Description

WiFi network access method, intelligent hardware equipment and electronic terminal

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a WiFi network access method, a computer readable medium, an intelligent hardware device, and an electronic terminal.

Background

With the development of the internet of things and intelligent hardware technology, more and more intelligent hardware devices can be networked in a WiFi mode. When the intelligent hardware device connects to the WiFi network, it must know the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and PASSWORD (PASSWORD) of the WiFi router to realize access. However, the internet of things intelligent hardware devices are very different, and many intelligent hardware devices do not have or lack input and output means such as keyboards, touch screens or display screens, and the SSID and the password of the WiFi router cannot be input into the intelligent hardware devices through a traditional manual mode.

For the above problems, there are two general network distribution modes at present:

(1) one-key configuration: and sending a multicast packet and a broadcast packet by the mobile phone, and organizing the distribution network information (including the SSID and the password of the WiFi router) into corresponding multicast packet and broadcast packet fields according to a fixed protocol. Then the intelligent hardware device is in a promiscuous mode to monitor the data packet, and the SSID and the password are obtained by decoding the monitored multicast packet and the broadcast packet.

(2) softAP mode: the intelligent hardware device is in an AP (Wireless Access Point) mode, and after the mobile phone is connected to the AP, the SSID and the password are transmitted to the intelligent hardware device through UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). And after receiving the distribution network information, the intelligent hardware equipment switches back to the station mode to connect the WiFi router.

Both of the above solutions have some drawbacks:

due to the fact that formal WiFi connection is not established in one-key configuration, the equipment acquires distribution network information in a mode of grabbing empty packets, the distribution network mode is influenced by factors such as packet grabbing capacity of an intelligent hardware equipment end, packet sending rate of a mobile phone, network environment and router setting, and the problems of compatibility and low distribution network success rate exist.

softAP requires that an intelligent hardware device end is in an AP mode, the steps are complicated, and some types of mobile phones, such as apple mobile phones, do not have the authority of switching APs, and users need to manually switch APs, so that user experience is poor.

Therefore, a new WiFi network accessing method, a computer readable medium, an intelligent hardware device and an electronic terminal are needed.

It is to be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

The WiFi network access method can be applied to intelligent hardware equipment. Wherein, the intelligent hardware device can comprise a first Bluetooth module and a WiFi module. The hardware device is to support both WiFi and BLE.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first Bluetooth module may include a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) module or a standard Bluetooth module.

It should be noted that, in the following embodiments, the first bluetooth module is taken as a BLE module for example, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the WiFi network access method according to the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented by using a standard bluetooth technology, and data transmission and reception between the intelligent hardware device and the electronic terminal and information processing in the intelligent hardware device and the electronic terminal may be adaptively modified according to a difference between a bluetooth low energy technology and the standard bluetooth technology, and such modifications all belong to the protection scope of the disclosure.

BLE technology is a low-cost, short-range, interoperable, robust wireless technology operating in the unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM radio frequency band. It was designed from the beginning as an ultra low power wireless technology. It utilizes many intelligent means to minimize power consumption. Bluetooth low energy technology employs variable connection time intervals, which may vary from milliseconds to seconds depending on the particular application. In addition, because BLE technology employs a very fast connection mode, it can be in a "non-connected" state (energy saving) at ordinary times, and both ends of the link only know each other, and the link is opened only when necessary, and then closed in as short a time as possible.

As shown in fig. 2, the WiFi network entry method may include the following steps.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: when the intelligent hardware equipment is in a network access state, the first Bluetooth module enters a broadcast state; sending a first broadcast packet to an electronic terminal through the first Bluetooth module, wherein the first broadcast packet may include WiFi configuration information of the intelligent hardware device; and establishing Bluetooth connection between the intelligent hardware equipment and the electronic terminal according to the WiFi configuration information.

In an exemplary embodiment, the WiFi configuration information may include whether the smart hardware device supports a bluetooth network distribution function and its current WiFi connection status.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, whether the intelligent hardware device supports the bluetooth network distribution function means whether the intelligent hardware device supports controlling the intelligent hardware device to access the network via the bluetooth.

