Taking a common router used in a home as an example, as a gateway device for connecting a plurality of networks, it is necessary to perform network configuration on the gateway device through an electronic device before accessing the network.

At present, when network configuration is performed on a router through electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can establish connection with the router without passwords, and then the router is configured. The network configuration mode is easy to be maliciously connected by other people except the user, so that certain potential safety hazards exist in the network configuration process.

In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme is as follows:

in a first aspect, a network configuration system is provided, the system comprising an electronic device and a routing device;

the electronic device is configured to:

after an access point mode is started, broadcasting a protocol message and access point information, wherein the protocol message comprises a preset target identification field and the access point information;

the routing device is configured to:

in a work station mode, after receiving a protocol message, identifying the received protocol message, if the protocol message is identified to contain the target identification field, acquiring access point information, and matching the acquired access point information with the access point information in the protocol message;

if access point information which is matched with the access point information in the protocol message is consistent in the acquired access point information, establishing communication connection with the electronic equipment, and feeding back information of successful communication connection to the electronic equipment;

the electronic device is further configured to:

after receiving the information of successful communication connection fed back by the routing equipment, receiving network configuration information input by a user, and sending the network configuration information to the routing equipment;

the routing device is further configured to:

and carrying out network configuration according to the received network configuration information.

When a plurality of routing devices exist near the user electronic device, the situation that the routing devices are connected by mistake unconsciously may exist because the newly purchased or reset routing devices generally use default names when leaving the factory; or in case of malicious connection by other electronic devices than the user electronic device after the routing device is powered on. Therefore, the present application provides a network configuration system for the above possible situations, which can be applied in the scenario of network configuration of newly purchased or reconfigured routing devices.

It should be noted that, in the above network configuration system, before network configuration, the electronic device is in an access point mode, the routing device is in a workstation mode, and both devices can perform connectionless broadcast communication on a consistent physical channel in a broadcast manner; the electronic device may thus be configured to periodically broadcast the protocol packet and the access point information to the routing device, and the routing device may be configured to receive the protocol packet and the access point information while in a passive reception state.

For example, the target identification field in the protocol message may be a special identification field preset and consistent for the electronic device and the routing device, such as "connection" or "configuration".

For example, the protocol message may further include access point information when the electronic device is in the access point mode, and the access point information may include information such as a hotspot name of a personal hotspot of the electronic device and a rate that the electronic device can support.

The access point information acquired by the routing device is the access point information directly broadcast by the electronic device, and may be the access point information received and stored before the protocol message is identified, or the access point information received after the protocol message is identified.

Because the router is in the work station mode, the electronic equipment broadcasts the access point information and simultaneously broadcasts the protocol message for information matching, other electronic equipment except the user cannot be connected to the routing equipment, the probability that other electronic equipment is possibly maliciously connected and configured is reduced when the routing equipment is subjected to network configuration, and the safety of the network configuration of the routing equipment is improved.

In addition, the protocol message is sent by the electronic device, the routing device identifies the target identification field in the protocol message, and the process of acquiring the hotspot name broadcasted by the electronic device and matching the hotspot name is triggered based on the target identification field, so that the situation that other routing devices are mistakenly connected can be effectively avoided.

Detailed Description

The following exemplarily introduces related contents and scenarios that may be related to the present application, and further, details the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application are described in detail with reference to the scenarios.

In the embodiment of the present application, the routing device may include, but is not limited to, a router, a modem, a wireless access point, and other devices, and the electronic device may include, but is not limited to, a notebook computer, a mobile phone, a tablet, a smart watch, and other devices. In the following description, a router is taken as an example of a routing device, and a mobile phone is taken as an example of an electronic device to describe the embodiments of the present application in detail.

(1) An Access Point (AP) mode refers to a working mode that can provide wireless or wired Access service, allow Access of devices, and provide data Access for devices.

(2) A Station (STA) mode refers to an operation mode in which a device does not accept access of the device but can be connected to the AP mode.

