In addition, the sequence of steps in each method embodiment described below is only an example and is not strictly limited.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a working principle of a network configuration system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the network configuration system includes: the system comprises a distribution network device, a device to be networked and a server.

The server may be a host located in the cloud.

The device to be networked may be a terminal device such as a smart refrigerator, a smart speaker, a robot, etc., which is not yet connected to a certain wireless network, and thus is referred to as a device to be networked.

The network distribution equipment can be user terminal equipment such as a mobile phone and a tablet computer, and the network distribution equipment can already access a certain wireless network through network equipment such as a router, for example, the mobile phone of a user already accesses a home WiFi network through a wireless router installed in home.

It should be noted that the distribution network device may also be a terminal device without a human-computer interaction screen, such as an intelligent refrigerator or an intelligent sound box that has been accessed to the wireless network, and at this time, the distribution network device may locally store the network configuration information of the router that has been configured for the distribution network device and is accessed to the distribution network device, so as to perform network configuration on the device to be accessed to the network that has not been accessed to the network.

The distribution network application program can run in the distribution network equipment, and the network configuration of the equipment to be networked is realized through the distribution network application program.

In this embodiment, the network distribution device and the device to be networked are two devices that belong to the same user, and the two devices are mainly different from each other in that: the distribution network equipment has access to the wireless network, and the equipment to be networked has not access to the wireless network.

In this embodiment, one of the main functions of the server is to maintain the correspondence between the user information and the device information of the user, so as to verify whether the device to be networked has the access right based on the correspondence. How this correspondence is obtained is explained first below:

as shown in fig. 1, optionally, the network configuration system may further include: and the shopping platform responds to the purchase behavior of the device to be networked of the user and sends the device information of the device to be networked and the user information of the user to the server.

In practical application, when a user purchases a certain device through the shopping platform according to user information (such as a user name), the shopping platform may register device information of the device to be sold to the user and the user information of the user to a cloud server, so that the server records a correspondence between the device information and the user information (the correspondence is also commonly referred to as a device white list of the user), and after the registration is successful, the shopping platform sells the device to the user.

It should be noted that, when the user purchases the distribution network device first, the server stores the corresponding relationship between the user information and the device information of the distribution network device. Assuming that the distribution network device is the first device purchased by the user, the network configuration may be performed on the distribution network device in a conventional manner, so that the distribution network device is accessed to the wireless network. And then the user purchases the equipment to be accessed, and at the moment, the corresponding relation between the user information and the equipment information of the equipment to be accessed is stored in the server. And at the moment, the distribution network equipment is already accessed to the wireless network, so that the automatic network configuration of the equipment to be accessed to the network can be realized by means of the distribution network equipment.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the device information uniquely identifies one device, and may include information such as a device manufacturer, a device serial number, and a device password.

The automatic network configuration process for a device to be networked may simply comprise the steps provided in fig. 1: in step s1, after the device to be networked is powered on, a distribution network packet is broadcast and sent, where the distribution network packet includes device information of the device to be networked. In practical applications, the distribution network packet may be implemented by some management frame specified in the IEEE 802.11MAC layer protocol, for example, by a Probe request (Probe request) management frame, where some fields in a header (header) and/or a body (frame body) of the management frame carry the device information of the device to be networked. It can be understood that the distribution network packet is continuously broadcast and sent only when the device to be networked has not been accessed to the wireless network, and the distribution network packet is not broadcast and sent after the device to be networked is accessed to the wireless network.

In step s2, the distribution network device listens to the distribution network packet sent by the device to be networked, and the device information of the device to be networked is analyzed from the distribution network packet.

In step s3, the distribution network device queries the server to determine that the device to be networked has a network access right. And step s4, the server informs the distribution network equipment that the equipment to be networked has the network access authority. Specifically, the distribution network device may send an inquiry request to the server, where the inquiry request includes device information of the distribution network device and device information of the device to be networked, which is obtained through analysis. The server determines whether the equipment information of the distribution network equipment and the equipment information of the equipment to be accessed correspond to the same user information according to the corresponding relation between the locally maintained user information and the equipment information, if so, the equipment to be accessed is indicated to have the access right, and the server sends a notification that the equipment to be accessed has the access right to the distribution network equipment.

