WiFi technology is used more and more widely as a wireless communication method. Many electronic devices can connect to a wireless hotspot through a wireless communication module to achieve networking. For devices providing a wireless hotspot, some devices only have an AP (Access Point) mode, and some devices include both an AP (Access Point) mode and an STA (Station) mode. In the AP mode, the device may provide a wireless hotspot to share traffic or a wired network, and in the STA mode, the device is used to connect to the wireless hotspot to implement an internet access function. For example, a router is often provided with only an AP module, and a smartphone, a smart set-top box, and the like are often dual-mode. For example, the existing Android smart device has an STA mode and an AP mode. When the Android device works in the STA mode, the Android device serves as a connection device, and the wireless internet access function of the Android device is achieved by connecting wireless hotspots provided by other devices; when the wireless access device works in the AP mode, the Android device provides wireless access service as a device for providing wireless hotspots, so that other connecting devices with WiFi functions can be connected with the wireless hotspots provided by the Android device, and the wireless internet access function of the connecting devices is achieved.

In certain scenarios multiple wireless hotspots are required, e.g. different classes of visitors on the same occasion connect different wireless hotspots. However, each WiFi module only provides one SSID, multiple SSIDs need to be provided through a corresponding number of WiFi modules, which is relatively high in cost.

In order to avoid the problem of high cost, embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an apparatus, a device, and a computer storage medium for controlling a wireless hotspot connection. According to the embodiment of the invention, the same WiFi module provides a plurality of SSIDs, so that a plurality of wireless hotspots are provided, and the cost is further reduced. Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1A, fig. 1A is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a wireless hotspot connection according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which may include the following steps 101 to 104:

in step 101, if it is determined that the number of SSIDs of wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module is greater than 1 based on the configuration instruction of the wireless hotspots, the MAC address of the WiFi module is obtained.

In step 102, BSSIDs of the wireless hotspots are obtained based on the MAC addresses, and hotspot configuration information of each wireless hotspot is generated and stored in a hotspot configuration file in combination with SSIDs and hotspot passwords of at least two wireless hotspots obtained based on the configuration instruction.

In step 103, an IP address field of each wireless hotspot is determined based on the hotspot configuration information and stored in a DHCP configuration file.

In step 104, a wireless hotspot service and a DHCP service are respectively started according to the hotspot configuration file and the DHCP configuration file, where the wireless hotspot service allows the connection device to connect to a corresponding wireless hotspot by using a hotspot password corresponding to each SSID.

The embodiment of the invention can be applied to electronic equipment with a function of providing wireless hot spots, for example, the invention can be applied to electronic equipment such as routing equipment, set top boxes, flat panels, smart phones and the like. Specifically, the method can be applied to equipment such as an Android set top box, an Android game box, an Android smart television, an Android intelligent advertising machine, an Android conference machine and an Android education machine.

Wherein, the configuration instruction of the wireless hot point can be an instruction for setting configuration information of the wireless hot point. The configuration instructions may be generated based on user-operated triggers.

In an alternative implementation, a hotspot setting interface for setting at least two wireless hotspots is provided in advance. In the hotspot setting interface, configuration information of different wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module can be set. For example, not only the SSID of the wireless hotspot (i.e., the name of the wireless hotspot, which is used for searching for connection by other connected devices) but also a hotspot password of the wireless hotspot (the hotspot password is a connection password that needs to be input when the wireless hotspot is connected) may be set, so that the wireless hotspot with the name of SSID is connected by using the hotspot password. Further, other related information of the wireless hotspot may also be set, for example, SSID broadcast status, security encryption mode, and the like. The SSID broadcast state is used to indicate whether the corresponding SSID name is in a visible state. The security encryption mode comprises an open state and an encryption state and is used for indicating whether a password needs to be input when the corresponding WiFi module is connected.

As shown in fig. 1B, fig. 1B is a schematic diagram of a hotspot setting interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In the hotspot setting interface, configuration information of three wireless hotspots can be set, and the configuration information can include SSID, hotspot password and security of the wireless hotspots. It is understood that other configuration information of the wireless hotspot may be set in the hotspot setting interface, and fig. 1B only illustrates some of the information.