For a newly purchased or reset router, the network needs to be reconfigured to function as a gateway in a wired or wireless network. Generally, after the router is powered on and accesses an external network, the router enters an access point mode and can be used as a network access point of other electronic devices.

After the router enters the access point mode, wireless broadcast can be sent out; after receiving the wireless broadcast, the other electronic devices can establish local area network communication connection with the router without inputting passwords, and then perform network configuration on the router based on the local area network communication connection.

However, the above-mentioned router network configuration method does not require a password, and is easily maliciously connected by other electronic devices other than the user electronic device, and configures the router, so that there is a certain security risk in the network configuration. In addition, since all routers from the same manufacturer use the same Service Set Identifier (SSID), and a newly purchased router generally uses a default name from the factory, or the router returns to the default name after being reset, the consumer electronic device may search for a plurality of nearby routers with the same name, and the user may not determine which router to connect to, and may unintentionally connect to the wrong router.

In view of the foregoing application scenarios and possible situations, embodiments of the present application provide a network configuration method, which can avoid a situation that other electronic devices except the user electronic device perform malicious connection or the user does not determine which router is connected or a router may be connected in error when performing network configuration on a router, and improve security of network configuration and network access.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an example system architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the application can be applied to the system architecture shown in fig. 1. The system architecture may include an electronic device and a routing device. The electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an intelligent watch, a notebook computer, or the like, and the type of the electronic device is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The routing device may be a router, a modem, a wireless access point, and the like, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the routing device.

As shown in fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present application, an electronic device takes a mobile phone 10 as an example, and a routing device takes a router 20 as an example, which is described.

In the embodiment of the present application, the re-positioned or newly purchased router 20 is in the station mode and the handset 10 is in the access point mode before establishing a communication connection with the handset 10. The router 20 establishes a communication connection with the handset 10 based on the mode in which the two are operating.

As shown in fig. 1, the interaction process between the handset 10 and the router 20 may include:

101, the router 20 receives the information broadcast by the handset 10. The broadcasted information may include a protocol message, access point information of the mobile phone 10 (the access point information may include a hotspot name of a personal hotspot of the mobile phone 10).

The router 20 establishes 102 a connection with the handset 10 and the router 20 feeds back messages to the handset 10. The message fed back may include information informing the handset of the successful connection.

Illustratively, when the handset 10 is in the access point mode, the protocol message and the access point information may be periodically broadcast; when the router 20 is in the workstation mode, the protocol packet and the access point information broadcast by the mobile phone 10 may be received, after the protocol packet is identified to include the preset consistent target identification field, the access point information broadcast by the mobile phone 10 may be obtained, and the obtained access point information and the access point information in the protocol packet are matched, if the matching is successful (the two are the same), the router 20 establishes a communication connection with the mobile phone 10.

The access point information broadcasted by the mobile phone 10 and acquired by the router 20 may be access point information received before the protocol packet is identified and stored in the router 20, or access point information received when or after the target identification field is identified.

Illustratively, the communication connection may be a channel determined by the router 20 and the handset 10 for data transmission, for example, a transmission channel based on near field communication, bluetooth communication, wireless lan communication, or low power lan protocol communication, and is not limited in particular.

Since the reset or newly purchased router 20 does not broadcast its own wireless connection information when it is in the workstation mode, other electronic devices other than the ue cannot search for and connect to the router 20, so as to avoid malicious connection when configuring the network of the router 20.

Illustratively, after the handset 10 establishes a communication connection with the router 20, the handset 10 may send network configuration information to the router 20. The router 20 receives the network configuration information and performs network configuration according to the network configuration information; the network configuration information may include a network name, a network password, a wireless name, a wireless password, and the like; and informs the mobile phone 10 of completing the network configuration after the network configuration is completed; the router 20 switches from the station mode to the access point mode; so that the handset 10 can access the network through the router 20.

Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an interaction process between a mobile phone and a router according to an embodiment of the present application. Taking the mobile phone 10 and the router 20 as examples, the network configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described with reference to the drawings.

