In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless specifically limited otherwise.

A token is a special frame that can control a station to occupy the medium to distinguish data frames from other control frames.

The Token method (Token granting) is also called a license method, the Token method used for the Ring-type structure lan is called a Token Ring access control method (Token Ring), and the Token method used for the Bus-type structure lan is called a Token Bus access control method (Token Bus).

The basic idea of the token method is: a unique token (a code consisting of one or more binary digits) is sent from one node to another, and only the node that obtains the token has the right to send the packet. When a station is ready to send message information, it first waits for the arrival of a token, and when it detects that a token passing by it is an empty token, it can send information in units of "frame", and sets the token busy to send information to the next station. The next station forwards the information which passes through the station but does not belong to the information accepted by the station. Since there are no idle tokens in the ring, other stations that wish to transmit must wait.

The receiving process comprises the following steps: each station detects the information passing through the station at any time, when the destination address appointed by the information packet is the same as the address of the station, the information packet is continuously forwarded while all relevant information is copied, and the frame information on the ring is recovered by the original sending point after surrounding the ring for one circle. Working in this way, the transmission is always under the control of the source station, and only after the source station sending the information packet gives up the transmission right to put the token in "null", other stations get the token and have the opportunity to send their own information.

The method and the device realize intelligent passing authentication of the wireless routing equipment based on a token mechanism so as to realize a self-controllable authorization authentication mode of the wireless routing equipment.

In some embodiments, when receiving the one or more first token information sent by the wireless routing device, the network device determines a mapping relationship between the wireless routing device and the one or more first token information according to identification information of the wireless routing device (e.g., access point identification information or MAC address of a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device), and establishes a token information base based on the mapping relationship, for example, if the wireless routing device a generates the one or more first token information a, a mapping relationship exists between the identification information of the wireless routing device a (e.g., access point identification information or MAC address of a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device) and the one or more first token information a. In other embodiments, a token information base is provided in the network device. The token information base includes one or more token information, a mapping relationship exists between each token information and the wireless routing device, and the network device updates the token information base after receiving one or more first token information sent by the wireless routing device (for example, the token information base adds the first token information and stores the mapping relationship between the first token information and the wireless routing device).

In step S301, the user equipment establishes a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device. In some embodiments, the user device has established a wireless connection with a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device.

In step S3021, the user equipment transmits a token query request to a corresponding network device, where the token query request includes access point identification information or MAC address information of a wireless access point to which the user equipment is connected. In some embodiments, the user device achieves the purpose of using the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device by sending a token query request to the corresponding network device. In some embodiments, the user device is already establishing a wireless connection with a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device. The token inquiry request includes access point identification information (e.g., SSID) or MAC address information of a wireless access point to which the user equipment is connected.

In step S203, the network device receives a token query request sent by a user device. In some embodiments, the token query request includes access point identification information or MAC address information of a wireless access point to which the user equipment is connected. And the access point identification information or the MAC address information of the wireless access point is used for identifying the wireless routing equipment so that the network equipment can inquire whether second token information corresponding to the wireless routing equipment exists in the token information base.

In step S204, the network device queries from the token information base to obtain second token information corresponding to the token query request, where the second token information is matched with the access point identification information or the MAC address information. In some embodiments, the second token information comprises a code of one or more bit binary digits. The token information base comprises one or more token information, and a mapping relation exists between each token information and the wireless routing equipment. The network device may query whether there is a corresponding wireless routing device in a token information base according to the access point identification information or the MAC address information of the wireless access point to which the user device is connected. If the corresponding wireless routing device exists, the corresponding second token information can be determined according to the mapping relation between the wireless routing device and the token information.