And acquiring a configuration instruction of the wireless hotspot based on the hotspot setting interface, and setting the configuration information of the wireless hotspot according to the configuration instruction. Setting a plurality of wireless hotspots based on a hotspot setting interface may have various situations, for example, different SSIDs and different passwords of different wireless hotspots; the SSIDs of different wireless hotspots are different, but the passwords are the same; the SSIDs of different wireless hotspots are the same, but the passwords are different; the SSIDs of different wireless hotspots are the same and the passwords are the same.

In the embodiment of the invention, as the hotspot setting interface is an interface for setting the wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module, when at least two SSIDs of the wireless hotspots are determined according to the setting instruction, the number of the SSIDs of the wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module can be determined to be more than 1. In one example, the number of SSIDs may be determined according to whether the SSID control in the hotspot setting interface is empty. Specifically, if at least two SSID input controls in the hotspot setting interface are not empty, it is determined that the number of SSIDs of wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module is greater than 1.

The SSID input control may be a control for inputting an SSID, and the number of the SSID input controls may be determined based on a preset number of available SSIDs. In an example, whether the SSID input control is empty may be whether the SSID input control corresponding to the SSID inputs a valid SSID, and if a valid SSID is input, it is determined that the SSID input control is not empty, otherwise, it is determined that the SSID input control is empty. By a legitimate SSID is meant an SSID that meets the requirements of a specified format. In another example, whether the SSID input control is empty or not may be whether the SSID input control corresponding to the SSID inputs information or not, and if the information is input, it is determined that the input control is not empty, otherwise, it is determined that the input control is empty. The SSID format is not limited in this example.

The SSID is the name of the wireless hotspot, so that the number of the SSIDs can represent the number of the wireless hotspots, and the number of the SSIDs can be quickly judged according to whether the SSID input control is empty or not, so that the number of the wireless hotspots can be quickly judged.

In some application scenarios, there is not much need to set the same SSID with the same WiFi mode, and in view of this, in an alternative implementation, it is also limited whether the SSIDs are the same. Specifically, if at least two SSID input controls in the hotspot setting interface are not empty and SSIDs in the SSID input controls are different, it is determined that the number of SSIDs of wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module is greater than 1, and the SSID input controls are controls for inputting SSIDs.

Therefore, whether the SSID input control is empty or not is considered, and whether the information in the SSID input control is the same or not is also considered, so that the scheme of the invention is executed only when at least two different SSIDs are determined. Further, if the input information of the current SSID input control is detected to be the same as the input information of the set SSID input control, the reminding information with the same SSID is output to remind a user of setting different SSIDs.

Regarding the case that the SSID input control is empty, in an example, if the SSID input control is used to determine whether the SSID number of the wireless hotspot is empty, it may indicate that the hotspot service is not enabled when the SSID input control is empty. Further, in order to remind the user, reminding information can be displayed in the input control corresponding to the SSID: "clear means not enabled". For example, the prompt may be prompted in the input box by way of a placeholder (also referred to as a shading word). In another example, the number of SSIDs of the wireless hotspot is determined without using whether the SSID input control is empty, but rather, the number of SSIDs of the wireless hotspot is determined according to the number of SSID input controls in the hotspot setting interface. In view of this, the default assignment of the value in the SSID input control that is empty in the hotspot setting interface is the SSID in the SSID input control that is not empty. In order to specify the SSID for default assignment, an SSID input control may be pre-designated, and the designated SSID input control is used as the original SSID input control, and the other SSID input controls are used as the extended SSID input controls. For example, the first SSID input control is used as the original SSID input control, and the other SSID input controls are used as the extended SSID input controls. And taking the SSID in the original SSID input control as the SSID for default assignment, and taking the original SSID as the SSID of the extended SSID input control when other extended SSID input controls are empty. For convenience of description, the SSID in the original SSID entry control can be referred to as the original SSID, which is the name of the original wireless hotspot. The SSID in the extended SSID entry control may be referred to as an extended SSID, which is the name of an extended wireless hotspot.