The mobile phone 10 starts a hotspot in a predetermined manner, enters an Access Point (AP) mode, and periodically broadcasts information such as a protocol message. For example, the predetermined mode may be a mode in which the user clicks the switch control input of the personal hotspot interface of the mobile phone 10. The protocol packet may include a target identification field, which is a special identification field that is consistent with the preset identifier of the router 20, such as a "connection" field. The protocol packet may further include access point information, where the access point information may include a hotspot name of a special format of a personal hotspot of the mobile phone 10; the user can customize and set a special format of the hotspot name, such as 'Xiaoming Mobile phone'; the hotspot name may include letters, symbols, numbers, and the like, and is not limited in this respect. After the mobile phone 10 starts the hotspot, the access point information including the hotspot name in the special format may also be periodically broadcast, where the hotspot name in the special format is a network name of a personal hotspot of the mobile phone 10.

And 203, the router receives the long press instruction and enters a workstation Station mode (in a passive receiving state).

The router parses the received protocol packet to obtain the special identification field (e.g., connection) and the access point information 204.

205, acquiring a hotspot name in a special format in the access point information, and matching the hotspot name with a hotspot name in the access point information in the protocol message; if the matching is constant, the router establishes communication connection with the mobile phone.

And 206, the router sends feedback information of successful connection to the mobile phone.

The router 20 may enter the workstation Station mode in another predetermined manner. Illustratively, the other predetermined manner may be a manner in which the user inputs a long-press instruction by pressing a destination key on the router 20 for 3 seconds, and the router 20 enters the workstation mode in response to the long-press instruction. The router 20 may receive the protocol messages broadcast by the handset 10 in the workstation mode. After receiving the protocol message, the router 20 may parse the protocol message; if the target identification field in the analyzed protocol message is a preset and consistent special identification field (e.g., connection), access point information (including a hot spot name in a special format) broadcasted by the mobile phone 10 is acquired, where the acquired access point information may be received and stored in the router 20 before the protocol message is identified, or may be access point information broadcasted by the mobile phone 10 and received after the target identification field is identified.

It should be noted that, after entering the access point mode, the mobile phone 10 may also periodically broadcast access point information including its own hotspot name, in addition to broadcasting the protocol packet.

Illustratively, the router 20 triggers and acquires access point information of a broadcast of the mobile phone 10, which includes a hotspot name in a special format, based on a target identification field in the protocol packet, and performs an operation of matching the hotspot name in the special format with a hotspot name analyzed from the protocol packet; if the two are matched, the router 20 establishes communication connection with the mobile phone 10, and the router 20 sends feedback information of successful communication connection to the mobile phone 10.

As shown in fig. 6-1 (a), on the main interface 601 of the mobile phone 10, the user clicks the network management APP, and in response to the click operation, the mobile phone 10 enters the network management interface. As shown in (b) of fig. 6-1, the interface 602 may include different functional areas and menus, etc. on the interface 602, for example, the menu area may include the main menu category of the network management application: the user can click the different main menus to display different contents, and can execute different operations or view different contents through each menu option, and the functions of each area are not described again in this embodiment of the application. In addition, the current user can be displayed in a logged-in state or a logged-in state on the network management interface, and the user head portrait, the user name and other contents can be displayed in the user logged-in state.

As an operation shown in (b) of fig. 6-1, the user clicks the "network configuration" menu of the function menu area, and in response to the user's clicking operation, the interface 603 is displayed. On the interface 603, a personal hotspot region 603-1 positioned above the screen and a distribution network guide region 603-2 positioned below the screen are divided by dotted lines in the figure.

Exemplarily, the personal hotspot area 603-1 comprises a hotspot switch, a network name, a password and the like; for example, the network name "AAA" is a hotspot name or device name of the mobile phone 10, and the password is a password of a hotspot network accessing the mobile phone 10; and aiming at the network name and the password, the mobile phone end user can set the network name and the password by himself.

The network name of the personal hotspot is a Service Set Identifier (SSID) unique to the electronic device, and the SSID is used as an Identifier of a wireless local area network of the electronic device, and each device may be different from another device, or may be changed by a user.