In step S120, the WiFi module is accessed to a WiFi network according to the distribution network information of the router.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: and monitoring the WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment.

In an exemplary embodiment, monitoring the WiFi connection status of the smart hardware device may include: receiving a first control command sent by an electronic terminal; disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the intelligent hardware equipment and the electronic terminal according to the first control command, and enabling the intelligent hardware equipment to enter a broadcasting state; detecting and sending the WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment through a second broadcast packet; and when the preset delay time is exceeded, closing the first Bluetooth module of the intelligent hardware equipment. The WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment is monitored in the mode of the embodiment of the invention, the batch distribution of networks can be supported, and a plurality of intelligent hardware equipment can be simultaneously configured at one time.

In an exemplary embodiment, monitoring the WiFi connection status of the smart hardware device may include: detecting a WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment; reporting the WiFi connection state to an electronic terminal through a Bluetooth connection channel; receiving a second control command sent by the electronic terminal; disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the electronic terminal and the intelligent hardware equipment according to the second control command; and closing the first Bluetooth module of the intelligent hardware equipment. The WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment is monitored in the mode of the embodiment of the invention, and distribution network information can be issued in a user-defined command mode. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the custom command refers to a communication protocol agreed between the intelligent hardware device and the electronic terminal.

The WiFi network access method provided by the embodiment of the invention provides a new network access scheme aiming at intelligent hardware equipment supporting both WiFi and Bluetooth, on one hand, the WiFi network access method realized by Bluetooth has extremely high success rate of network distribution; on the other hand, the WiFi network accessing method is simple in steps and does not need extra manual intervention of a user.

Fig. 3 schematically shows a flowchart of another WiFi network entry method in an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The WiFi access method can be applied to an electronic terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, but the disclosure is not limited thereto). Wherein, the electronic terminal can comprise a second Bluetooth module. Similarly, the second bluetooth module may also be a BLE module or a standard bluetooth module.

As shown in fig. 3, the WiFi network entry method may include the following steps.

In step S210, WiFi configuration information of an intelligent hardware device is obtained through the second bluetooth module.

In an exemplary embodiment, the obtaining WiFi configuration information of an intelligent hardware device through the second bluetooth module may include: controlling the electronic terminal to enter a scanning state, and acquiring a first broadcast packet sent by the intelligent hardware equipment, wherein the first broadcast packet comprises WiFi configuration information of the intelligent hardware equipment; and analyzing the first broadcast packet to acquire the WiFi configuration information.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: judging whether the intelligent hardware equipment meets the distribution network condition or not according to the WiFi configuration information; and when the distribution network condition is met, establishing Bluetooth connection between the electronic terminal and the intelligent hardware equipment.

In step S220, the distribution network information of the router is sent to the intelligent hardware device according to the WiFi configuration information.

In an exemplary embodiment, monitoring the WiFi connection status of the smart hardware device may include: sending a first control command to the intelligent hardware equipment, wherein the first control command is used for informing the intelligent hardware equipment that the Bluetooth connection is disconnected and then the intelligent hardware equipment enters a broadcast state; disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the electronic terminal and the intelligent hardware equipment; and monitoring a second broadcast packet sent by the intelligent hardware equipment, and acquiring the WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment by analyzing the second broadcast packet.

In an exemplary embodiment, monitoring the WiFi connection status of the smart hardware device may include: receiving the WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment uploaded by the intelligent hardware equipment through a Bluetooth connection channel; sending a second control command to the intelligent hardware device; and disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the electronic terminal and the intelligent hardware equipment according to the second control command.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device, such as a mobile phone, monitors the WiFi state of the smart hardware device end through a built-in second bluetooth module, such as a BLE module, and securely transmits the SSID and the password of the router to the smart hardware device end. For example:

(1) in the network access state, the intelligent hardware device end broadcasts a first broadcast packet outwards through a built-in first bluetooth module, such as BLE, and the first broadcast packet can carry information such as service UUID (universal Unique Identifier), WiFi configuration information (including, for example, whether BLE distribution network function and current WiFi connection state are supported), device ID, and the like, and informs the intelligent hardware device of the information of the current WiFi module outwards.