In some embodiments, the network device is provided with a token information base, and the token information base comprises one or more pieces of token information. The network device manages the one or more token information through a token information base. For example, if the network device includes a management device corresponding to the wireless routing device, the token information base includes one or more pieces of first token information generated by the wireless routing device. The network device may set usage rights for the one or more first token information for gratuitous or gratuitous use based on a setting of a user (e.g., an administrative user of the wireless routing device). For example, the network device queries the token information base for the second token information based on the token query request of the user device, which is free, requires a certain fee payment, or is based on points. For another example, the network device is a third-party platform, a third-party network device, or a system provided with a token information base, where the token information base includes one or more token information. And each token information corresponds to a wireless routing device. The network device may set the usage rights for the one or more token information for free or paid use based on a setting of a user (e.g., an administrative user for each wireless routing device). For example, the network device queries the token information base for the second token information based on the token query request of the user device, which is free, requires a certain fee payment, or is based on points. In some embodiments, the user device obtains the second token information by paying a consideration; in other embodiments, the user device pays a price to the network device where the second token information is stored when the first token information is invalidated (e.g., beyond a single longest connection duration).

Here, it should be noted that the first token information is token information generated by a wireless routing device and used for authorizing access to a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device; the second token information is token information obtained by the network device through inquiring in a token information base based on access point identification information or MAC address information of a wireless access point connected with the user device. In some embodiments, the second token information does not have authorized access rights. That is, the first token information and the second token information are only used to distinguish that the token information is generated by the wireless routing device and sent to the network device by the user equipment, respectively.

In step S205, the network device sends the second token information to the user equipment. In some embodiments, if there is second token information in the token information base, where the second token information matches access point identification information or MAC address information included in a token query request sent by a user equipment, a network device sends the second token information to the user equipment.

In step S3022, the ue receives second token information that matches the access point identification information or the MAC address information and is returned by the network device. In some embodiments, the user equipment receives the second token information, and the second token information is sent as authentication information to the corresponding wireless routing device for authentication.

In step S3023, the user equipment transmits an authentication request to the wireless routing device, wherein the authentication request includes the second token information. In some embodiments, the user equipment obtains the second token information matching the access point identification information or the MAC address of the connected wireless access point by sending a token query request to the network equipment. Further, the user equipment sends an authentication request to the wireless routing equipment with the mapping relation of the second token information. Wherein the authentication request includes the second token information. The second token information is used for authenticating whether the wireless routing equipment comprises the first token information matched with the second token information or not so as to acquire the use right of the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing equipment.

In step S103, the wireless routing device receives an authentication request sent by a user equipment after establishing a wireless connection with a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device, where the authentication request includes second token information. In some embodiments, the wireless routing device receives an authentication request sent by a user equipment, wherein the authentication request includes the second token information.

In step S104, if one of the one or more first token information matches the second token information, the user equipment is authenticated through the authentication request and authorized to use the wireless connection. In some embodiments, the wireless routing device is configured to authenticate an authentication request sent by a user equipment. For example, a wireless routing device generates one or more first token information that is used to authorize access to a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device. When the authentication is passed, the user equipment can be authorized to use the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device. In some embodiments, the second token information included in the authentication request sent by the user equipment by the authentication rule of the wireless routing equipment is included in one or more first token information generated and issued by the wireless routing equipment.

In step 303, the user equipment receives authentication result information returned by the wireless routing device based on the authentication request. In some embodiments, the authentication result information includes first token information that matches the second token information and exists in the wireless routing device, and the user device can use the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device through the first token information if the authentication is passed, for example, the user obtains the usage right of the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device by inputting the first token information; in other embodiments, the authentication result information includes prompt information that no token information is available, for example, if one or more first token information generated by the wireless routing device does not match the second token information, the authentication is not passed, and the user device may not use the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device.

Specifically, in step S101, the wireless routing device generates one or more first token information, where each first token information is used to authorize access to a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device. The first token information includes a code consisting of one or more bit binary digits. In some embodiments, the first token information is randomly generated, e.g., a random number generated by a password generator or a random number generator; in other embodiments, the first token information is a fixed code set by a user. In some embodiments, a wireless routing device provides one or more wireless access points. When the wireless routing device provides a plurality of wireless access points and generates a plurality of first token information. In some embodiments, the first token information and the wireless access points are in a one-to-one correspondence, for example, one first token information corresponds to an authorization to access one wireless access point; in some embodiments, the first token information and the wireless access points are in a one-to-many relationship, for example, one first token information corresponds to several wireless access points among the wireless access points.

