With continued reference to fig. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a WiFi connection method in accordance with the present application is shown. The WiFi connection method comprises the following steps:

step 201, in response to the opening of the WiFi connection application, displaying a WiFi list in the WiFi connection application.

In this embodiment, in a case that the user opens the WiFi connection application, the terminal (for example, the terminal 101 shown in fig. 1) may present a WiFi list in the WiFi connection application.

In practical application, a terminal is provided with a WiFi connection application. When the user clicks on the icon of the WiFi connection application, the WiFi connection application may be considered to be turned on. At this time, the terminal displays a main page of the WiFi connection application, and displays a WiFi list on the main page. The WiFi list may include the WiFi scanned by the terminal. Specifically, after the user opens the WiFi connection application, the terminal may scan WiFi in its vicinity, and display information of the scanned WiFi on the main page in a form of a list. The information of WiFi may include, but is not limited to, identification of WiFi, signal strength of WiFi, whether WiFi is encrypted, and so on. Typically, WiFi can only be scanned if the terminal is within coverage of WiFi.

Step 202, access information of available WiFi in the WiFi list is obtained from the WiFi connection server corresponding to the WiFi connection application.

In this embodiment, the terminal may obtain access information of available WiFi in the WiFi list from a WiFi connection server (e.g., the server 102 shown in fig. 1) corresponding to the WiFi connection application. The WiFi connection server is a background server of the WiFi connection application. The WiFi available is the WiFi to which the terminal can successfully connect. The access information may be information for accessing WiFi, such as a password, an authentication code, and the like.

In practical applications, the WiFi connection server may store access information of a large amount of WiFi. The terminal can acquire the identification and the position of the WiFi in the WiFi list and send the identification and the position to the WiFi connection server. The WiFi connection server may find access information of available WiFi based on the identification and location of WiFi in the WiFi list and return to the terminal. Specifically, the WiFi connection server may search for corresponding access information based on the identifier and the location of the WiFi in the WiFi list, and if the access information is found, the corresponding WiFi is an available WiFi. And searching access information based on the identification and the position of the WiFi, and for different WiFi with the same identification, accurately searching the access information corresponding to the WiFi.

Step 203, displaying connectable identifiers at the WiFi available in the WiFi list, and displaying local service authentication identifiers at the WiFi of at least one associated service provider.

In this embodiment, the terminal may display the connectable identifiers at the available WiFi in the WiFi list and the local service authentication identifier at the WiFi of at least one associated service provider. Wherein the available WiFi may include at least one WiFi associated with the service provider. The service provider may be a merchant that provides local services, such as a restaurant that provides an order service or an allelic service. The connectable identification may be used to prompt the user that WiFi is connectable. Displaying the connectable identification may facilitate the user in selecting an available WiFi for connection. The connectable identification may for example be a key identification. The local service authentication identity may be used to prompt the user for a WiFi associated service provider. Displaying the local service authentication identifier may facilitate the user to access the local service by selecting WiFi. The local service authentication identifier is, for example, an asterisk identifier.

The connectable identification is displayed at the available WiFi position, the local service authentication identification is displayed at the WiFi position of the associated service provider, a user can conveniently select the corresponding WiFi to connect according to the requirement, the WiFi does not need to be connected firstly and then enters the local service platform, the user operation is simplified, and the user experience is improved.

Typically, one WiFi can only be associated with one service provider, and one service provider can be associated with at least one WiFi. In some embodiments, the WiFi associated with the service provider may be WiFi provided by the service provider or claimed WiFi. For example, a service provider may deploy WiFi in a location that provides local services and share access information of the WiFi to a WiFi connection server to associate WiFi provided by the service provider with the service provider. For another example, a service provider may claim WiFi deployed near a location that provides local services, access information of the WiFi being shared by the provider of the WiFi to a WiFi connection server to associate the service provider-claimed WiFi with the service provider.

WiFi or claim WiFi provided by the service provider is associated with the service provider, so that the service provider is effectively stimulated to share or claim the WiFi, and the enthusiasm of the service provider for sharing the claim WiFi is improved.