For example, the first trigger instruction may be an instruction generated by clicking a switch control on a personal hotspot interface in the mobile phone setting or on a personal hotspot interface corresponding to a network configuration option of the network management APP by a user, or clicking a personal hotspot icon control in a pull-down shortcut menu of the mobile phone. As shown in (c) of fig. 6-1, on a network configuration interface of the network management APP, a user clicks a personal hotspot switch control, and the mobile phone opens a hotspot in response to the click action, and enters an access point mode.

It should be noted that, the mobile phone may respond to a trigger instruction for opening a personal hotspot input by a user at a personal hotspot interface in the setting, may also respond to a trigger instruction for opening a personal hotspot input by a user at a personal hotspot interface in an Application (APP) capable of performing network configuration, and may also respond to a trigger instruction for opening a personal hotspot at a personal hotspot icon in a pull-down shortcut menu of the mobile phone; the mobile phone may also enter the access point mode through other predetermined manners, which are not limited herein.

As shown in operation 1 in fig. 6-1 (c), the user clicks the switch of the personal hotspot (set to an on state), and in response to the user's clicking operation, the hotspot is turned on, and the mobile phone 10 is set to the access point mode.

In addition, a reminder for accessing the mobile phone network can be further included below the network name and the password: "you turn it on in the" personal hotspot "setting or in the" control center "(in the shortcut menu), allowing other users or devices to find your shared network" AAA ". "; that is, in addition to opening the personal hotspot in the network management APP, a personal hotspot interface in the setting of the mobile phone may also receive a trigger instruction for opening the personal hotspot input by the user, or a control center of a shortcut menu may also receive a trigger instruction for opening the personal hotspot input by the user, and after the hotspot is opened, other users or devices are allowed to search for a hotspot name "AAA" of the shared network of the mobile phone.

Step S502, the router enters the workstation mode through a second preset mode.

Wherein the second predetermined manner comprises: and the router receives a mode that a user clicks a target key to input a third trigger instruction and responds to the third trigger instruction. For example, router 20 receives a third trigger command input by the user, and enters the workstation mode in response to the third trigger command.

For example, the third trigger instruction may be an instruction input by the user after the user clicks the target key for a preset time period, for example, the preset time period may be 3 seconds. As shown in (d) of fig. 6-1, the third trigger instruction may be an instruction input by the user by pressing the 3-second target key for a long time.

Illustratively, the third trigger instruction may also include an instruction input by a user through a touch screen, a microphone, or the like. For example, an instruction input by a user double-clicking an operation mode control displayed on the display screen of the router 20, or a voice switching instruction received by a microphone, etc. (e.g., "take a business, switch to a workstation mode or a site mode"); the router 20 switches the operation mode to the station mode in response to the third trigger instruction.

It should be noted that the second predetermined manner for making the router enter the workstation mode is not limited to the above-described manner, and may also include other predetermined manners, such as a remote control manner; and is not particularly limited herein.

It will be appreciated that for newly purchased routers, the workstation mode may be entered directly after power-up and plugging-in of an external wired network connection, with the second predetermined mode being implemented immediately. After the router is powered on and plugged with an external wired network connector, the router can directly enter an access point mode under the condition of no external trigger or presetting, or the router after being reset can also be in the access point mode; in the above access point mode, the router may enter the access point mode by implementing a second predetermined manner (e.g., receiving a third trigger instruction).

In addition, router 20, by implementing a second predetermined mode, may override all previous configuration information and disconnect all connections before entering the workstation mode.

After the router 20 is powered on, the indicator lamp 1 is turned on (the indicator lamp 1 is a power indicator lamp).

According to the embodiment of the application, the router 20 enters the workstation mode, so that the possibility of malicious connection or configuration of other electronic equipment except the user electronic equipment is reduced, and the network configuration and network access security of the router is improved.

Step S503, the mobile phone broadcasts the protocol message and the access point information.