In some embodiments, when the second token information is included in the one or more first token information generated by the wireless routing device, the wireless routing device verifies that the authentication request passes, and the user device can connect using a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device.

In some embodiments, to further enable autonomy of wireless routing devices. The step S104 includes detecting whether the authentication request satisfies token configuration information corresponding to one of the one or more first token information if the one of the one or more first token information matches the second token information; and if so, authenticating the authentication request and authorizing the user equipment to use the wireless connection. In some embodiments, the first token information corresponds with token configuration information, e.g., the wireless routing device sets the corresponding token configuration information for each first token information when generating the one or more first token information. In some embodiments, the token configuration information is used to detect whether an authentication request sent by the user equipment meets a condition that authentication passes. For example, the token configuration information includes allowed connection period information corresponding to the first token information, for example, a wireless access point authorized to access by the first token information is allowed to connect only in a period of "9-11; for another example, the token configuration information includes remaining available connection duration information corresponding to the first token information, for example, the total duration of the allowed connection of the wireless access point authorized to be accessed by the first token information is 12 hours, the wireless routing device determines the remaining connection duration of the wireless access point authorized to be accessed by the first token information by recording the connection duration of the wireless access point authorized to be accessed by the first token information, and when the remaining duration is 0, the authorized access is stopped. In some embodiments, the token configuration information is generated based on settings of an administrative user of the wireless routing device; in other embodiments, the token configuration information is owned by the wireless routing device itself, e.g., set by a vendor setting when the wireless routing device is manufactured. In this embodiment, the authorized access right of the wireless routing device is further increased by configuring token configuration information for one or more pieces of first token information, for example, the token configuration information corresponding to the first token information is also required to satisfy a certain condition in addition to requiring that second token information in an authentication request sent by the user device is matched with the first token information.

In some embodiments, the step S101 further includes: and obtaining token configuration information corresponding to at least one of the one or more first token information set by the management user of the wireless routing equipment.

In this embodiment, the administrative user can set the token configuration information as needed. In some embodiments, the usage strength of the wireless routing device is increased, for example, if the usage frequency of a wireless access point authorized to be accessed by certain first token information is higher in a time period "6. For example, the administrative user sets the allowed connection period corresponding to the first token information to "22.

In some embodiments, the step S101 includes a step S1011 (not shown) and a step S1012 (not shown). In step S1011, the wireless routing device obtains sharing request information, which is submitted by a management user of the wireless routing device and is about a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device; in step S1012, the wireless routing device generates one or more first token information according to the sharing request information, where each first token information is used to authorize access to a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device. In some embodiments, the sharing request information is sent to the wireless routing device as a first token information generation instruction, and the wireless routing device generates one or more pieces of first token information after receiving the sharing request information uploaded by a management user; in some embodiments, the sharing request information includes sharing configuration information set by the management user and related to the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device, for example, the management user sets sharing configuration information corresponding to the first token information when uploading the sharing request information, and the wireless routing device generates corresponding token configuration information according to the sharing configuration information. In this embodiment, the wireless routing device generates corresponding first token information by obtaining sharing request information (the sharing request information includes sharing configuration information) uploaded by a management user. Authorized access authority management of the wireless routing device is achieved. When a management user wants to share the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device, the management user uploads the sharing request information to the wireless routing device to generate corresponding first token information, and when other users obtain the first token information, the management user can connect and use the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device.

