As shown in fig. 2, the present invention provides a network distribution method for an intelligent device, which can be applied to the mobile terminal 300, and includes the following steps:

step 202, obtaining the service set identification selected by the user and the access password input by the user.

The Service Set Identifier is an SSID (Service Set Identifier). The SSID technology can divide a wireless local area network into a plurality of sub-networks which need different authentication, each sub-network needs independent authentication, and only users who pass the authentication can enter the corresponding sub-network, so that unauthorized users are prevented from entering the network.

The access password refers to a password which is input by a user and used for identity authentication.

When the mobile terminal displays a service set identification list consisting of a plurality of service set identifications of the wireless network equipment, the user selects one of the service set identifications from the plurality of service set identifications and inputs an access password corresponding to the service set identification.

In this embodiment, the acquiring the service set identifier selected by the user and the access password input by the user further includes: scanning a wireless signal sent by wireless network equipment to obtain a plurality of service set identifications, physical addresses corresponding to the service set identifications and signal frequency bands corresponding to the service set identifications; and correspondingly storing a plurality of service set identifications, physical addresses corresponding to the service set identifications and signal frequency bands corresponding to the service set identifications.

The physical Address refers to a Media Access Control (MAC) Address, also called a Local Area Network (LAN) Address, a MAC Address or an Ethernet Address, and is an Address for confirming the location of the network device. In the OSI model, a third layer network layer is responsible for IP addresses and a second layer data link layer is responsible for MAC addresses. The MAC address is used to uniquely identify a network card in the network, and if a device has one or more wireless network cards, each network card needs to have a unique MAC address.

When the intelligent device needs to be accessed to a network, a mobile terminal is required to scan a wireless signal sent by a wireless network device. By scanning wireless signals sent by wireless network equipment, a plurality of service set identifiers, physical addresses corresponding to the service set identifiers and signal frequency bands corresponding to the service set identifiers can be obtained. After the scanning is finished, the mobile terminal correspondingly stores the plurality of service set identifications, the physical addresses corresponding to the plurality of service set identifications and the signal frequency bands corresponding to the plurality of service set identifications, and displays a service set identification list consisting of the plurality of service set identifications on a display device of the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal data may be stored in the form of a table, as shown in table 1. At this time, the wireless network device can send out a wireless network with a frequency band of 2.4GHz and a wireless network with a frequency band of 5 GHz. The service set identifier myAP1 and the service set identifier myAP2 are service set identifiers of the same wireless network device in a 2.4GHz frequency band and a 5GHz frequency band respectively, and the physical address 123456789011 and the physical address 123456789012 are physical addresses of the same wireless network device in the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 5GHz frequency band respectively. The service set identifier test1 and the service set identifier test2 are service set identifiers of another wireless network device in the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band, and the physical address 3048B0EF3288 and the physical address 3048B0EF3289 are physical addresses of another wireless network device in the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band. It can be understood that, as shown in table 1, the same wireless network device has the characteristics that the first n identifiers are consistent between the physical addresses in the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band, respectively. Illustratively, the physical addresses of the same wireless network device in the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band are 123456789011 and 123456789012, respectively, the first 11 identifiers of the two are the same, and only the last identifier is different.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal scans a wireless network with a frequency band of 2.4GHz to obtain a service set identifier myAP1, a service set identifier test1, and a physical address 123456789011 and a physical address 3048B0EF3288 which correspond to the service set identifier myAP1 and the service set identifier test1, respectively; the mobile terminal scans a wireless network with a frequency band of 5GHz to obtain a service set identifier myAP2, a service set identifier test2, and a physical address 123456789012 and a physical address 3048B0EF3289, which respectively correspond to the service set identifier myAP2 and the service set identifier test 2. After the scanning is finished, the mobile terminal stores the data into the table 1. It can be understood that, in practical application, the wireless network device may send out wireless networks of multiple frequency bands, and scan the wireless network of each frequency band to obtain multiple service set identifiers.

