Detailed Description
The terminology used in the description of the embodiments section of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application.
Currently, an STA device (Wireless station, network device supporting 802.11 Wireless network protocol) may search for one or more AP devices (Wireless Access Point, Wireless devices providing wifi network Access, such as a router, etc.). However, some STA devices without a keyboard, a camera, a screen, or a manual input function cannot automatically connect to the network of AP devices. If multiple AP devices can be successfully connected, the STA device cannot decide on its own which AP device's network to connect to.
In the related art, the name and password of the AP device are filled in a Beacon frame (one of management frames in wifi protocol, which contains necessary information of wifi network) of the AP device, the Beacon frame is periodically transmitted to surrounding STA devices that wish to connect to the AP device by broadcasting, and the STA devices connect to the network of the AP device by parsing the name and password of the AP device contained in the received Beacon frame. However, in the related art, when the STA device receives beacon frames transmitted by a plurality of AP devices, and the AP devices can be successfully connected, the STA device cannot decide by itself which AP device the network is most suitable for connecting to.
Therefore, the present application provides a network connection method and an electronic device, which enable an STA device to automatically connect to a network of AP devices and to automatically decide which AP device to connect to.
For example, in one embodiment, a first device (e.g., an AP device) may add network state information and a communication identification of the first device to a beacon frame, and then broadcast the beacon frame into the surrounding environment. The second device (e.g., STA device) may include some STA device without a keyboard, camera, screen, or manual input. If the second device (such as the STA device) scans the beacon frame broadcast by one or more first devices, the network of the first device with the optimal network state information (or the network state information meeting the network connection requirement) is selected and connected according to the network state information in the scanned beacon frame and the communication identification.
Fig. 1 is a schematic method diagram of an embodiment of a network connection method according to the present application. The method provided in this embodiment may be applied to a first device (e.g., an AP device), and as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the network connection method may include:
s101, obtaining network state information and a communication identifier of the first device, wherein the communication identifier is used for representing information required by a network connected to the first device.
Specifically, the communication identifier of the first device may include a name of the first device (e.g., SSID, service set identifier, wifi name, etc.) and authentication information (e.g., PSK/PWD, predefined key or password, wifi password, etc.), and the name of the first device and the authentication information may be used to connect to a wifi network provided by the first device.
The network status information may be used to indicate a network status of the first device. The network status information may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a network connection status, a network type, a network uplink speed and a network downlink speed of the first device, a network load level in a preset first time period, and a network disconnection number in a preset second time period.
For example, the network connection status may include "connect", "disconnect", etc. status; the network types can comprise network types such as '5G', 'Ethernet', 'ADSL' and the like; the uplink speed is used for indicating the data transmission rate when the mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone, a computer and the like) sends information to the first equipment, and the downlink speed is used for indicating the data transmission rate when the first equipment sends information to the mobile terminal; the network load level may include a network load rate of the network of the first device over a first period of time (e.g., 15 minutes) in the past; the number of network disconnections may include a number of network disconnections of the first device over a second period of time (e.g., 24 hours) in the past.
S102, adding the communication identifier and the network state information of the first device into a beacon frame of the first device, so that the beacon frame comprises the communication identifier and the network state information of the first device.
Specifically, the Beacon frame (wifi Beacon frame) may include a custom field, such as a Vendor Specific field, and the Vendor Specific field may be used to fill the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device. That is, in step S102, the communication identification of the first device and the network status information may be added to the Vendor Specific field in the beacon frame. The definition of the Vendor Specific field in the beacon frame can refer to IEEE Std 802.11TMSections 9.3.1.1Format of Control frames and 9.3.3.3Beacon frame Format, 2016 (Vision of IEEE Std 802.11-2012). For example, the format of the beacon Frame is as shown in fig. 3, where the Vendor Specific field is located in the Frame Body field of the beacon Frame, and the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device are filled in the Frame Body field. For example, the parameter description of the Frame Body field is shown in table 1 below:
Beacon frame body
Figure BDA0003148302420000061
TABLE 1
As can be seen from Table 1, the Vendor Specific field is located in the last part of the Frame Body field in the beacon Frame.
It should be noted that the communication identifier or the network status information of the first device in the Vendor Specific field in the beacon frame may be encrypted by a pre-negotiated method (e.g., an encryption method negotiated with a second device of the network that desires to connect to the first device) to avoid information leakage. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the Encryption method may include, but is not limited to, aes (advanced Encryption standard) or RSA, and the like.
S103, broadcasting the beacon frame.
The first device may periodically transmit the beacon frame to the surrounding environment by means of broadcasting, such as periodically broadcasting the beacon frame in a periodic manner. The broadcast range of the first device is limited by the transmit power of the first device. Therefore, the second device may obtain, through scanning, a beacon frame broadcasted by one or more first devices in the surrounding environment, and by analyzing the communication identifier and the network status information of the first devices included in the scanned beacon frame, select a target first device whose network status information is optimal or whose network status information meets the network connection requirement, and connect to the network of the target first device according to the communication identifier of the target first device, thereby implementing a network of AP devices to which the STA device can automatically connect, and automatically decide which AP device to connect to.
