Description

Method for providing wireless fidelity network access service and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for providing wireless fidelity network access service and an electronic device.

Background

With the development of smart home technology, a family often has a plurality of electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones, smart televisions, smart speakers, etc.) capable of communicating with each other. These electronic devices may access a wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, wiFi) network through a router, thereby accessing the internet. In order for a user to join an electronic device to a Wi-Fi network created by a router, the following steps are typically required: the steps of starting the WiFi switch, searching surrounding available Wi-Fi networks, selecting the SSID of the router and inputting the password are complicated.

Electronic devices supporting near field communication (Near Field Communication, NFC) functions currently on the market can connect to a WiFi network by touching an NFC-enabled router without entering an SSID password (this operation is simply referred to as "one touch connection"), thus reducing the cumbersome operation of a user to enter a password to connect Wi-Fi.

The Wi-Fi network can adopt an Open mode (Open), namely, encryption is not performed at all, any person can connect to the router to use the network, a newly purchased router of a user is in the Open mode after being powered on, the user must manually set an encryption mode to ensure the safety of communication, and the currently mainstream encryption modes comprise WEP, WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.

In the prior art, when a WiFi network created by a router is in an Open mode, a device (simply referred to as an android device) carrying an android operating system performs a bump operation, and the code processing logic of the native android device has a problem, so that an encryption mode of the WiFi network is erroneously identified as a WPA2 type authentication mode, and the android device cannot be connected with the WiFi network in the Open mode created by the router. In order to solve the problem, the android manufacturer can choose to adopt a patch upgrading mode, but the patch upgrading mode cannot cover all models of the android manufacturer, because the patch upgrading rate of the android manufacturer is generally low, the upgrading rate of a new model is basically high, and the performance of an old product is poor. The patch effect is too implicit for the consumer to perceive obviously, so the importance is not enough, and even many consumers are not aware of the patch effect. Patch upgrades for vendors require patch development for all models, which presents a high challenge to vendor personnel. Therefore, there is a need to provide a solution that solves the problem of android devices in addition to patch upgrades that can also perform a touch-connect WiFi when the WiFi is OPEN mode.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a wireless fidelity WiFi network access service method, which improves the success rate of the android device in-touch connection with a router.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the application adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, the present application provides a method for providing a WiFi network access service, the method comprising: the method comprises the steps that first electronic equipment detects whether a configured first WiFi network is encrypted or not; when a first WiFi network configured by the first electronic equipment is not encrypted, a hidden WiFi network is created; the first electronic device sends the first configuration information of the hidden WiFi network to the second electronic device in a Near Field Communication (NFC) mode; the first electronic equipment acquires a first access request aiming at the hidden WiFi network and sent by the second electronic equipment; and responding to the first access request, and establishing communication connection between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment.

In the above method, the first electronic device (e.g., a router) may detect whether the unencrypted first WiFi network is configured, create a hidden WiFi network if the unencrypted first WiFi network is detected to be configured, and send configuration information of the hidden WiFi network to the second electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone or a smart speaker). The second electronic device may then touch the first electronic device, read configuration information (e.g., SSID and password) of the hidden WiFi network via NFC, and access the hidden WiFi network for communication. Assuming that the first electronic device has an OPEN mode first WiFi network enabled after power-up (e.g., the first electronic device has an unencrypted first WiFi network enabled according to factory settings after first power-up, or the first electronic device has an unencrypted first WiFi network configured by the user), it is a hidden WiFi network that is encrypted and invisible to other devices (i.e., other devices cannot scan the SSID of the hidden WiFi network) that the user holds the second electronic device in touch with the first electronic device. Therefore, the problem of connection failure mentioned in the background art part can not be generated, the problem can be solved without upgrading patches by the first electronic equipment carrying the android operating system, and the user experience is remarkably improved.

In one possible implementation, the configuration information of the hidden WiFi network includes at least one of a name or a password of the hidden WiFi network. Therefore, the user touches the encrypted WiFi network through the second electronic equipment, so that the problem of connection failure mentioned in the background art part is not triggered, and the user experience is improved.

In one possible implementation, the second electronic device is loaded with an android operating system, and of course, the second electronic device may also be loaded with other operating systems, such as ios operating systems.