Because different wireless hotspots can be allocated with different IP address segments, when the input control for inputting the extended SSID is empty, the extended SSID of the extended wireless hotspot is indicated to be the same as the original SSID, so that the name of the extended wireless hotspot can be the same as that of the original wireless hotspot, the IP address segment corresponding to the extended wireless hotspot is utilized, and the full utilization of the network is realized.

Further, in order to remind the user, reminding information can be displayed in the input control corresponding to the SSID: "clear" means the same as SSID name 1. For example, the prompt may be presented in the input box by means of a shading word.

Correspondingly, the hotspot setting interface also comprises a hotspot password corresponding to the SSID. The hotspot passwords corresponding to different SSIDs may be the same or different.

In one example, one SSID input control may be pre-designated, and the designated SSID input control is used as the original SSID input control, and the other SSID input controls are used as the extended SSID input controls. For example, the first SSID input control is used as the original SSID input control, and the other SSID input controls are used as the extended SSID input controls. For convenience of description, the SSID in the original SSID entry control can be referred to as the original SSID, which is the name of the original wireless hotspot. The SSID in the extended SSID entry control may be referred to as an extended SSID, which is the name of an extended wireless hotspot.

Regarding the situation that the password input control is empty, if the hotspot setting interface comprises the original SSID and at least one extended SSID, when the hotspot password corresponding to the extended SSID is empty, the prompt message that the password is empty can be output.

In an example, if the hotspot password corresponding to the extended SSID in the hotspot setting interface is empty and the hotspot password corresponding to the original SSID is not empty, the hotspot password corresponding to the original SSID is used as the hotspot password corresponding to the extended SSID. When the hot spot password corresponding to the extended SSID is empty, the hot spot password corresponding to the original SSID is automatically set as the hot spot password corresponding to the extended SSID, and therefore password setting time is saved.

As shown in fig. 1C, fig. 1C is a schematic diagram of another hotspot setting interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In the hotspot setting interface, configuration information of three wireless hotspots can be set, wherein the configuration information comprises an SSID (service set identifier) of the wireless hotspot, a hotspot password and security. And if the SSID input control is null, it may indicate that the hotspot service is not enabled. In order to remind the user, reminding information can be displayed in the SSID input control: "clear means not enabled". The SSID1 is used as an original SSID, the SSID2 and the SSID3 are used as extended SSIDs, when the hotspot password corresponding to the extended SSID is empty, the hotspot password corresponding to the SSID1 can be set as the hotspot password corresponding to the extended SSID, and the reminder information is displayed in the password input control: a null indicates the same as 'code 1'. Therefore, the method and the device can be conveniently and quickly set by a manager.

When the SSID number of the wireless hotspot of the same WiFi module is determined to be greater than 1, a Media Access Control Address (MAC Address or physical Address) of the WiFi module may be acquired.

The MAC address may be referred to as a media access control address, also referred to as an ethernet ID or a physical address, which is an address used to confirm the location of the network device. The MAC address is 48 bits (6 bytes) in total and is typically expressed in hexadecimal. The first 24 bits of the MAC address are determined by the IEEE as to how to assign, and the last 24 bits of the MAC address are specified by the vendor who actually produces the network device.

The MAC address of the WiFi module may be obtained in various ways, for example, the MAC address of the WiFi module may be obtained by reading/sys/class/net/wlan 0/address, for example, the obtained MAC address is 44:2c:05: b9: a2: d 2.

Since each wireless hotspot needs to be configured with a BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier), BSSIDs of different wireless hotspots are different, and BSSIDs can be obtained based on MAC addresses, BSSIDs of wireless hotspots can be obtained based on the MAC addresses.

converting the MAC address into a MAC address with a specified format;

Wherein the MAC address of the specified format satisfies: the BSSID obtained by the wireless hotspot service based on the MAC address of the specified format may be extended to a different BSSID, for example, the specified format may be a local administration (Locally Administered) format, under which the user may administer the definition by himself. The MAC Address in the local management format may be called a local managed Address (LAA). Specifically, the first byte of the MAC address may be converted to the byte required for the specified format. For example, the first byte 44 of the MAC address 44:2c:05: b9: a2: d2 is modified to byte 02 as required by the specified format, and the converted MAC address is 02:2c:05: b9: a2: d 2.