And step 204, responding to the connection of one WiFi selected from the WiFi of at least one associated service provider, and acquiring and displaying local service information of the associated service provider of the one WiFi.

In this embodiment, the user may select WiFi of at least one associated service provider in the WiFi list. If the user selects one of the WiFi for connection, the terminal may obtain the local service information of the service provider associated with the WiFi for display. The local service information can point to the local service interface, and when the user clicks the local service information, the user can jump to the local service interface.

In some embodiments, the terminal may obtain the local service information of the selected WiFi associated service provider from the local service server or the WiFi router for display. The WiFi router may pre-store the local service information in a connection portal page of WiFi.

In some embodiments, the WiFi connection server stores access information of WiFi associated with the service provider, and also stores local service information of the associated service provider. Therefore, the local service information of the WiFi related service provider is obtained while the WiFi access information of the related service provider is found. The WiFi access information and the local service information of the associated service provider are correspondingly stored, the local service information can be obtained while the access information is searched, and the searching efficiency is improved. At this time, the terminal may determine whether the selected local service information of the WiFi exists in the local service information acquired in advance from the WiFi connection server. If yes, local service information of the WiFi-related service provider is acquired from the local service information acquired in advance and displayed; and if the service information does not exist, the local service information of the WiFi related service provider is acquired from the local service server or the WiFi router for displaying.

The WiFi connection server stores a part of local service information in advance and sends the access information of the available WiFi in the WiFi list to the terminal at the same time. Therefore, when the user selects WiFi of the associated service provider to connect, the local service information is directly searched from the local without searching from a local service server, and the time for searching the local service information is saved.

In practical applications, the local service server may be a background server of the local service platform, and may store a large amount of local service information, including but not limited to local service information, push information of a service provider, and the like. Generally, the local service server can correspondingly store the local service information and the identification and the position of the service provider, improve the corresponding relation between the service provider and the WiFi, and save the operation labor for improving the data. The terminal may send the selected identity of the WiFi to the WiFi connection server. The WiFi connection server may look up the identity and location of the associated service provider based on this WiFi identity and send to the local service server. The local service server can find the local service information based on the identification and the position of the associated service provider and return the local service information to the terminal.

The terminal, the WiFi connection server and the local service server are interacted to acquire local service information, so that WiFi connection application and local service depth are combined.

In response to completing the local service based on the local service information, a WiFi is connected, step 205.

In this embodiment, in the case where the local service is completed based on the selected local service information, the terminal may connect the WiFi. Subsequently, jumping to the internet content for the user to browse.

Typically, when a user clicks on local service information, a local service interface may be entered. When the user completes the local service on the local service interface, the terminal can access the WiFi based on the selected access information of the WiFi. For example, for a meal order service interface, the user accesses this WiFi after completing a meal order thereon. For another example, for an allelic service interface, the user accesses the WiFi after completing an allelic operation on the service interface.

It should be noted that the process of completing the local service does not generally consume the data traffic of the user.

According to the WiFi connection method provided by the embodiment of the application, firstly, when the WiFi connection application is started, a WiFi list is displayed in the WiFi connection application; then, access information of available WiFi in the WiFi list is obtained from a WiFi connection server corresponding to the WiFi connection application; subsequently displaying the connectable identities at the available WiFi in the WiFi list, and displaying the local service authentication identities at the WiFi of at least one associated service provider included in the available WiFi; then when one WiFi is selected from the WiFi of at least one associated service provider for connection, local service information of the associated service provider of the WiFi is acquired and displayed; and finally, connecting a WiFi when the local service is completed based on the local service information. The WiFi connection is deeply combined with the local service, the WiFi connection is authorized in a local service pushing mode, and the service provider is effectively stimulated to share the WiFi. Meanwhile, as long as WiFi related to the service provider is searched, the service provider enters a service providing place of the service provider, the local service is pushed at the moment, and the pushing accuracy of the local service can be improved.

With further reference to fig. 3, shown is a flow 300 of yet another embodiment of a WiFi connection method in accordance with the present application. The WiFi connection method is applied to the terminal and comprises the following steps:

step 301, in response to the opening of the WiFi connection application, displaying a WiFi list in the WiFi connection application.