Exemplarily, after the mobile phone starts the access point mode, the mobile phone broadcasts a protocol message and access point information; the protocol message comprises a target identification field and access point information.

For example, the handset 10 may transmit the broadcast frame periodically in the access point mode, for example, once every 100 ms; the broadcast frame may be a protocol packet and/or access point information. The protocol packet may be a data packet based on the bluetooth protocol, which may have a specific data format. The access point information may include the hotspot name of the personal hotspot of the handset 10.

Illustratively, a data packet may include a header portion and a data portion; the header portion may include a type descriptor and a data size descriptor for two portions constituting the data packet; the length of the data portion may be determined by the data size descriptor. The type descriptor and the data size descriptor may occupy a data bit of a preset size, respectively.

For example, a target identification field, such as "connection", may be included in the protocol packet; the destination identification field may be located in the data portion of the data packet. The protocol packet may further include access point information of the mobile phone, for example, a hotspot name of a personal hotspot of the mobile phone, for example, "AAA", and the network name may also be included in the data portion of the data packet.

The target identification field may be a special identification field predetermined by the mobile phone 10 and the router 20, and the special identification field is not limited to the type of characters and may be a field containing characters, letters, numbers, symbols and the like. The access point information may include a network name of a personal hotspot of the mobile phone 10, and may be a field in a special format set by the user, for example, the parsed access point information may include a network name "AAA".

It should be appreciated that when the handset 10 is in the ap mode, the protocol message and the ap information may be periodically broadcast by different threads, respectively. For example, after the mobile phone 10 starts a personal hotspot, a data packet (i.e., a protocol packet) based on the bluetooth protocol is broadcast through a first thread, and access point information is broadcast in the form of a beacon frame (beacon frame) through a second thread. The two threads may be broadcasts sent by the same wireless module, or broadcasts sent by different wireless modules.

Illustratively, the handset 10 may also broadcast different types of data via different frequency physical channels and based on the bluetooth low energy protocol, for example, protocol messages and beacon frames may also be broadcast via different physical channels.

For example, after the processor of the mobile phone 10 detects that the personal hotspot of the mobile phone 10 is opened and is in the access point mode, the processor of the mobile phone 10 may send an instruction to the wireless module (for example, a bluetooth module) to notify the wireless module of sending a protocol message or access point information; the wireless module may send out different broadcasts through different threads, such as sending out protocol messages and access point information.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone may turn on the broadcast protocol message and the access point information after the access point mode is initiated.

On the interface 603 shown in fig. 6-1 (c), the region 603-2 may not be included. As shown in operation 1 in fig. 6-1 (c), the user clicks the switch of the personal hotspot (put in an on state), the mobile phone 10 responds to the user's click operation to open the hotspot, and the mobile phone 10 enters an access point mode to start to periodically broadcast access point information and a protocol message.

In some other embodiments, before broadcasting the protocol packet, the method further includes: and after the access point mode is started, the mobile phone receives a second trigger instruction input by a user, and responds to the second trigger instruction to start a distribution network guide, wherein the distribution network guide is used for indicating the start of broadcasting the protocol message.

Illustratively, the handset 10, as a general state, broadcasts only the access point information and does not start broadcasting the protocol message after the access point mode is activated. And after the mobile phone receives the second trigger instruction, starting to broadcast the protocol message.

The distribution network guide may be a control on the personal hotspot interface of the mobile phone 10; the second trigger instruction can be an instruction input by clicking the control by the user; after detecting the operation of clicking the control by the user, the processor of the mobile phone 10 responds to the click operation, sends an instruction to the wireless module, and the wireless module starts to broadcast the protocol message.

On the interface 603 shown in fig. 6-1 (c), an area 603-2 may be further included, and on the area 603-2, a control or an icon of the distribution network guide may be included. For an application scenario of a wireless network in which the mobile phone 10 only provides a personal hotspot, in order to reduce power consumption or occupancy rate of a processor memory caused by broadcasting a protocol message and access point information at the same time after the mobile phone 10 opens the personal hotspot, after a user executes operation 1 on an interface 603 shown in (c) in fig. 6-1, the user opens the personal hotspot in response to a click operation of the operation 1, and may only periodically broadcast the access point information; then, after the user continues to perform operation 2 in the area 603-2 on the interface 603, the protocol packet is periodically broadcasted again in response to the click operation of operation 2.