TABLE 1

Serial number	SSID (service set identification)	MAC address (physical address)	Frequency band of signals
				1	myAP1	123456789011	2.4GHz
2	myAP2	123456789012	5GHz
				3	test1	3048B0EF3288	2.4GHz
4	test2	3048B0EF3289	5GHz

In this embodiment, by correspondingly storing the plurality of service set identifiers, the physical addresses corresponding to the plurality of service set identifiers, and the signal frequency bands corresponding to the plurality of service set identifiers, the physical addresses corresponding to the plurality of service set identifiers and the signal frequency bands corresponding to the plurality of service set identifiers can be quickly and accurately searched, and the distribution network speed of the intelligent device is increased.

Step 204, if the signal frequency band corresponding to the service set identifier is a first signal frequency band in which the intelligent device cannot establish wireless connection with the wireless network device, determining a first physical address corresponding to the service set identifier, where the first physical address is a physical address of the wireless network device corresponding to the service set identifier in the first signal frequency band.

If one wireless network device has one or more wireless network cards, each network card has a unique physical address, and different physical addresses are used for entering different wireless networks. Meanwhile, different wireless networks may have different names, i.e., different service set identifications.

The service set identifier corresponding to the physical address means that the wireless network represented by the service set identifier can be determined through the service set identifier, and the physical address of the wireless network device is determined.

The service set identifier corresponding to the wireless network device means that the wireless network device of the wireless network represented by the service set identifier can be determined through the service set identifier.

After the mobile terminal displays a service set identification list consisting of a plurality of service set identifications of the wireless network equipment, a user can select one service set identification from the service set identification list for wireless connection. Under normal conditions, however, when selecting a service set identifier, a user cannot determine whether a signal frequency band corresponding to the service set identifier is a signal frequency band in which the intelligent device can establish wireless connection with the wireless network device. If the signal frequency band corresponding to the service set identifier selected by the user is the first signal frequency band in which the intelligent device cannot establish wireless connection with the wireless network device, determining a first physical address corresponding to the service set identifier, namely determining a first physical address of the wireless network device corresponding to the service set identifier under the first signal frequency band, wherein the service set identifier is one of a plurality of service set identifiers of the wireless network device. Step 206 may be performed after the first physical address is determined.

Step 206, according to the first physical address, a second physical address matched with the first physical address is searched, and a first access data group is generated according to the second physical address and the access password, wherein the second physical address is a physical address of the wireless network device corresponding to the service set identifier under a second signal frequency band, and the second signal frequency band is a signal frequency band in which the intelligent device can establish wireless connection with the wireless network device.

The access data group refers to a data group which is sent to the intelligent device by the mobile terminal, so that the intelligent device can be successfully connected with the wireless network device.

And recording a signal frequency band in which the intelligent device can establish wireless connection with the wireless network device as a second signal frequency band, and recording a physical address of the wireless network device corresponding to the service set identifier under the second signal frequency band as a second physical address.

The first n physical addresses of the same wireless network device in the first signal frequency band and the second physical addresses of the wireless network device in the second signal frequency band have the same characteristic of the first n identifiers. After the first physical address is determined, a second physical address matched with the first physical address can be searched according to the first physical address, and the second physical address and an access password input by a user are further combined into a first access data set. At this time, the second physical address in the first access data group is a second signal frequency band in which the intelligent device can establish wireless connection with the wireless network device, that is, a physical address in the signal frequency band which can be supported by the intelligent device, and the intelligent device can access the wireless network in the second signal frequency band according to the first access data group.