In one possible implementation manner, when a first WiFi network configured by a first electronic device is encrypted, the first electronic device sends second configuration information of the first WiFi network to a second electronic device through a near field communication NFC manner, and then the first electronic device obtains a second access request for the first WiFi network sent by the second electronic device based on the second configuration information; and responding to the second access request, and establishing communication connection between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment for communication.

In one possible implementation manner, the second electronic device may send third configuration information of the WiFi network to the first electronic device through NFC, and the first electronic device creates a WiFi network according to the third configuration information of the WiFi network. According to the method, a user can set configuration information of the WiFi network in the second electronic device, then the configuration information of the WiFi network is sent to the first electronic device through NFC by touching the first electronic device, and the first electronic device creates a WiFi network by using the configuration information of the WiFi network. The second electronic device may then connect directly to the WiFi network created by the first electronic device.

In one possible implementation manner, the second electronic device sends the second configuration information of the first WiFi network to the third electronic device through the NFC manner, and then the third electronic device may create the WiFi network according to the second configuration information of the first WiFi network. According to the method, the second electronic device can transmit the configuration information of the first WiFi network of the first electronic device to the third electronic device in a mode that the second electronic device touches the first electronic device firstly and then touches the third electronic device.

In one possible implementation, the first configuration information of the hidden WiFi network is sent to the second electronic device in an unencrypted manner.

The photosensitive element may be a charge coupled device (charge coupled device, CCD) or a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then transferred to the ISP to be converted into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV, or the like format. In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 106 may include 1 or N cameras 193, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

For example, files such as music, video, etc. are stored in an external memory card.

The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer executable program code including instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications of the mobile terminal 106 and data processing by executing instructions stored in the internal memory 121.

In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may be disposed in the processor 110, or a portion of the functional modules of the audio module 170 may be disposed in the processor 110.

The speaker 170A, also referred to as a "horn," is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. The mobile terminal 106 may listen to music, or to hands-free calls, through the speaker 170A.

The following will describe in detail a router access method provided by an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. To implement a Wi-Fi network created by the electronic device access router 108, fig. 3 shows a signaling diagram of a WiFi network created by the mobile terminal 106 access router 108.

Referring to fig. 3, in step 302, the router 108 detects whether the first WiFi network is encrypted, and the encryption manner of the WiFi network includes any of the following: OPEN mode (i.e. "not encrypted"), WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Step 316 is performed if the first WiFi network is encrypted; step 304 is performed if the first WiFi network is not encrypted. The first WiFi network may be a WiFi network configured by the router 108 itself, for example, a WiFi network created after the first power-on and startup after the router 108 leaves the factory.

Generally, when a router newly purchased by a user is powered on for the first time, wiFi is in an open mode, so that the user can conveniently access and configure the name (SSID) and the password of the WiFi network. The router will also be in open mode after restoring factory settings (i.e., resetting the router) and the user needs to reset the name (SSID) and password of the WiFi network. Thus, in one implementation, step 302 may be replaced with: the router 108 detects whether it is in a factory state to determine whether the first WiFi network is encrypted. For example, the factory state stored by the router 108 is a boolean value factory_status, and when factory_status is true, it represents that the router 108 is in a factory state (i.e., it represents WiFi is not encrypted), and when factory_status is false, it represents that the router 108 is in a non-factory state. The router 108, after power up, determines that the first WiFi network is not encrypted by detecting that the factory_status flag is true.

In step 304, router 108 creates a hidden WiFi network. In one implementation, router 108 generates configuration information for the hidden WiFi network, including a network name and a password. For example, router 108 may randomly generate configuration information for the hidden WiFi network according to certain rules.

In step 306, the mobile terminal 106 approaches the router NFC tag area. In one implementation, the NFC read-write area of the router 108 is labeled to prompt the user to get close to the router to achieve a "one touch" (i.e., touching the router in NFC to achieve the purpose of connecting WiFi), the user can hold the mobile terminal 106 close to the area to which the label is attached, depending on the label location.

In step 308, the mobile terminal 106 requests to obtain WiFi network configuration information. In one implementation, the mobile terminal 106 sends a request message to the router requesting to read the WiFi network configuration information.