It should be noted that a service may be understood as one service, and in BLE, there may be a plurality of services. UUID is a unique identifier, and service needs to be identified by one UUID. In BLE, the UUID is typically replaced with 16 bits, i.e., two bytes.

(2) The mobile phone APP judges whether the intelligent hardware equipment is requesting to access the network or not through scanning the surrounding intelligent hardware equipment (or called BLE equipment) and analyzing the first broadcast packet and through service UUID and WiFi configuration information of the intelligent hardware equipment. And if so, establishing BLE connection with the intelligent hardware equipment.

In the embodiment of the invention, the device information such as the product type or name can be inquired through the device ID number, and the user is prompted to request the product to access the network. Therefore, the user can be informed of information such as the name of the device applying for network access in the configuration stage, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the service UUID in the first broadcast packet may be used to identify whether the corresponding intelligent hardware device conforms to the communication protocol agreed between the mobile phones. Because there may be more BLE devices broadcasting their broadcast packets outwards around the same handset, only the BLE devices meeting the agreed communication protocol will be displayed in the device list of the handset APP at this time, and the BLE devices not meeting the agreed communication protocol will not be displayed.

(3) After the BLE connection between the mobile phone and the smart hardware device is established, the mobile phone writes distribution network information (including SSID, PASSWORD, and the like of the router) into the smart hardware device, receives confirmation response (response) information returned by the smart hardware device, and confirms that the distribution network information successfully reaches the smart hardware device.

(4) After the intelligent hardware equipment receives the distribution network information, the following two ways for monitoring the WiFi connection state of the intelligent hardware equipment can be provided:

l1 — means by BLE broadcast. After the intelligent hardware equipment writes the distribution network information, the mobile phone end informs the BLE of the intelligent hardware equipment through a first control command to enter a broadcasting state after the BLE is disconnected, and the BLE between the mobile phone and the intelligent hardware equipment is disconnected. The intelligent hardware equipment end monitors the network access state of WiFi of the intelligent hardware equipment end, and the current connection state of the WiFi of the intelligent hardware equipment end is broadcasted outwards through a second broadcast packet. And the mobile phone end monitors the network access state of the intelligent hardware equipment in a mode of monitoring the second broadcast packet of the intelligent hardware equipment. The method is particularly suitable for the condition that a plurality of intelligent hardware devices request to access the network, the mobile phone end can disconnect BLE connection between the mobile phone end and the current intelligent hardware device without waiting for the WiFi connection of the current intelligent hardware device to be completed, and the next intelligent hardware device starts to be configured.

L2 — by way of custom commands. The mobile phone and the intelligent hardware device do not disconnect Bluetooth such as BLE connection, and the intelligent hardware device actively reports the WiFi network access state of the intelligent hardware device through a BLE connection channel between the intelligent hardware device and the mobile phone. The mobile phone end disconnects BLE connection between the mobile phone end and the intelligent hardware equipment after considering that the distribution network flow is completed.

Referring to fig. 4, it is exemplified that the first bluetooth module in the smart hardware device is a BLE module, the electronic terminal is a mobile phone, and the second bluetooth module in the mobile phone is also a BLE module.

Fig. 4 schematically shows a flowchart of another WiFi network entry method in an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the WiFi network entry method may include the following steps.

1. The mobile phone defaults to enter a scanning state and monitors broadcast information.

2. (a1) the smart hardware device, such as the illustrated BLE + WiFi device (i.e. the smart hardware device supporting both BLE and WiFi) is in a Broadcast state (BLE Broadcast), and broadcasts information of the BLE + WiFi device, where service UUID and manual Specific Data may be included in the Broadcast Data.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the broadcast data may use type of 0x03 (complete 16-bit UUID), and carry service UUID 0xFE70 that supports the communication protocol between the mobile phone and the intelligent hardware device, so as to identify that the intelligent hardware device supports controlling WiFi access through BLE. As shown in table one below:

name (R)	Length	Value
			service UUID	2	0xFE70

Table-service UUID

It should be noted that the value (value) of the service UUID may be determined according to a value allocated to the service UUID when purchased by a different manufacturer, and is not limited to the value exemplified in this embodiment.