In one possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 4, after the step S102 of adding the communication identifier of the first device and the network status information to the beacon frame of the first device, the method further includes:
s201, judging whether the sending times of the beacon frame is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value;
s202, if the sending times of the beacon frame is larger than or equal to a preset threshold value, checking whether the network state information of the first equipment changes, and if the network state information of the first equipment changes, updating the network state information in the beacon frame.
The preset threshold is preferably 1. That is, if the number of times of sending the beacon frame (broadcast times) is less than 1, step S102 is executed, if the number of times of sending the beacon frame is greater than or equal to 1, whether the network state information of the first device changes is checked, and if the network state information of the first device changes, the changed network state information is updated to the beacon frame, so that the updated beacon frame is broadcast next time, so that the second device can obtain the changed network state information through the scanned updated beacon frame, thereby improving the network connection success rate. If the network state information of the first device is not changed, the beacon frame does not need to be updated, so that the beacon frame is still broadcast next time.
The first device may periodically check whether the network status information of the first device has changed, e.g., before each broadcast. Further, in step S202, whether the currently detected network state information is consistent with the last detected network state information is compared, and whether the network state information of the first device is changed is determined according to the comparison result, if the currently detected network state information is consistent with the last detected network state information, it is determined that the network state information of the first device is not changed, if the currently detected network state information is not consistent with the last detected network state information, it is determined that the network state information of the first device is changed, the currently detected network state information is updated into the beacon frame, and if the network state information existing in the Vendor Specific field in the beacon frame is deleted, the currently detected network state information is written into the Vendor Specific field in the beacon frame.
It is to be understood that some or all of the steps or operations in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and other operations or variations of various operations may be performed by the embodiments of the present application. Further, the various steps may be performed in a different order presented in the above-described embodiments, and it is possible that not all of the operations in the above-described embodiments are performed.
As shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, another embodiment of the present application provides a network connection method, where the method is applied to a third device, such as a terminal of a mobile phone, a computer, or some device with a function of sending a beacon frame. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the third device establishes a connection (e.g., wifi connection, etc.) with the first device, the third device includes a beacon frame, the first device (e.g., AP device) may send the network status information and the communication identifier of the first device to the third device through the network, and the third device receives the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device sent by the first device, adds the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device to the beacon frame of the third device, and then broadcasts the beacon frame to the surrounding environment. If the second device (such as a STA device) scans a beacon frame broadcast by one or more third devices, a network of the first device with the best network status information (or the network status information meets the network connection requirement) is selected and connected according to the network status information and the communication identifier of the first device in the scanned beacon frame, so that the communication identifier and the network status of the first device are broadcast to the surrounding environment by the third device.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the method may include:
s301, receiving a communication identifier and network state information sent by the first device, wherein the communication identifier is used for representing information required by a network connected to the first device.
Preferably, the third device establishes communication with the first device first, for example, receives the communication identifier and the network status information sent by the first device through wifi communication.
S302, add the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device to the beacon frame of the third device to obtain a beacon frame, so that the beacon frame includes the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device.
Specifically, the format or principle of the beacon frame of the third device may refer to the format or principle of the beacon frame of the first device in step S102 in the embodiment of the method in fig. 1 described above. Unlike the method embodiment of fig. 1 described above, the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device are added to the Vendor Specific field of the beacon frame of the first device in step S102, and the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device are added to the Vendor Specific field of the beacon frame of the third device in step S302.
And S303, broadcasting the beacon frame.
That is, the beacon frame is broadcast to the surrounding environment by the third device, and the first device does not need to broadcast the beacon frame to the surrounding environment, so that the communication identifier and the network state of the first device are directly broadcast to the surrounding environment by the third device, and the compatibility is improved.
Therefore, if the second device scans the beacon frames broadcast by one or more third devices (and/or one or more first devices) in the surrounding environment, the second device can resolve the communication identifiers and the network status information of different first devices from each scanned beacon frame, then select a target first device with optimal network status information or network status information meeting the network connection requirement, and connect to the network of the target first device according to the communication identifier of the target first device, thereby realizing the network of the AP device to which the STA device can automatically connect, and deciding the network connected to which AP device.
In one possible implementation manner, step S303 may include:
and responding to the hotspot operation of starting the third equipment by the user, and broadcasting the beacon frame.
That is to say, the third device has a hotspot function (e.g., a wifi hotspot, etc.), for example, the user may start the hotspot function of the third device, and after the hotspot function is started, the third device broadcasts the beacon frame to the surrounding environment.
It is to be understood that some or all of the steps or operations in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and other operations or variations of various operations may be performed by the embodiments of the present application. Further, the various steps may be performed in a different order presented in the above-described embodiments, and it is possible that not all of the operations in the above-described embodiments are performed.