In this embodiment, the signal frequency band in which the smart device can establish a wireless connection with the wireless network device is also referred to as a signal frequency band that the smart device can support. Taking the example that the intelligent device can only support the wireless network with the frequency band of 2.4GHz and cannot support the wireless network with the frequency band of 5GHz, the wireless network device has the characteristics that the first ten identifiers are the same between the physical address of the wireless network device under the frequency band of 2.4GHz and the physical address of the wireless network device under the frequency band of 5 GHz. As shown in table 2, if the service set identifier selected by the user is myAP4, and the signal frequency band corresponding to the service set identifier myAP4 is 5GHz that cannot be supported by the smart device, at this time, the mobile terminal determines the physical address 123456789014 corresponding to the service set identifier myAP4, and then determines the physical address 123456789013 corresponding to the physical address 123456789014 at the frequency band of 5GHz at the frequency band of 2.4GHz according to the fact that the physical address at the frequency band of 2.4GHz and the physical address at the frequency band of 5GHz have the same characteristics as the first ten identifiers; then, the mobile terminal replaces the physical address 123456789014 with the frequency band of 5GHz with the physical address 123456789013 with the frequency band of 2.4GHz, the physical address 123456789013 with the frequency band of 2.4GHz and the access password input by the user form a first access data group, and the intelligent device can access the wireless network with the frequency band of 2.4GHz by using the first access data group.

TABLE 2

Serial number	SSID (service set identification)	MAC address (physical address)	Frequency band of signals
				1	myAP3	123456789013	2.4GHz
2	myAP4	123456789014	5GHz
				3	Test3	3048B0EF3286	2.4GHz
4	Test4	3048B0EF3287	5GHz

In this embodiment, the first n identifiers of the physical addresses of the same wireless network device in the first signal frequency band and the second signal frequency band are the same; the searching for the second physical address matched with the first physical address according to the first physical address includes: reading the first n identifiers of the first physical address; and determining target physical addresses with the first n identifications consistent with the first n identifications of the first physical address from the physical addresses corresponding to the service set identifications respectively, and taking the target physical addresses as second physical addresses.

Wherein, the identifier contained in the physical address can be at least one of a numeric identifier, a symbolic identifier and an alphabetic identifier.

Wherein n can be preset, and the user can set the value of n according to the actual technical development process and technical means. For example, when n is ten, the first n identifiers of the physical address refer to the first ten identifiers of the physical address, and after the first physical address is determined, the first ten identifiers of the first physical address may be read, so as to obtain a second physical address whose first ten identifiers are the same as the first ten identifiers of the first physical address.

The service set identifiers and the physical addresses corresponding to the service set identifiers are stored in a preset storage unit, and specifically, the storage unit may be in a form of file storage or the like. It is understood that the file store may be a data table.

In this embodiment, the preset data table is used to store a plurality of service set identifiers and respective corresponding physical addresses of the plurality of service set identifiers, as shown in table 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, one physical address of the wireless network device in the frequency band of 2.4GHz is matched with one physical address in the frequency band of 5 GHz. Illustratively, the physical address 123456789013 of the wireless network device under the frequency band of 2.4GHz is the same as the first ten identifiers of the physical address 123456789014 under the frequency band of 5GHz, and the two identifiers are matched; the physical address 3048B0EF3286 of the wireless network device at the frequency band of 2.4GHz is the same as the first ten identifiers of the physical address 3048B0EF3287 at the frequency band of 5GHz, and the two identifiers are matched.

In this embodiment, when the same wireless network device has more than two signal frequency bands, the first n identifiers of the physical address of the wireless network device in the multiple signal frequency bands may be the same or different. For example, if the same network device further has a third signal frequency band, the first n identifiers of the physical address of the wireless network device in the third signal frequency band and the first signal frequency band may be the same or different, and the first n identifiers of the physical address of the wireless network device in the third signal frequency band and the second signal frequency band may be the same or different.

And 208, under the condition that the communication connection is established with the intelligent device, sending the first access data group to the intelligent device through the communication connection, so that the intelligent device establishes wireless connection with the wireless network device by using the first access data group.