Wherein the manufacturer Specific Data is some special Data of the manufacturer, the type of the manufacturer Specific Data is 0xFF, representing the custom manufacturer Data, and the custom Data can be written into the vendor Specific Data. The first 14 bytes using TYPE ═ 0xFF are additionally as follows:

first 14 bytes of table two-manual specific Data

And the rest broadcast fields can be defined by the manufacturer according to the product of the manufacturer.

The following description will be made of fields in the first 14 bytes of the manual specific Data:

PUID (i.e., device ID number): and (5) product character number, which is obtained when registering the product.

MACADDR: MAC address of BLE device.

VERSEC: version + Security Level, protocol Version number + Security Level. The high nibble H is used to identify a protocol version number, and the protocol is defined as 0x00 in the embodiment of the present invention. The low nibble L is used to identify the security level: in the embodiment of the present invention, the generation manners of the session key may be respectively:

0-security level 0;

1-1-security level 1;

2-security level 2;

3-security level 3.

Expandadt: an extension tag for identifying chip information, which can be identified by 0xHL

A byte. The high nibble H is used to identify the chip type, for example:

0-BLE device

And the 1-BLE + WiFi equipment supports controlling WiFi to access the network through BLE.

The expandag low nibble L is used to identify the current network access status of the BLE + WiFi device, for example:

0-disconnected;

1-connecting (in connection);

2-connected;

3-no corresponding route is scanned;

4-connection failure for other reasons.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the BLE + WiFi device needs to ensure that the maximum time of entering the distribution network mode each time (that is, in the network entry state, the smart hardware device broadcasts the first broadcast packet outwards through the built-in first bluetooth module, for example, BLE, and informs the current WiFi module of the smart hardware device of the information of the first broadcast packet outwards) is 10 minutes (where 10 minutes is an empirical value, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the current WiFi module may be autonomously set according to a specific application scenario), and then fails, and if the distribution network mode needs to be re-entered, the BLE + WiFi device needs to be powered on again or reset to enter the network. The maximum time that the BLE + WiFi device enters the distribution network mode each time is defined herein to ensure security and avoid the broadcast packet broadcasted outside from being scanned by other electronic devices.

3. When the mobile phone end has the operation of adding equipment, broadcast data in the first broadcast packet is analyzed, whether UUID with the type of 0x03 is equal to 0xFE70 or not is judged, whether the data in the information of the WiFi module support WiFi distribution network and WiFi distribution network states (obtained through EXPANGTAG fields in the type of 0xFF or not) or not is judged, and if the distribution network conditions are met, a user is prompted to request the BLE + WiFi equipment to access the network.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the distribution network condition may include that a high nibble H of an expannigtag field in add 0xFF is 1, that is, it is identified that the BLE + WiFi device supports controlling WiFi access through BLE; a UUID of Adtype 0x03 equal to 0xFE70 may also be included.

4. (a2), if the user allows the BLE + WiFi device to access the network, the mobile phone end establishes a BLE connection (BLE connect) with the BLE + WiFi device. The BLE in the mobile phone and the BLE + WiFi equipment both enter a connection state.

5. (a3) after the BLE + WiFi device BLE is successfully connected, the device information and the mutual key data may be acquired first. The device information may be obtained from a cloud database according to the PUID, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

6. (A4) the mobile phone writes the SSID of the router and the PASSWORD into the BLE + WiFi device in a cryptograph mode.

7. (a5) the BLE + WiFi device decrypts and parses the data and returns response (response) information.

8. If response information is successfully returned, the mobile phone end prompts the user that the BLE + WiFi equipment has received the networking information, the WiFi module in the BLE + WiFi equipment is in a connecting state, and the BLE + WiFi equipment informs the WiFi module of the networking information to start WiFi networking.