As shown in fig. 7, an embodiment of the present application provides a network connection method, which is applied to a second device, such as an STA device. As shown in fig. 7, the method may include:
s401, one or more scanned beacon frames are obtained, wherein the beacon frames comprise communication identification and network state information of first equipment, and the communication identification is used for representing information required by a network connected to the first equipment.
Referring to the method embodiments shown in fig. 1 or fig. 5, in step S401, the second device may scan for beacon frames broadcast by one or more first devices and/or beacon frames broadcast by one or more third devices in the surrounding environment.
S402, selecting target first equipment based on the network state information of each first equipment.
For example, the selection condition of the target first device may include whether the network state information of the first device meets the network connection requirement of the second device, or whether the network state information of the first device is optimal, or the like.
In one possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 8, the second device may include a network connection requirement, and step S502 may include:
s501, analyzing the scanned beacon frame;
s502, if the beacon frame is analyzed to contain the communication identifier and the network state information of the first equipment, judging whether the network state information of the first equipment meets the network connection requirement;
s503, if the network state information of the first equipment meets the network connection requirement, selecting target first equipment, wherein the network state information of the target first equipment meets the network connection requirement;
s504, if it is analyzed that the beacon frame does not include the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device, or the network status information of the first device does not satisfy the network connection requirement, analyzing a next scanned beacon frame.
That is, after scanning the beacon frame, the second device parses the scanned beacon frame (for example, parses a Vendor Specific field in the beacon frame), determines whether the beacon frame includes the network status information and the communication identifier of the first device according to a parsing result, and parses a next scanned beacon frame if the beacon frame does not include the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device. If the beacon frame contains the communication identifier and the network state information of the first device, whether the network state information of the first device meets the network connection requirement is judged, if yes, the first device is selected as a target first device, and if not, the next scanned beacon frame is analyzed.
It is understood that the network connection requirement of the second device may be preset according to the network type of the second device or the user requirement, for example, the network connection requirement of the second device may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a network connection status of "connected", a network type of "5G", an uplink speed or a downlink speed not lower than a preset speed value, a network load degree in the past 15 minutes not higher than a preset load value, a network disconnection number in the past 24 hours not higher than a preset number, and the like.
In one possible implementation manner, step S402 may include:
s601, comparing the network state information of a plurality of first devices;
s602, selecting a target first device according to the comparison result, wherein the network state information of the target first device is optimal.
That is, if the second device scans multiple beacon frames, each beacon frame is analyzed to obtain network status information and communication identifiers of multiple first devices, then the network status information of the multiple first devices is compared, and according to a comparison result, the first device with the optimal network status information is selected as the target first device.
For example, the network status information may be optimally expressed as that the network connection status is "connected", the network type is "5G", the uplink speed or the downlink speed is the largest, the network load degree in the past 15 minutes is the lowest, or the network disconnection times in the past 24 hours is not higher than the preset times and the lowest, etc.
It should be noted that, in the process of parsing the beacon frame, if the information in the Vendor Specific field in the beacon frame is encrypted, the second device may decrypt the encrypted information according to a pre-agreed decryption method to parse the communication identifier and the network status information of the first device, which are included in the beacon frame.
S403, connecting to the network of the target first device according to the communication identifier of the target first device.
Therefore, for some second devices (such as STA devices) without keyboard, camera, screen or manual input function, it connects to the network of the target first device according to the SSID and PSK/PWD of the communication identifier of the target first device in the parsed beacon frame, and the network status information of the target first device can meet the network connection requirement of the second device or the network status information of the target first device is optimal.
In one possible implementation manner, after connecting to the network of the target first device in step S403, the method may further include:
s701, checking whether the network state information of the target first equipment meets the network connection requirement of the second equipment;
s702, if the network state information of the target first equipment does not meet the network connection requirement, scanning the beacon frame again, and selecting the first equipment meeting the network connection requirement according to the network state information in the scanned beacon frame again, and connecting to the network of the first equipment meeting the network connection requirement.
That is, after the second device connects to the network of the target first device, if the network status information of the target first device changes, the network communication quality of the second device may be affected. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence on the network communication quality of the second device, after the second device is connected to the target first device, the second device may check (e.g., at intervals) whether the network status information of the target first device meets the network connection requirement of the second device, and if it is checked that the network status information of the target first device still meets the network connection requirement of the second device, the network connection with the target first device is maintained. And if the network state information of the target first equipment does not meet the network connection requirement of the second equipment, scanning one or more beacon frames in the surrounding environment again, analyzing the scanned beacon frames again, and reselecting and connecting to the network of the first equipment meeting the network connection requirement according to the analysis result.
It is understood that if the network state information of other first devices in the surrounding environment cannot satisfy the network connection requirement of the second device, the second device may still maintain the network connection with the target first device. Alternatively, if the network status information of a certain first device in the surrounding environment is better than the network status information of the target first device, the second device may switch the network connected to the first device whose network status information is better.
It is to be understood that some or all of the steps or operations in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and other operations or variations of various operations may be performed by the embodiments of the present application. Further, the various steps may be performed in a different order presented in the above-described embodiments, and it is possible that not all of the operations in the above-described embodiments are performed.
