addition request to the server, the MAC address may be obtained by the client when the client binds to the first device. Optionally, when the client sends the addition request to the server, the identifier of the first device may also be embodied as an identifier of the client, that is, the identifier of the client is indirectly used as the identifier of the first device, because the client and the first device have a binding relationship, the binding relationship may be implemented as a correspondence between the identifier of the client and the identifier of the first device, and the correspondence may be stored in the server in advance, so that the server may determine the identifier of the first device based on the identifier of the client. The identity of the client may be, for example, a mobile phone number registered by the user.

The specific implementation process of each step may refer to the related description in the foregoing embodiment, and is not described herein again.
