When the server is software, it may be implemented as multiple pieces of software or software modules (e.g., to provide distributed services), or as a single piece of software or software module. And is not particularly limited herein.
It should be understood that the number of mobile terminals, networks, and servers in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of mobile terminals, networks, and servers, as desired for implementation.
With continued reference to fig. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a wireless access point connection method for a mobile terminal according to the present application is shown. The process 200 of the wireless access point connection method for the mobile terminal comprises the following steps:
In the present embodiment, the execution subject of the wireless access point connection method for a mobile terminal (e.g., mobile terminals 101, 102, 103 shown in fig. 1) may acquire current location information in response to the wireless access point being disconnected. Wherein the location information may be represented in latitude and longitude coordinates.
As an example, the execution subject may be locally pre-installed with a Global Positioning System (GPS), and the execution subject may acquire current location information using the GPS.
In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, the execution main body may obtain location information of a target base station of a current communication connection, and the execution main body may use the location information as its current location information. Here, the execution main body may locally store the location information of the target base station in advance, so the execution main body may locally acquire the location information. The location information may be obtained by the execution main body when registering with the target base station.
In this embodiment, after the execution main body obtains the location information, the execution main body may search for the location information of the wireless access point matching the location information in a pre-stored set of location information of the wireless access point. Wherein the wireless access point location information may be pre-associated with the wireless access point identity. The location information of the wireless access point may be information of a location where the execution body connects to the wireless access point indicated by the wireless access point identifier.
In practice, the executing body may record the position (for example, the position indicated by latitude and longitude coordinates) of the wireless access point in response to the successful connection of the wireless access point, and may put the recorded position as the wireless access point position information into the wireless access point position information set, at the time of connecting a new wireless access point or each time of connecting a wireless access point. The executing body can use GPS to locate the position of the executing body. Alternatively, the execution body may take the position of the base station that is currently in communication connection as the position where the base station is currently located.
In this embodiment, if the location information and the wireless access point location information acquired in step 201 are both location information obtained by using GPS positioning, the execution main body may search for wireless access point location information that is consistent with the acquired location information in the wireless access point location information set, and if the wireless access point location information is found, the execution main body may determine the found wireless access point location information as the wireless access point location information that is matched with the acquired location information.
It should be noted that, by searching the wireless access point location information set for the wireless access point location information matching the acquired location information, the execution subject determines whether there is a connectable wireless access point in the first preset area. The first preset area may be an area covered by a base station where the execution subject currently performs communication connection, or an area defined by a range with a radius of a preset length (for example, 100 meters or 200 meters) and a position where the execution subject currently locates as a center. The first preset area may be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this aspect at all.
If the execution main body does not find the wireless access point position information matched with the acquired position information, the execution main body can determine that no connectable wireless access point exists in the first preset area, and the execution main body can not acquire a wireless access point list formed by the wireless access points in the first preset area and scan the wireless access point list. Since the wireless access point list is scanned and power is consumed, the frequent scanning of the wireless access point list can be avoided by performing step 202, and thus the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be effectively reduced.
In this embodiment, the executing body may obtain a wireless access point list composed of wireless access points in the first preset area in response to finding the wireless access point location information matching the obtained location information. The executing entity may obtain the wireless access point list from a connected server (for example, the server 105 shown in fig. 1), or may detect the wireless access point in the first preset area by using a preset WI-FI chip, so as to obtain the wireless access point list.
And step 204, selecting a wireless access point from the wireless access point list for connection.
In this embodiment, the execution subject may select a wireless access point from the acquired list of wireless access points to connect to. As an example, the executing entity may extract a previously connected wireless access point from the wireless access point list based on a wireless access point identifier associated with the wireless access point location information in the wireless access point location information set, and then may select a wireless access point with a stronger signal strength from the extracted wireless access points as a target wireless access point. Finally, the executing agent may obtain a password of the target wireless access point from a local place, and connect the wireless access point using the password.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the executing entity may obtain a password of at least one wireless access point in the wireless access point list (e.g., a previously connected wireless access point). The executing entity may then select (e.g., randomly select, etc.) a wireless access point from the at least one wireless access point as a target wireless access point, and connect the target wireless access point using the password of the target wireless access point.
With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the wireless access point connection method for a mobile terminal according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, the wireless access point connection of the smart phone of the user is set to an on state. When the wireless access point is disconnected, the smart phone may obtain the current location information thereof as shown by reference numeral 301. Then, as indicated by reference numeral 302, the smart phone may search, in a locally pre-stored wireless access point location information set, for wireless access point location information matching the obtained location information, where the wireless access point location information may be pre-associated with a wireless access point identifier, and a wireless access point indicated by the wireless access point identifier is a wireless access point to which the smart phone has been previously connected. Then, as indicated by reference numeral 303, in response to finding the wireless access point location information that matches the obtained location information, the smartphone may obtain a wireless access point list composed of wireless access points within a domain defined by a range having a radius of 200 meters and centered at the location indicated by the obtained location information. Then, as indicated by reference numeral 304, the smart phone may select a previously connected wireless access point with strong signal strength from the wireless access point list for connection based on the wireless access point identifier associated with the wireless access point location information in the wireless access point location information set.
In the method provided by the above embodiment of the application, the current location information of the mobile terminal is acquired, then the location information of the wireless access point matched with the location information is searched in the pre-stored location information set of the wireless access point, and then the wireless access point list composed of the wireless access points in the first preset area is acquired in response to the searched location information of the wireless access point matched with the location information, so that the wireless access point is selected from the wireless access point list for connection. Therefore, frequent scanning of the wireless access point list is avoided, and automatic connection of the wireless access points can be realized under the condition of reducing the power consumption of the mobile terminal.
