The features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the appended claims.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for processing access to a wireless local area network according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Preferred embodiment of the invention

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for processing access to a wireless local area network according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG.

As shown in Figure 1, the method of this embodiment includes:

511. Set a priority of the WLAN access point.

512. Scan the wireless local area network according to the priority level when scanning the wireless local area network. Thus, the method according to the embodiment can access the WLA according to user preferences and practical needs.

In this embodiment, the user first sets the effect that the user wants to use through the WLAN module. The following is a specific embodiment.

Step 201: Set a priority of the WLAN access point.

For example, the home of W _h . _{Me has the} highest priority, the access point W _{WOTk is the} second place, W _emcc 's access point is the third priority, and other social occasions W. Th _er etc. is the lowest.

In addition, priority can be set according to the operator, such as mobile, China Unicom, and telecommunications. And the user can also set the color of the access point according to the SSID (Service Set Identifier) type priority of the WLAN, for example, the Chinese Mobile's W _emt and W _{cma edu are} set to red, and the home W _h . _{Me is} set to blue, W _WOTk for office is yellow, and W for social occasions. Th _er is black and so on. In addition, the user can set the color of the wireless LAN currently connected according to his or her preference. For example, the terminal currently connects W _cmcc to blue to distinguish it from other.

Step 202: The terminal starts WLAN scanning to obtain the current WLAN hotspot layout, and the root According to the priority set by the user, the terminal sequentially scans the SSID arrangement and finally accesses, and when the first priority is not satisfied, the scan accesses the second priority, and so on.

The same type of hotspots are arranged according to the user's settings. When the terminal accesses an access point, such as China Mobile W _cmcc , then W _cmcc is set to red and displayed on the terminal interface according to step 201, so that the user can know at a glance which hot spot is currently being used. .

In addition, the terminal can count the WLAN access points used in the specified time period; set the priority of the WLAN access point according to the number of uses or the usage flow.

For example, the terminal collects statistics on the hotspots used by the terminal according to a certain period of time (for example, one month). The statistics are based on (the hotspots with a higher frequency of Count) or (calculating the traffic values used by each WLAN hotspot) High hotspots, the more traffic used, the higher the ranking, and saved into the wlan-high table in the database, put the wlan-low table for hotspots that have never been used for a fixed period of time. The fields saved in the table may include information such as WLAN SSID, access time Time, and access count Count. In this way, when the user turns on the WLAN again, the terminal can perform the WLAN recommendation in the wlan-high database in combination with the priority setting set by the user in step 201, and block the hotspot in the wlan-low table on the terminal interface, unless the user Listed when you manually scan for hotspots again.

In a preferred embodiment, when the terminal scans the wireless local area network, the current time can be acquired; detecting whether the currently scanned wireless local area network access point is included in the wireless local area network access point used at the time within the specified time period, if included If the WLAN access point used at that time meets the specified priority, then the WLAN access point used at that time is accessed.

For example, in a certain period of time (such as one month), the SSID status at a certain time in the wlan_high table dynamically recommends the WLAN hotspot. Specifically, when the terminal acquires the current time and compares the time in the wlan high table, because the user generally accesses a certain type of fixed hotspot at a fixed time, when detecting the current time in a hot spot of a certain scenario, It is recommended to list the current hotspots based on the priority set by the user. For example, when the current time of the terminal building is located in the most likely areas and CMCC hot spots rather than family area, directly-first search _W WOTk search W _h. _Me , and finally arranged to display access. The user can blank the historical data to restore the initial default settings.

The first module is set to set a priority of the wireless local area network access point;

The second module, when configured to scan the wireless local area network, performs scanning according to the priority order to access the wireless local area network.

Wherein the first module may include

The first unit is configured to perform statistics on the wireless LAN access points used in the specified time; the second unit is configured to set the priority of the wireless local area network access point according to the number of uses or the usage flow;

The third unit is set to distinguish the WLAN access points of different priorities. For example, three parts of the access point that are in use, frequently used, and less used can be distinguished by color or special symbols, etc., so that the user can set the access and frequently access according to the priority. , access points that are less or unconnected are distinguished.

The fourth unit is set to block the specified lower priority wireless LAN access point or the wireless LAN access point that is invalid for the user.

The second module may include:

The first unit, when set to scan the wireless LAN, obtains the current time;

The second unit is configured to detect whether the currently scanned WLAN access point is included in the WLAN access point used at the time within the specified time period, such as the WLAN connection included and used at the time When the ingress point meets the specified priority, the WLAN access point used at the time is accessed.