9. The mobile phone terminal can select a flow L1 or L2 to acquire the state that the BLE + WiFi equipment carries out WiFi distribution network through Bluetooth, wherein L1 informs the mobile phone terminal of the WiFi connection state through BLE broadcasting, and L2 informs the mobile phone terminal of the WiFi connection state through a BLE connection channel. Correspondingly, after the BLE + WiFi equipment receives the distribution network information, two modes for monitoring the WiFi connection state of the equipment are provided: the L1 suggests to adopt a BLE broadcasting mode for the case that a plurality of BLE + WiFi devices are simultaneously distributed with a network; the L2 cell-phone does not keep Bluetooth connection with this BLE + WiFi equipment, and this BLE + WiFi equipment reports its WiFi connection status through BLE connection channel.

The two modes L1 and L2 are explained with continued reference to fig. 4.

L1 (applicable to multiple BLE + WiFi devices to distribute network-monitoring distribution network status through BLE broadcast):

1. (B1) the mobile terminal writes (write) BLE _ DEV _ CTL Command (CMD) to the current BLE + WiFi device, for example, the parameter is equal to 1, and informs the current BLE + WiFi device that BLE enters a broadcast state after disconnection.

2. (B2) the current BLE + WiFi device returns the result (response) to the mobile phone terminal.

3. And (B3) the mobile phone terminal disconnects the Bluetooth connection (BLE Disconnect) between the mobile phone terminal and the current BLE + WiFi equipment after receiving response.

4. (B4) the current BLE + WiFi device broadcast data carries WiFi connection information (which may be an expendatag field in an addype ═ 0 xFF), and the mobile phone end monitors the WiFi connection state of the current BLE + WiFi device in the broadcast data.

5. The current BLE + WiFi device delays to turn off its bluetooth for 3 minutes.

It should be noted that, here, the reason why the bluetooth of the current BLE + WiFi device is turned off after delaying for 3 minutes is that in the monitoring manner of L1, the BLE connection between the mobile phone and the current BLE + WiFi device is disconnected first, then the mobile phone obtains the WiFi connection state of the current BLE + WiFi device by monitoring the broadcast information broadcasted by the current BLE + WiFi device, and in order to ensure that the mobile phone end has enough time to scan the broadcast information, the bluetooth of the current BLE + WiFi device needs to be turned off after delaying for 3 minutes. However, the 3 minutes is an example, and may be self-contained in different applications, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

Wherein, L2 (can be applicable to single BLE + WiFi equipment distribution network-BLE and do not break the connection, connect the channel through BLE and report the distribution network state voluntarily):

1. and (C1) the BLE + WiFi equipment terminal monitors the WiFi connection state, and reports the WiFi connection result by using the command (indicating the WiFi connection state is successful or wrong).

2. (C2) the mobile phone end indicates the network access/connection state and returns the response (response) information.

3. (C3) the mobile terminal writes a BLE _ DEV _ CTL command to the device, for example, the parameter is equal to 2, i.e., write BLE _ DEV _ CTL CMD ═ 2, and informs the BLE + WiFi device BLE to disconnect and directly turn off the bluetooth.

4. (C4) the BLE + WiFi device returns a response.

5. (C5) the mobile phone terminal disconnects bluetooth such as BLE connection (BLE Disconnect), the BLE + WiFi device no longer enters the broadcast state, and the bluetooth is turned off.

Moreover, although the steps of the methods of the present disclosure are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in this particular order, or that all of the depicted steps must be performed, to achieve desirable results. Additionally or alternatively, certain steps may be omitted, multiple steps combined into one step execution, and/or one step broken down into multiple step executions, etc.

Further, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an intelligent hardware device, where the intelligent hardware device includes: one or more processors; and storage means for storing one or more programs; when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of: receiving distribution network information of a router through a first Bluetooth module of the intelligent hardware equipment; and accessing the WiFi module of the intelligent hardware equipment to a WiFi network according to the distribution network information of the router.