In some embodiments, the sharing request information includes sharing configuration information set by the management user and about a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device; wherein the step S1012 includes: generating one or more first token information and token configuration information corresponding to each first token information according to the sharing request information, wherein each first token information and the token configuration information corresponding to the first token information are used for authorizing access to a wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device, and the token configuration information corresponding to each first token information is determined based on the sharing configuration information; wherein the step 104 comprises: if one of the one or more first token information is matched with the second token information, detecting whether the authentication request meets token configuration information corresponding to the one first token information; and if so, authenticating the authentication request and authorizing the user equipment to use the wireless connection. In some embodiments, the sharing request information includes sharing configuration information, and the sharing configuration information is set by an administrative user. It should be noted that the administrative user includes an owner or user of the wireless routing device, or other users, and no limitation is imposed on the administrative user. In some embodiments, the sharing request information is set for payment by the administrative user. For example, the user needs to pay to obtain the share.

For example, the management user a wants to share the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device a owned by the management user a. The management user A uploads sharing request information to the wireless routing device a to realize sharing use of the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing device a. When the management user A uploads the sharing request information, the use permission of the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing equipment can be set in a mode of setting sharing configuration information. For example, the duration that the management user a allows other users to connect to the wireless access point (for example, wifi 1) provided by the wireless routing device a is 12 hours, and the wifi1 corresponds to the first token information i. The management user a may set the available connection duration of the first token information i to 12 hours when setting the sharing configuration information. The wireless routing device a determines the remaining available connection duration information by recording and calculating the connected duration of the wifi1, and further stops the authorized access of the first token information i to the wifi1 when the remaining available connection duration information is 0.

In some embodiments, the token configuration information comprises at least any one of: the connection allowing period information corresponding to the first token information; the remaining available connection duration information corresponding to the first token information; the device type information which is allowed to be accessed and corresponds to the first token information; and the first token information corresponds to the identification information of the wireless access point allowing access.

For example, the one of the first token information corresponds to the allowed connection period information. The connection permission period information includes division of an arbitrary period, for example, a period "9-11. When one or more pieces of first token information generated by the wireless routing equipment is matched with the received second token information, the wireless routing equipment further detects whether the token configuration information of the corresponding first token information meets the condition. For example, whether the time when the user equipment connects to the wireless access point authorized to be accessed by the first token information is within the allowed connection period information, if yes, the authentication is passed, and if not, the authentication is different.

For another example, the remaining available connection duration information corresponding to the one first token information. And the wireless routing equipment determines the remaining available connection time length information by recording and calculating the connected time length information of the wireless access point corresponding to the first token information. For example, when there is a match between one or more pieces of first token information generated by the wireless routing device and the received second token information, the wireless routing device further detects whether the token configuration information of the corresponding first token information satisfies a condition. For example, whether the remaining available connection duration for the user equipment to connect to the wireless access point authorized to be accessed by the first token information is greater than 0 is determined, if yes, the authentication is passed, and if not, the authentication is different.

For another example, the first token information corresponds to device type information allowed to be accessed. For example, to prevent possible virus spread or bandwidth occupation. The management user only allows the ios user equipment or the Android user equipment to connect with the wireless access point provided by the wireless routing equipment, and the management user can enable the wireless routing equipment to generate corresponding token configuration information in a mode of setting the equipment type information allowed to be accessed in the shared configuration information.

For another example, the first token information corresponds to the allowed access wireless access point identification information. For example, in some embodiments, the wireless routing device provides one or more wireless access points to which the first token information generated by the wireless routing device may authorize access. The management user can set the wireless access point which the management user wants to share according to the requirement. For example, the first token information authorizes access to a plurality of wireless access points (e.g., wifi1, wifi2, wifi3, etc.). The wireless access point that the management user wishes to share is wifi2. The management user may set the wifi2 as a wireless access point allowing access when setting the sharing configuration information, and the token configuration information generated by the wireless routing device includes the access point identification information of the wifi2. The wireless routing equipment can authorize the user equipment to connect with the wifi2 according to the wifi2 access point identification information in the token configuration information corresponding to the first token information.

Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the token configuration information described above is merely an example, and other existing or future token configuration information that may be available, such as may be applicable, is included within the scope of the present application and is included by reference.