In step 310, the NFC module of router 108 reads the hidden WiFi network configuration information. Router 108 has two WiFi SSIDs, one being the SSID of the first WiFi network and the other being the SSID of the hidden WiFi network created at step 304. In step 310, the NFC module of the router 108 obtains the configuration information of the hidden WiFi network created in step 304, instead of the SSID of the first WiFi network. Therefore, the problem of failure of the connection router in the background technology is avoided, and the SSID of the hidden WiFi network cannot be scanned by the user side, so that the user does not feel the action of creating the hidden WiFi network by the router.

In one implementation, step 302 may also be performed again between steps 308 and 310 to detect whether the first WiFi network is encrypted, step 310 is performed after determining that the first WiFi network is not encrypted, and steps 316 and 318 are performed after determining that the first WiFi network is encrypted. In this way, the router 108 may detect whether the first WiFi network configured once after the power-on starts working is encrypted, and after obtaining the request message of the mobile terminal 106 for reading the WiFi network configuration information, determine whether the first WiFi network is encrypted again, and execute step 310 after determining that the first WiFi network is not encrypted. This ensures that the mobile terminal 106 can connect to the encrypted WiFi network.

In step 312, the router 108 returns configuration information for the hidden WiFi network to the mobile terminal 106. For example, the router 108 returns configuration information of the hidden WiFi network to the mobile terminal 106 via NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message data. In one implementation, the router 108 sends the configuration information of the hidden WiFi network to the mobile terminal 106 in the clear (i.e., without encrypting the configuration information of the hidden WiFi network) via NFC.

In step 314, the mobile terminal 106 connects to the hidden WiFi network, enabling a successful access router.

In some embodiments, step 314 may be preceded by the steps of: the mobile terminal 106 displays a first user interface (e.g., the user interface 400 shown in fig. 4) in response to the configuration information of the hidden WiFi network acquired in step 312. The first user interface contains a prompt box 402, where prompt box 402 contains the prompt "whether to connect to a network (network SSID, SSID in the example being" HUAWEI-07AW-NFC ")? ", connect button 404, cancel button 406. A user clicking on the connect button 404 may connect to the network "HUAWEI-07AW-NFC" and a user clicking on the cancel button 406 may cancel the operation.

In step 316, the router 108 sends the configuration information of the first WiFi network to the mobile terminal 106 via NFC. In some implementations, the following steps are also included before step 316: the mobile terminal 106 sends a request message to obtain the configuration information of the first WiFi network through NFC (provided that the mobile terminal 106 needs to be close to the router 108).

In step 318, router 108 establishes a WiFi connection with mobile terminal 106.

By the method shown in fig. 3 above, the situation is addressed where the user configures the first WiFi network in OPEN mode for router 108, or where router 108 creates the first WiFi network for the first power-up use of the new purchase. The router 108 can automatically create a hidden WiFi network, and send configuration information of the hidden WiFi network to the mobile terminal 106 through NFC after the mobile terminal 106 touches the router 108, so that the mobile terminal 106 can be connected to the hidden WiFi network, and further, the security of WiFi connection is improved, and the problem of connection failure mentioned in the background art part can be avoided, so that the success rate of connecting the router is improved.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 106 may also set the WiFi name and password of the router 108 through NFC. As shown in fig. 5, the mobile terminal 106 displays a WiFi interface 502, inputs a network name (SSID) 506 and a password 508 on the interface 502, and then clicks a next step 510 to enter a prompt interface 504, where the interface 504 includes a prompt "please get close to the router to complete WiFi configuration". The user brings the mobile terminal 106 close to the router NFC read/write area according to the prompt, and the mobile terminal 106 sends the WiFi name and password to the router 108 through NFC. The router 108 then creates a WiFi network from the received WiFi name and password, and the mobile terminal 106 can then automatically connect to the WiFi network without touching the router again.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 106 may also clone the WiFi configuration information of the router through NFC, i.e., copy the WiFi configuration information of one router to another router, to achieve synchronization of the WiFi configuration information of both routers. For example, as shown in fig. 6, a user may have multiple routers (e.g., router 602 and router 108) in his home, and the user may use the mobile terminal 106 to obtain the WiFi configuration information of the router 108 through NFC, and then send the WiFi configuration information of the router 108 to the router 602 by approaching the mobile terminal to the router 602, so as to achieve synchronization of the configuration information of the router.