And resetting the MAC address of the WiFi module by using the converted MAC address. For example, the MAC address of the WiFi module is reset with a configuration command and the translated MAC address. The configuration command may be an ifconfig command, and in particular, the WiFi module MAC address may be reset using an ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 02:2c:05: b9: a2: d2 command.

And under the default condition, the BSSID is generally the MAC address of the WiFi module, and the BSSID corresponding to one SSID can be obtained. For example, when hotspot configuration information of a first wireless hotspot is generated, a configuration item such as BSSID 02:2c:05: b9: a2: d2 may be generated, and the hostapd service may automatically configure BSSID of a subsequent extended wireless hotspot according to the configuration item of BSSID, and extend BSSID corresponding to other SSIDs. Taking the converted MAC address as 02: xx: xx: xx: xx:00 as an example, the BSSID corresponding to the first SSID is 02: xx: xx: xx: xx:00, the BSSID corresponding to the second SSID is 02: xx: xx: xx: xx:01, the BSSID corresponding to the third SSID is 02: xx: xx: xx: xx:02, and the BSSIDs are automatically accumulated to expand the BSSIDs corresponding to other SSIDs.

Assuming that the number of SSIDs of wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module is determined to be 3 based on the hotspot setting interface, and the 3 SSIDs are SSID1, SSID2, and SSID3, respectively, then the 3 BSSIDs are obtained based on the MAC address, the BSSID corresponding to SSID1 is 02:2c:05: b9: a2: d2, and the BSSIDs corresponding to SSID2 and SSID3 can be obtained by automatically accumulating and expanding on the basis of 02:2c:05: b9: a2: d2, so hotspot configuration information does not need to be reflected. Combining the BSSID, the SSID in the hotspot setting interface and the hotspot password to generate hotspot configuration information of each wireless hotspot, which is as follows:

interface wlan0

bssid＝02:2c:05:b9:a2:d2

driver＝nl80211

ssid＝SSID1

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password1

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

bss＝wlan0_0

ssid＝SSID2

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password2

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

bss＝wlan0_1

ssid＝SSID3

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password3

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

the hot spot configuration information is the hot spot configuration information when the SSID1, the SSID2 and the SSID3 are all enabled and have independent passwords, and the hot spot configuration information is separated by empty lines. In one example, if the SSID input control is empty, which indicates that the wireless hotspot is not enabled, then when a certain SSID input control is empty, no corresponding hotspot configuration information is generated. For example, if the SSID2 corresponds to an SSID input control null, the hotspot configuration information is as follows:

interface wlan0

bssid＝02:2c:05:b9:a2:d2

driver＝nl80211

ssid＝SSID1

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password1

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

bss＝wlan0_1

ssid＝SSID3

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password3

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

if the password input control is null, indicating that the hotspot password of the wireless hotspot is the same as the hotspot password of the first wireless hotspot, the 4-row configuration items of wpa 2 to rsn _ password CCMP are not generated when the password input control is null. For example, if the hotspot password corresponding to SSID2 is null, the hotspot configuration information is as follows:

interface wlan0

bssid＝02:2c:05:b9:a2:d2

driver＝nl80211

ssid＝SSID1

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password1

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

bss＝wlan0_0

ssid＝SSID2

bss＝wlan0_1

ssid＝SSID3

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password3

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

in addition, if the number of the SSIDs of the wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module is determined to be 1 based on the hotspot setting interface, hotspot configuration information of a single SSID can be generated. For example, if the case is a single SSID, hotspot configuration information corresponding to SSID2 and SSID3 is not generated, and a bssid-02: 2c:05: b9: a2: d2 configuration item is not included in the hotspot configuration information corresponding to SSID 1. For example, if the input controls corresponding to SSID2 and SSID3 are both empty, the hotspot configuration information is as follows:

interface wlan0

driver＝nl80211

ssid＝SSID1

wpa＝2

wpa_passphrase＝password1

wpa_key_mgmt＝WPA-PSK

rsn_pairwise＝CCMP

and after the hotspot configuration information of each wireless hotspot is generated, storing the hotspot configuration information in a hotspot configuration file. The hotspot configuration file is a configuration file which needs to be loaded when the wireless hotspot service is started. The hotspot configuration file may include WiFi hotspot status, SSID broadcast status, SSID name, hotspot password, security encryption mode, working channel, working frequency band, and other hotspot configuration information. The WiFi hotspot state is used for indicating whether the AP function corresponding to the WiFi module is started or not. The SSID name refers to a WiFi hotspot name corresponding to the WiFi module and is used for searching and connecting the network connection equipment. The SSID broadcast state is used to indicate whether the corresponding SSID name is in a visible state. The security encryption mode comprises an open state and an encryption state and is used for indicating whether a password needs to be input when the corresponding WiFi module is connected. The operating frequency band may be a 2.4GHz (hertz) band, a 5.8GHz band, or the like.

For example, the wireless hotspot service may be a hostapd hotspot service, which is a user-mode daemon for the AP and the authentication server. The hotspot configuration file may be a hostapd.

When the connection device connects to the wireless hotspot, the connection device needs to be allocated with a corresponding IP address and DNS information through a DHCP service, and therefore an IP address field of each wireless hotspot needs to be configured and corresponding DHCP configuration information is generated.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network Protocol of a local area network, works using a UDP Protocol, and can be used for an internal network or a network service provider to automatically allocate an IP address to a user.

In view of this, after determining the hotspot configuration information, corresponding DHCP configuration information may be set according to the hotspot configuration information. The IP address field in the DHCP configuration information may be preconfigured by the designer. Different IP address segments are configured for different wireless hotspots. The DHCP configuration information can be changed along with the change of the hotspot configuration information, corresponding DHCP configuration information exists only when the wireless hotspot is in a starting state, and the DHCP configuration information does not exist if the wireless hotspot is not started.

Assuming that the number of SSIDs of the wireless hotspot of the same WiFi module is determined to be 3 based on the hotspot setting interface, and the 3 SSIDs are SSID1, SSID2, and SSID3, respectively, the DHCP configuration information is as follows:

interface＝wlan0

dhcp-range＝wlan0,192.168.66.110,192.168.66.220,12h

interface＝wlan0_0

dhcp-range＝wlan0_0,192.168.67.110,192.168.67.220,12h

interface＝wlan0_1

dhcp-range＝wlan0_1,192.168.68.110,192.168.68.220,12h

the above-mentioned corresponding item is changed following the change of hot configuration information, if the name of corresponding SSID is null, the corresponding interface and dhcp-range items are deleted, if it is single SSID case, only the first two rows are retained.

After determining the IP address segment for each wireless hotspot, the information may be stored in a DHCP configuration file. Conf may be stored in a dnssmasq. conf configuration file, for example.

And respectively starting wireless hotspot service and DHCP service according to the hotspot configuration file and the DHCP configuration file. Since the wireless hotspot service is often required to be restarted each time the hotspot configuration file is changed, the wireless hotspot service can be started according to the hotspot configuration file after the hotspot configuration file is updated. When the wireless hotspot service is started, the service can load a hotspot configuration file and then start the hotspot service supporting the corresponding function according to configuration items in the hotspot configuration file. And simultaneously, the DHCP service can be started based on the DHCP configuration file, when the DHCP service is started, the service can load the DHCP configuration file, and then the service supporting the corresponding function is started according to the configuration items in the DHCP configuration file so as to allocate the corresponding IP address, DNS information and the like to the connection equipment.