It should be noted that the interface 603 shown in fig. 6-1 (c) may be an interface that the mobile phone 10 enters in response to the user clicking a function menu in an application program (for example, the network management APP shown in the interface 601 shown in fig. 6-1 (a)); or may be a control center at a "setup" application (e.g., on interface 601) or notification interface, the handset 10 enters in response to the user clicking on the personal hotspot menu. The logic that the mobile phone 10 may periodically broadcast the protocol packet including the target identification field may be the setting of the application layer of the software architecture of the mobile phone 10, and does not need to change the framework layer. Therefore, the logic of the broadcast protocol message can be implemented by a separate software APP (e.g., a network management APP shown in an interface 601 shown in (a) of fig. 6-1) or in an application of a personal hotspot set by the mobile phone.

Step S504, the router identifies the received protocol message to obtain the target identification field in the protocol message.

Step S505, the router acquires the access point information, and matches the acquired access point information with the access point information in the protocol message.

Step S506, if the matching is consistent, the router establishes communication connection with the mobile phone.

Step S507, the router feeds back the information of successful connection to the mobile phone.

Illustratively, after receiving a protocol message broadcasted by a mobile phone in a workstation mode, a router identifies the received protocol message, and if the protocol message is identified to include a predetermined target identification field, acquires access point information, and matches the acquired access point information with the access point information in the protocol message.

For example, after entering the workstation mode, the router 20 may be in a passive receiving state to receive the protocol packet sent by the handset 10.

It should be noted that the broadcast communication between the handset 10 and the router 20 may be connectionless data communication, the handset 10 broadcasts data on a physical channel of the broadcast communication, and the router 20 may scan and receive data on a corresponding channel according to its own policy. For example, the physical channel for broadcast communication may be a radio frequency channel with a radio frequency center frequency of 2402MHz, 2426MHz, or 2480 MHz.

In addition, the wireless modules of the handset 10 and the router 20 can support broadcast communication and data reception on multiple channels, and for different types of data, broadcast and receive through physical channels of different frequencies. The broadcast communication between the handset 10 and the router 20 may be connectionless data communication based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol.

For example, after receiving the protocol packet through the physical channel, the router 20 analyzes and identifies the protocol packet to obtain the target identification field and the access point information in the protocol packet. The target identification field is a special identification field predetermined by the router 20 and the handset 10, for example, the target identification field may be "connection". After the central processing unit of the router 20 analyzes the target identification field, access point information is obtained; on one hand, the central processing unit sends an instruction to the wireless module to control the wireless module to search and receive the access point information broadcast by the mobile phone 10 through a physical channel; on the other hand, the central processor can also read the access point information which is received before and stored in the memory.

It should be noted that the target identification field in the protocol message is used to trigger the router 20 to acquire the access point information broadcasted by the mobile phone 10, and to perform a process of matching the access point information in the protocol message with the acquired access point information; the obtained access point information may be access point information received before the router 20 recognizes the protocol packet and stored in the router 20, or may be access point information received when or after the router 20 recognizes the target identification field.

As an example, the manner in which the router 20 scans the access point information broadcast by the handset may be an active scanning manner or a passive scanning manner. If the active scanning mode is adopted, the wireless module of the router 20 may send the probe signal (also referred to as a probe request frame) in a broadcast mode. If the passive scanning mode is adopted, the router 20 passively receives the access point information broadcast by the mobile phone 10.

It should be noted that, in the active scanning mode, the router 20 actively detects and searches for the access point information including the hot spot name, and the router 20 sequentially sends detection signals in a broadcast manner on the physical channels supported by the router 20 to detect a wireless network existing around and acquire the access point information including the hot spot name.