After finding out a second physical address of the wireless network equipment corresponding to a second signal frequency band which can establish wireless connection with the wireless network equipment by the intelligent equipment according to the first physical address, the first physical address can be replaced by the second physical address, and a first access data group is formed by the second physical address and an access password input by a user.

It should be noted that, the above-mentioned wireless connection and communication connection both refer to that data interaction can be performed between multiple devices through various forms of wireless networks, and the wireless networks used for the wireless connection and the communication connection may be the same or different, for example, the wireless connection may be Wi-Fi, and the communication connection may be bluetooth.

Wherein, the smart machine can have the communication network module, can send the wireless network of fixed frequency channel, and mobile terminal establishes communication connection with the smart machine through the wireless network that connects the smart machine and send. It will be appreciated that in practical applications, the wireless network may be bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC (Near Field Communication), infrared, etc. And the mobile terminal sends the first access data group to the intelligent equipment through the communication connection under the condition of establishing communication connection with the intelligent equipment, and the intelligent equipment establishes wireless connection with the wireless network equipment through the first access data group. Illustratively, the mobile terminal replaces the physical address 123456789014 with the frequency band of 5GHz with the physical address 123456789013 with the frequency band of 2.4GHz, uses the physical address 123456789013 with the frequency band of 2.4GHz and the access password input by the user to form a first access data group, the mobile terminal sends the first access data group to the smart device through the communication connection, and the smart device can access the wireless network with the frequency band of 2.4GHz by using the first access data group. At this time, the user sets the same password for the wireless network with the frequency band of 5GHz and the wireless network with the frequency band of 2.4GHz of the same wireless network device.

In one embodiment, the network distribution method of the intelligent device further includes: if the signal frequency band corresponding to the service set identifier is the second signal frequency band, determining a third physical address corresponding to the service set identifier, and generating a second access data group according to the third physical address and the access password, wherein the third physical address is a physical address of the wireless network device corresponding to the service set identifier in the second signal frequency band; and under the condition of establishing communication connection with the intelligent equipment, the second access data group is sent to the intelligent equipment through the communication connection, so that the intelligent equipment establishes wireless connection with the wireless network equipment by using the second access data group.

When the signal frequency band corresponding to the service set identifier selected by the user is a second signal frequency band in which the intelligent device can establish wireless connection with the wireless network device, the mobile terminal directly generates a second access data group by using a third physical address corresponding to the service set identifier and an access password input by the user. Specifically, the third physical address corresponding to the service set identifier refers to that the wireless network sent by the wireless network device represented by the service set identifier in the second signal frequency band can be determined through the service set identifier, and the third physical address of the wireless network device sending the wireless network in the second signal frequency band is determined. And the mobile terminal sends the first access data group to the intelligent equipment through the communication connection under the condition of establishing communication connection with the intelligent equipment, and the intelligent equipment establishes wireless connection with the wireless network equipment through the second access data group.

In this embodiment, if the user selects that the intelligent device can establish the second signal frequency band of the wireless connection with the wireless network device, the intelligent device can be directly connected with the wireless network device without performing other operations, and the operation is simple and the connection is fast.

Similarly, if the service set identifier selected by the user is Test5, and the signal frequency band corresponding to the service set identifier Test5 is 2.4GHz which can be supported by the intelligent device, at this time, the mobile terminal directly generates the physical address 3048B0EF3284 corresponding to the service set identifier Test5 and the access password input by the user into a second access data group, and the intelligent device establishes a wireless connection with the wireless network device by using the second access data group.

After receiving the third access data group sent by the mobile terminal, the intelligent device may determine the signal frequency band corresponding to the fourth physical address according to the signal frequency band identifier in the third access data group. If the signal frequency band corresponding to the fourth physical address is the first signal frequency band in which the intelligent device cannot establish wireless connection with the wireless network device, that is, the first signal frequency band which cannot be supported by the intelligent device, the intelligent device scans the wireless network of the second signal frequency band sent by the wireless network device.
