The network to be accessed is a network in which a server to be accessed of the second device is located. The network access device may include routers, switches, wireless access points, and the like. Where the routers are able to understand different protocols, such as the ethernet protocol used by a certain local area network, the TCP/IP protocol used by the internet. Thus, the network access equipment can analyze the destination addresses of data packets transmitted by various different types of networks and convert the addresses of non-TCP/IP networks into TCP/IP addresses or vice versa; and then the data packets are transmitted to the designated location according to the selected algorithm according to the optimal route. The network access device may connect the local area network to the network to be accessed.

The Local Area Network may include a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and the WLAN refers to a Network system that interconnects computer devices by using a Wireless communication technology to communicate with each other and implement resource sharing.

In an embodiment, the identification information of the candidate network access device may be represented in the form of a wifi signal name.

In an embodiment, a near field communication method may be adopted, so that a first device and a second device establish a communication connection, and then, based on near field communication, identification information of a candidate network access device connectable to the second device is obtained from the second device.

In one embodiment, the information exchange between the first device and the second device can be realized by presetting UUIDs of bluetooth communication, and the UUIDs used by the two devices of the communication are the same to perform information transmission.

In the bluetooth protocol, a UUID (universal Unique Identifier) is used to identify a Service (Service) and a feature (characteristics) provided by a bluetooth device. The UUID is a long string of numbers calculated according to a certain algorithm, and the generation of the number uses various elements, so that the string of numbers is not repeated, and different sequences are generated every time, so that the UUID can be used as a unique identifier of services and features.

The data under the BLE (bluetooth Low Energy) protocol is communicated (i.e., transmitted and exchanged) by using three main classes, namely bluetooth gateway service (service), bluetooth gateway characterization and bluetooth gateway descriptor (description). A device may have multiple "services," which are constituent units of a protocol stack of a BLE device, each "service" may include one or more "features" for implementing transmission of data information, allowing "features" such as read (read), write (write), notification (notify) and the like to be defined for different operations, and the "features" are also uniquely identified by UUIDs. A "feature" comprises a data value and an additional description of the "feature". "description" is used to describe the class of "features" which also contains a value.

In an embodiment, UUID channels used when performing the information exchange service may be predefined in the programs of the first device and the second device, and the role of each UUID channel may be predefined, and then, when the first device and the second device exchange the specified information, the specified UUID channels are used, and referring to fig. 5a, the UUID channels used in each step in the network connection process may be predefined according to the contents in the following table.

The identification information of the candidate network access device may be represented as a wifi list scanned by the second device. Accordingly, a wifi list scanned by the second device can be displayed on the interface of the first device. According to the above embodiment, the first device may acquire the wifi list scanned by the second device through the UUID channel of "00003 a 03-0000-. Specifically, the wifi list includes a plurality of wifi signal names, and the user can click on the wifi signal names in the wifi list to select the target network access device.

And acquiring the identification information of the candidate access equipment scanned by the second equipment from the second equipment, and displaying the identification information in the first equipment for the user to select, so that the target access equipment selected by the user can be ensured to be connectable to the second equipment. Meanwhile, when the second device is a non-screen device, the user can perform visual operation in the first device, and the access device used by the second device is selected autonomously according to the requirement of the user.

103. And acquiring connection authentication information input by a user aiming at the target network access equipment.

The connection authentication information is information required when the user is connected to the local area network where the target network access device is located, and can be expressed as a wifi password.

In an embodiment, when the first device detects a selection operation of a user for a candidate network access device, a connection authentication page corresponding to a target network access device selected by the user is displayed, and the user may input corresponding connection authentication information, such as a wifi password, on the connection authentication page.

According to the above embodiment, the first device may send the connection authentication information to the second device through the UUID channel of "00003 a 04-0000-.

When the verification is passed, if the local area network where the target network access device is located opens the DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) service, an IP address is automatically allocated to the second device.

105. And when the verification is passed, triggering the second equipment to be connected to the network to be accessed through the target network access equipment.

In an embodiment, when the authentication is passed, triggering the second device to connect to the network to be accessed through the target network access device may specifically include the following steps:

when the verification is passed, triggering the second device to connect to the target network access device;

When the second device is successfully or unsuccessfully connected to the target network access device, the first device may receive a connection result message sent by the second device. In order to facilitate the user to investigate the reason of the network connection failure, when the second device fails to connect with the target network access device, the connection result information may be displayed on the interface of the first device.

When the second device is successfully or unsuccessfully connected to the server to be accessed, the first device may receive a connection result message sent by the second device. In order to facilitate the user to investigate the reason of the network connection failure, when the second device fails to connect with the server to be accessed, the connection result information may be displayed on the interface of the first device.