Step 302, access information of available WiFi in the WiFi list is obtained from the WiFi connection server corresponding to the WiFi connection application.

Step 303, displaying connectable identities at WiFi available in the WiFi list and displaying local service authentication identities at WiFi of at least one associated service provider.

And step 304, responding to the connection of one WiFi selected from the WiFi of at least one associated service provider, and acquiring and displaying local service information of the associated service provider of the one WiFi.

Step 305, in response to completing the local service based on the local service information, connecting a WiFi.

In the present embodiment, the specific operations of step 301-.

Step 306, in response to the local service information being turned off or the local service not being completed, displaying push information of a WiFi associated service provider, and connecting a WiFi after the push information is displayed.

In this embodiment, when the user turns off the local service information of the selected WiFi associated service provider or does not complete the local service, the terminal may display the push information of the WiFi associated service provider, and connect the WiFi after the push information is displayed. Subsequently, jumping to the internet content for the user to browse. The push information of the service provider is usually multimedia information, including but not limited to video, animation, pictures, and so on.

Typically, an exit button is provided near the local service information, and when the user clicks the exit button, the local service information may be turned off. And when the user does not click the local service information or click the local service information and does not finish the local service on the local service interface, determining that the local service is not finished. In the above two cases, the terminal may first obtain the push information of the selected WiFi associated service provider for display, and then connect to the WiFi after the push information is displayed. Under the condition that a user does not need local service, the push information of the associated service provider is displayed firstly, and then WiFi is connected, so that the conversion rate of the push information can be improved.

And acquiring the push information from the local service information under the condition that the push information exists in the selected local service information of the WiFi. And acquiring the push information from the local service server under the condition that the push information does not exist in the selected local service information of the WiFi.

It should be noted that the process of displaying the push information does not generally consume the data traffic of the user. Wherein, in the case that the push information is a video or animation, the process of displaying the push information is a process of playing the video or animation. In the case where the push information is a picture, the process of displaying the push information may be a process of displaying the picture for a preset time period (e.g., 5 seconds).

Step 307, after a WiFi connection is successful, displaying a connection success prompt message.

In this embodiment, after the selected WiFi connection is successful, the terminal may display a connection success prompting message. Wherein, the success prompt message can be used to prompt the WiFi connection to be successful, so as to facilitate the user to use the network service.

As can be seen from fig. 3, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, the flow 300 of the WiFi connection method in this embodiment adds a step of displaying push information and a step of prompting connection success. Therefore, according to the scheme described in this embodiment, when the user does not need local service, the push information associated with the service provider is displayed first, and then WiFi is connected, which can help to improve the conversion rate of the push information. Prompting is performed after the selected WiFi connection is successful so that the user can use the network service conveniently.

With further reference to fig. 4, shown is a flow 400 of another embodiment of a WiFi connectivity method in accordance with the present application. The WiFi connection method comprises the following steps:

step 401, receiving the identity and location of WiFi in the WiFi list sent by the terminal.

In this embodiment, under the condition that the user opens the WiFi connection application, the terminal may display the WiFi list, and send the identifier and the location of the WiFi in the WiFi list to the WiFi connection server.

And step 402, searching access information of the available WiFi and local service information of the WiFi of at least one associated service provider included in the available WiFi based on the identification and the position of the WiFi in the WiFi list, and returning to the terminal.

In this embodiment, the WiFi connection server may find access information of the available WiFi and local service information of WiFi of at least one associated service provider included in the available WiFi based on the identifier and the location of the WiFi in the WiFi list, and return to the terminal.

In practical applications, the WiFi connection server may store access information and local service information of a large amount of WiFi. The WiFi connection server may search for corresponding access information based on the identifier and the location of the WiFi in the WiFi list, and if the access information is found, the corresponding WiFi is an available WiFi. In addition, the WiFi connection server stores WiFi access information of the associated service providers and also correspondingly stores local service information of the associated service providers. Therefore, the local service information of the WiFi related service provider is obtained while the WiFi access information of the related service provider is found.