After the distribution network device receives the notification sent by the server, in step s5, the distribution network device sends the network configuration information of the router to the device to be networked. In step s6, the device to be networked accesses the router according to the network configuration information.

The network configuration information includes information such as a Service Set Identifier (SSID) corresponding to the router, an access password, and a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID).

In summary, as long as a certain user already has a device that has already accessed the wireless network, other devices that have not accessed the wireless network and are subsequently purchased by the user can all implement automatic network configuration for the devices that have not accessed the wireless network by using the above-mentioned scheme. And the equipment which is not accessed to the wireless network is subjected to access right verification by combining the equipment white list of the user, so that the access safety of the equipment which is not accessed to the wireless network to which the user belongs can be ensured, and the equipment which is not accessed to the wireless network of the user is prevented from being accessed to the wireless network of the user.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a network configuration process according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the method may include the following steps:

201. and responding to the purchase behavior of the device to be networked by the user, and sending the device information and the user information of the device to be networked to the server by the shopping platform.

202. And the server updates the equipment white list of the user according to the received equipment information and the user information of the equipment to be networked.

203. The server feeds back confirmation information to the shopping platform.

204. And the shopping platform sells the equipment to be networked to the user.

205. And powering on the equipment to be networked, broadcasting and sending a distribution network packet, wherein the distribution network packet comprises the equipment information of the equipment to be networked.

206. The network distribution equipment monitors the network distribution packet and analyzes the equipment information of the equipment to be networked.

207. And the distribution network equipment reports the analyzed equipment information of the equipment to be networked to the server.

208. And the server inquires the user information corresponding to the distribution network equipment and inquires that the equipment information of the equipment to be networked exists under the user information.

209. And the server sends a notice that the equipment to be accessed to the network has the access right to the network distribution equipment.

210. The distribution network equipment sends a key acquisition request to the server, wherein the key acquisition request comprises equipment information of the equipment to be networked.

211. And the server generates a key corresponding to the equipment to be accessed according to the equipment information of the equipment to be accessed.

Optionally, the key obtaining request may further carry a random number randomly generated by the network distribution device, so that the server may perform hash operation on the device information of the device to be networked and a splicing result of the random number to obtain a key corresponding to the device to be networked.

The splicing of the device information of the device to be networked and the random number may be according to a set sequence.

Alternatively, the hash operation result may be determined as the key, or a character string of a preset length that is extracted from the hash operation result may be used as the key.

Of course, the server may also directly perform an encryption operation on the device information of the device to be networked by using a certain encryption algorithm to obtain a corresponding key.

212. And the server sends the generated key to the distribution network equipment.

213. The network distribution equipment encrypts the network configuration information of the router by adopting the key.

214. And the distribution network equipment sends the encrypted network configuration information to the equipment to be accessed.

Optionally, as mentioned above, if the distribution network device generates a random number for the server to generate the key, at this time, the distribution network device sends the encrypted network configuration information and the random number to the device to be networked together.

215. And the equipment to be accessed to the network generates a secret key according to the equipment information of the equipment, decrypts according to the generated secret key to obtain network configuration information, and accesses to the router according to the network configuration information.

The mode of the device to be networked generating the key according to the random number received from the network distribution device and the device information of the device to be networked is the same as the mode of the server generating the key, and is not described herein.

216. And the equipment to be networked sends a networking notice to the server to inform the server that the equipment to be networked is already networked.

217. And the server updates the networking state corresponding to the equipment to be networked according to the networking notification.

In practical application, when the server subsequently wants to perform some network control on the device to be networked, the premise of performing the network control is that the device to be networked already accesses the wireless network, and therefore, after the device to be networked successfully accesses the router, a networking notification can be sent to the server, and the server marks the device to be networked in a networked state. In this way, for example, when a subsequent server needs to send a certain service message to each networked device based on the trigger of the administrator, the server may send the service message to the device to be networked based on the networking status marking result of the device to be networked.

The following describes specific execution actions of each component in the network configuration system in the process of configuring the network for the user.