Before obtaining the identification information of the candidate network access device which can be connected by the second device from the second device, the method further comprises the following steps:

Wherein the network connection state information is information indicating whether the second device has been connected to the network to be accessed. In an embodiment, if the second device is already connected to the network to be accessed, the network connection status information includes distribution network information for verifying connection qualification when connecting to the network to be accessed.

The distribution network refers to a process of enabling the intelligent device to be connected with a network and communicating with the background server. Generally, the network of the intelligent device distribution needs to know the wifi account number, the password and the identity of the intelligent device to be connected. The distribution network information is also called a distribution network code, wherein the distribution network information is an authorization credential sent by the server to be accessed to the second device, and indicates that the server to be accessed allows the second device to access and operate. The distribution network information may include numbers, pictures, letters, combinations thereof, and the like.

When the second device is already connected to the network to be accessed, only for switching the network access device used for connecting the network to be accessed, that is, switching to connect the second device to the network to be accessed through the target network access device, it is not necessary to bind the second device with the server to be accessed again. This may increase the speed with which the second device is connected to the network to be accessed.

In an embodiment, triggering the second device to connect to the network to be accessed through the target network access device may specifically include the following steps:

when the network connection state information indicates that the second device is not connected with the network to be accessed, acquiring distribution network information of the second device in the network to be accessed, and triggering the second device to be connected with the network to be accessed through the target access device based on the distribution network information.

In an embodiment, referring to the table above and fig. 5a, after the distribution network information is acquired, the first device may send the distribution network information to the second device through the "00003 a 07-0000-. And an instruction is sent to the second device through' 00003a 08-0000-.

In an embodiment, when the network connection status information indicates that the second device is not connected to the network to be accessed, acquiring distribution network information of the second device in the network to be accessed may specifically include the following steps:

sending the access authentication information to a server to be accessed in the network to be accessed;

The access authentication information refers to that when the second device registers with the server to be accessed (it can be understood that when the second device establishes access authentication association with the server to be accessed), the server to be accessed gives an identity of the second device for identifying whether the second device has a qualification for acquiring a service of the server to be accessed, and the identity may be represented as information such as a device version and an activation code of the second device. After the access authentication information is verified and passed by the server to be accessed, the distribution network information can be returned to the first device. When the first device cannot send a request to the server to be accessed, the second device can also obtain the distribution network information, and the first device triggers the second device to obtain the distribution network information from the server to be accessed.

In one embodiment, when a user connects to a network to be accessed using a network access device in a public place, the user usually needs to pass portal authentication to normally communicate with the network to be accessed. The Portal authentication is also called Web authentication generally, and when an unauthenticated user accesses the Internet, the second equipment forces the user to log in a specific site, and the user can access a server in the site free of charge. When the user needs to use other information in the internet, authentication must be performed on the portal site, and the internet resources can be used only after the authentication is passed.

Referring to fig. 5b, if portal authentication is required to normally access the to-be-accessed server, after triggering the second device to connect to the to-be-accessed network through the target network access device, the method further includes the following steps:

The identity authentication information is information used by the identity authentication server to verify the legal identity of the user of the second device, and may be expressed as a user account and a password corresponding to the user account.

Wherein, the identity authentication server is a Portal authentication server. The Portal authentication server may include multiple servers, such as an AAA server, a mac binding server, and the like. For specific functions of different servers, reference is made to the following embodiments, which are not described in detail.

In an embodiment, when the second device is successfully or unsuccessfully connected to the authentication network, the first device may receive a connection result message sent by the second device. In order to facilitate the user to investigate the reason of the network connection failure, when the second device fails to connect to the authentication network, the connection result information may be displayed on the interface of the first device.

106. And receiving the connection result information returned by the second equipment.

Wherein the connection result information is information indicating whether the second device and the target device are successfully connected. The connection result information may be divided into a plurality of types according to the usage of the target device, for example, a connection result between the second device and the target network access device, and a connection result between the second device and the server to be accessed.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 5a, when the second device is successfully connected to the server to be accessed, the second device may further return a notification message of the end of the distribution network to the first device, and referring to the table above, the notification message may be transmitted through the UUID channel of "00003 a 09-0000-.

For example, when the second device is successfully or unsuccessfully connected to the target network access device, the first device may receive a connection result message sent by the second device. In order to facilitate the user to investigate the reason of the network connection failure, when the second device fails to connect with the target network access device, the connection result information may be displayed on the interface of the first device.

For example, when the second device is successfully or unsuccessfully connected to the server to be accessed, the first device may receive a connection result message sent by the second device. In order to facilitate the user to investigate the reason of the network connection failure, when the second device fails to connect with the server to be accessed, the connection result information may be displayed on the interface of the first device.