When the wireless hotspot service and the DHCP service are started, an IP address setting command is required to be executed to set the IP address of the WiFi module. The IP address setting command is determined based on DHCP configuration information corresponding to the SSID in the DHCP configuration file. The IP address setting commands correspond to the SSIDs, when the DHCP configuration file comprises the DHCP configuration information corresponding to the N SSIDs, the DHCP configuration file comprises N IP address setting commands, and each IP address setting command is used for setting the IP address of the corresponding wireless hotspot. For example, if the DHCP configuration file includes the DHCP configuration information corresponding to the SSID1, the SSID12, and the SSID3, the following commands are executed:

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.66.1up

ifconfig wlan0_0 192.168.67.1up

ifconfig wlan0_1 192.168.68.1up

therefore, the setting of the IP address of the WiFi module can be realized through the command.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, when it is determined that the number of SSIDs of wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module is greater than 1, the MAC address of the WiFi module may be obtained, the BSSID of the wireless hotspot is obtained based on the MAC address, hotspot configuration information of each wireless hotspot is generated in combination with the SSID and the hotspot password obtained based on the configuration instruction, and is stored in a hotspot configuration file; the IP address field of each wireless hotspot is determined based on the hotspot configuration information and is stored in the DHCP configuration file, and then the wireless hotspot service and the DHCP service are respectively started according to the hotspot configuration file and the DHCP configuration file, so that a plurality of wireless hotspots are provided by one WiFi module, a plurality of SSIDs are provided without the WiFi modules with corresponding numbers, and the cost is saved.

In one example, since multiple SSIDs can be partitioned for the same WiFi module, multiple wireless hotspots can be provided, and different users can be classified by roles, for example, into a corporate internal group, a customer group, a provider group, and the like. And informing users of different role groups of different SSIDs, thereby realizing that the users of different role groups are connected with different wireless hotspots.

Furthermore, different authorities for accessing network resources can be configured for different IP address segments, so that different authorities for connecting different wireless hotspots to access network resources are realized, and users of different role groups have different network access authorities.

The various technical features in the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, so long as there is no conflict or contradiction between the combinations of the features, but the combination is limited by the space and is not described one by one, and therefore, any combination of the various technical features in the above embodiments also belongs to the scope disclosed in the present specification.

The following is illustrated in one combination.

in step 201, if it is determined whether the SSID number of the wireless hotspot of the same WiFi module is greater than 1 based on the hotspot setting interface, if the SSID number is greater than 1, step 202 is entered, and if the SSID number is equal to 1, step 205 is entered.

In step 202, the MAC address of the WiFi module is obtained, and the MAC address is converted into a MAC address in a specified format, and step 203 is performed.

The MAC address of the specified format satisfies: the BSSID obtained by the wireless hotspot service based on the MAC address in the specified format may be extended by a different BSSID.

In step 203, the MAC address of the WiFi module is reset using the converted MAC address, and step 204 is entered.

In step 204, generating hotspot configuration information of each wireless hotspot by combining the converted MAC address and the SSID and hotspot password in the hotspot setting interface, and storing the hotspot configuration information in a hotspot configuration file; and determining the IP address field of each wireless hotspot based on the hotspot configuration information, generating corresponding DHCP configuration information, storing the DHCP configuration information in a DHCP configuration file, and entering step 206.

In step 205, hotspot configuration information and DHCP configuration information of a single SSID are generated and stored in a hotspot configuration file and a DHCP configuration file, respectively, and the process proceeds to step 206.

The process of generating the hotspot configuration information and the DHCP configuration information of the single SSID is the same as the process of generating the single SSID configuration information in the related art, and is not described herein again.

In step 206, a wireless hotspot service and a DHCP service are respectively started according to the hotspot configuration file and the DHCP configuration file, where the wireless hotspot service allows the connection device to connect to a corresponding wireless hotspot by using a hotspot password corresponding to the SSID.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, according to the fact that the number of SSIDs of wireless hotspots of the same WiFi module is greater than 1, single SSID configuration information or multiple SSID configuration information is generated, so that the same WiFi module provides a wireless hotspot with a single SSID or a plurality of SSID wireless hotspots, multiple functions are achieved, and cost can be saved when multiple wireless hotspots are provided.