Typically, one WiFi can only be associated with one service provider, and one service provider can be associated with at least one WiFi. In some embodiments, the WiFi of at least one associated service provider may be WiFi provided by the service provider or claimed WiFi. For example, a service provider may deploy WiFi in a location that provides local services and share access information of the WiFi to a WiFi connection server to associate WiFi provided by the service provider with the service provider. For another example, a service provider may claim WiFi deployed near a location that provides local services, access information of the WiFi being shared by the provider of the WiFi to a WiFi connection server to associate the service provider-claimed WiFi with the service provider.

In practical applications, the local service server may store a large amount of local service information, including but not limited to local service information, push information of the service provider, and the like. Typically, the local service information may be stored in correspondence with the identity and location of the service provider. In case the terminal does not store the local service information of the selected WiFi, the terminal may send the identity of the WiFi to the WiFi connection server. The WiFi connection server may look up the identity and location of the associated service provider based on this WiFi identity and send to the local service server.

In some embodiments, the WiFi connection server may determine available WiFi in its vicinity based on the location of the venue providing the local service and select an available WiFi from the available WiFi in the vicinity to assign to the service provider. In the case where the service provider does not specify WiFi initiation of a WiFi claim request, the WiFi connection server may randomly choose an available WiFi from the available WiFi in the vicinity. Where the service provider specifies that WiFi initiates a WiFi claim request, the claim request may include an identification of the service provider specified WiFi. The WiFi connection server may select a service provider specified WiFi from the available WiFi in the vicinity.

Step 503, collect the first resource from the service provider and release the first resource to the provider claiming WiFi.

In this embodiment, the WiFi connection server may collect the first resource from the service provider and release the first resource to the provider claiming WiFi. Where the resource may be a virtual item, such as electronic money, that can be distributed over the internet. The first resource may be a certain amount of resource, the amount of which may be set in advance.

In some embodiments, after claiming WiFi, the service provider may also modify the WiFi name. Specifically, the service provider may send a WiFi name modification request to the WiFi connection server. The WiFi connection server may modify a name of WiFi associated with the service provider based on the WiFi name modification request. At the same time, a second resource is collected from the service provider and issued to the provider claiming WiFi. The second resource may be a certain amount of resource, and the amount may be preset.

Allowing the service provider to modify the name of the claimed WiFi, the service provider will typically modify the name of the claimed WiFi to be more relevant to the service provider, so that users who have a need for local services can identify the corresponding WiFi according to the name of the WiFi for connection.

Furthermore, to avoid adverse effects of malicious modification of WiFi names by service providers, an audit can be performed before modifying the names of the claimed WiFi. Specifically, the WiFi name in the WiFi name modification request is audited, and if the audit is passed, the name of the available WiFi associated with the service provider is modified to the WiFi name in the WiFi name modification request.

In some embodiments, the service provider may also add push information after claiming WiFi. Specifically, the service provider may send a push information addition request to the WiFi connection server. The WiFi connection server may add push information of the service provider in WiFi associated with the service provider based on the push information addition request. Meanwhile, a third resource is collected from the service provider and issued to the provider claiming WiFi. The third resource may be a certain amount of resource, and the amount may be preset.

And the service provider is allowed to add the push information, so that the conversion rate of the push information is improved.

In addition, in order to avoid adverse effects caused by malicious addition of push information by the service provider, auditing can be performed before adding the push information. Specifically, the push information in the push information adding request is audited, and if the audit is passed, the push information in the push information adding request is added to the WiFi associated with the service provider.

The WiFi claiming method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the steps of firstly receiving a WiFi claiming request of a service provider; then, distributing available WiFi for the service provider and associating with the service provider; finally, the first resource is collected from the service provider, and the first resource is issued to the provider claiming WiFi. The service provider can claim WiFi, and the provider who claims WiFi can obtain resources, so that the provider who wants WiFi can be effectively stimulated to share WiFi, and the enthusiasm of the provider who wants WiFi to share WiFi is improved.