With further reference to fig. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of a wireless access point connection method for a mobile terminal is shown. The process 400 of the wireless access point connection method for mobile terminals includes the following steps:
step 401, searching base station information including a base station identifier of a target base station in a pre-stored base station information set, and using position information in the searched base station information as current position information of the mobile terminal.
In this embodiment, an executing subject of the wireless access point connection method for a mobile terminal (e.g., mobile terminals 101, 102, 103 shown in fig. 1) may search for base station information including a base station identification of a target base station in a preset base station information set in response to disconnection of a wireless access point. The execution main body may locally pre-store the base station information set and the base station identifier of the target base station. The base station information may include a base station identification and location information corresponding to the base station identification (location information of the base station indicated by the base station identification). The target base station may be the base station performing the current communication connection of the subject as described above. Since the location information in the base station information including the base station identifier of the target base station is the location information of the target base station, the execution main body may use the location information in the searched base station information as its current location information.
It should be noted that, the base station information in the base station information set may be acquired by the executing entity by performing the following acquisition operations:
first, the executing entity may determine whether the base station information of the base station in the area indicated by the currently associated area identifier is stored locally in response to detecting that the area identifier associated with the executing entity is changed. Here, the area indicated by the area identification may be an area divided by province, city, or county, etc. The area indicated by the area identifier currently associated with the execution main body may refer to an area where the execution main body is currently located. It should be noted that the base station information in the base station information set may be associated with the area identifier in advance. The executing agent may search for a currently associated area identifier from area identifiers associated with base station information in a stored base station information set, and if the currently associated area identifier is found, the executing agent may determine that the base station information of a base station in an area indicated by a locally stored currently associated area identifier; otherwise, the executing entity may determine that the base station information of the base station in the area is not locally stored.
Then, the execution main body may download the base station information of the base station in the area from the connected base station information storage-use server side in response to determining that the base station information of the base station in the area indicated by the currently associated area identification is not stored locally, and store the downloaded base station information. E.g., by attributing the downloaded base station information to a local set of base station information.
It should be noted that, by performing the above-mentioned obtaining operation, it can be ensured that, after a user arrives at an area (e.g. province, city, county, etc.), the mobile terminal of the user stores the base station information of the base stations in the area. In addition, the acquiring operation may be performed by the executing entity in a state where the executing entity has accessed the wireless access point and is charging. Therefore, the mobile data flow of the user and the electric quantity of the mobile terminal can be effectively avoided from being wasted.
Step 402, searching the position information of the wireless access point, the distance between which and the current position information of the mobile terminal is not more than the preset distance, in the pre-stored position information set of the wireless access point.
In this embodiment, after obtaining the location information, the executing entity may search, in a pre-stored wireless access point location information set, for wireless access point location information whose distance from the current location information is not greater than a preset distance (e.g., 100 meters, etc.). The wireless access point position information set can be pre-stored locally in the execution main body. The wireless access point location information may be represented in latitude and longitude coordinates. In addition, the preset distance may be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this aspect at all.
As an example, for any piece of wireless access point location information, the executing entity may invoke a preset interface for calculating the distance between the longitude and latitude coordinates to calculate the distance between the wireless access point location information and the current location information. The performing agent may then compare the distance to a predetermined distance (e.g., 100 meters, etc.) to determine whether the distance is greater than the predetermined distance. Then, the executing entity may determine that the location information of the wireless access point is the location information of the wireless access point matching the current location information in response to determining that the distance is not greater than the preset distance, and the executing entity may end the search process and go to execute step 403.
Step 403, in response to the wireless access point position information that is found to have a distance with the current position information of the mobile terminal not greater than the preset distance, obtaining a wireless access point list composed of wireless access points in the first preset area.
In this embodiment, the executing entity may obtain the wireless access point list composed of the wireless access points in the first preset area in response to finding the wireless access point location information whose distance from the current location information is not greater than the preset distance. The first preset area may be an area covered by a base station where the execution subject currently performs communication connection, or an area defined by a range with a radius of a preset length (for example, 100 meters or 200 meters) and a position where the execution subject currently locates as a center. The first preset area may be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this aspect at all.
Step 404, selecting a wireless access point from the wireless access point list for connection.
In this embodiment, the execution subject may select a wireless access point from the acquired list of wireless access points to connect to. As an example, the executing entity may extract a previously connected wireless access point from the wireless access point list based on a wireless access point identifier associated with the wireless access point location information in the wireless access point location information set, and then may select a wireless access point with a stronger signal strength from the extracted wireless access points as a target wireless access point. Finally, the executing agent may obtain a password of the target wireless access point from a local place, and connect the wireless access point using the password.
As can be seen from fig. 4, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, the flow 400 of the wireless access point connection method for a mobile terminal in this embodiment highlights a step of determining current location information of the mobile terminal by using a pre-stored base station information set and a base station identifier of a target base station; searching wireless access point position information of which the distance from the current position information of the mobile terminal is not more than a preset distance in a pre-stored wireless access point position information set; and a step of acquiring a wireless access point list composed of wireless access points in a first preset area in response to the wireless access point position information, the distance between which and the current position information of the mobile terminal is not greater than a preset distance, being found. Therefore, the scheme described in the embodiment can realize the positioning of the position of the mobile terminal under the condition of not using the GPS and the mobile data traffic of the user. And the wireless access point position information with the distance between the wireless access point position information and the current position information of the mobile terminal not greater than the preset distance is searched in the pre-stored wireless access point position information set, so that frequent scanning of a wireless access point list can be effectively avoided, the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be reduced, and the automatic connection of the wireless access points can be realized.