The probe signal may further include a specified network name (also may be an SSID), for example, the specified network name may be generated according to a hotspot name in the access point information analyzed from the protocol message; the specified network name may also be excluded from the probe signal.

If the detection signal includes the specified network name, after the mobile phone 10 receives the detection signal, the mobile phone 10 finds that the network name in the detection signal is the same as the network name of the mobile phone 10, and the router may receive a response from the mobile phone 10. If the probe signal does not include the specified network name, the router 20 may receive responses from all surrounding electronic devices that can receive the probe signal and broadcast the access point information of the router 20, so that the router 20 may obtain the access point information of all surrounding electronic devices.

Illustratively, if the access point information obtained by the router has access point information that matches and is consistent with the access point information in the protocol message, the router establishes communication connection with the mobile phone and feeds back information of successful communication connection to the mobile phone.

Illustratively, when the router 20 receives the access point information broadcasted by the handset 10 through passive scanning, or acquires the access point information of a plurality of surrounding electronic devices through active scanning, the router 20 matches the scanned access point information with the access point information in the protocol message. The router 20 judges whether the access point information broadcast by the mobile phone 10 is the same as the access point information in the protocol message, if so, the router 20 establishes communication connection with the mobile phone 10; or determining the access point information which is the same as the access point information in the protocol message from the access point information broadcasted by a plurality of surrounding electronic devices, and establishing communication connection with the electronic device corresponding to the access point information.

For example, after receiving the access point information that is the same as the access point information in the protocol message in an active scanning or passive scanning manner, the router 20 may perform link authentication and association with the electronic device corresponding to the access point information, so as to establish communication connection with the electronic device (mobile phone).

Illustratively, the link authentication process performed by the handset 10 and the router 20 may include open system authentication or shared key authentication. The open system authentication is that the router 20 can send an authentication request to the handset 10, and if the handset 10 allows the router 20 to successfully authenticate, the link authentication is passed. The shared key authentication is that the router 20 and the mobile phone 10 can preset a key, after the router 20 sends an authentication request to the mobile phone 10, the mobile phone 10 verifies the validity of the identity of the router 20 through the preset key, and the link authentication passes after the validity is verified.

Illustratively, the router 20 associates with the handset 10 after the link authentication has passed. The router 20 may send an association request frame to the handset 10; after receiving the association request frame sent by the router 20, the handset 10 feeds back an association response frame to the router 20, thereby completing association. After the association is completed, a wireless link, i.e., a communication connection, for data communication is established between the router 20 and the handset 10.

Illustratively, as shown in (d) of fig. 6-1, after the router 20 establishes a communication connection with the handset 10, the router 20 may also send a notification that the connection is successful. The prompt can be carried out by flashing the indicator light 2 for a preset number of times, the prompt can be carried out by displaying the word of successful connection on the display screen, and the prompt can be carried out by playing the voice of successful connection through the loudspeaker; the specific manner of presentation is not limited herein.

In addition, after establishing the communication connection, the router 20 may also feed back information of successful communication connection to the mobile phone 10 to notify the mobile phone that the operations of the subsequent processes may be performed.

Illustratively, the communication connection is a connection made by any one of bluetooth, short-range wireless communication technology and data network.

According to the embodiment of the application, the mobile phone 10 sends the protocol message to the router 20, the router 20 acquires the access point information broadcasted by the mobile phone 10 after recognizing the target identification field in the protocol message, and after matching the access point information broadcasted by the mobile phone 10 and the access point information in the protocol message to be consistent, the router to which the user electronic equipment (mobile phone) is connected can be determined as the router of the user, so that the situation that the user unconsciously connects other routers in error can be avoided.

Step S508, the mobile phone receives the network configuration information input by the user.

In step S509, the mobile phone sends network configuration information to the router.

Illustratively, after receiving the information of successful communication connection fed back by the router, the mobile phone receives network configuration information input by the user, and sends the network configuration information to the router for network configuration.

The information of successful communication connection is fed back after the router 20 establishes communication connection with the mobile phone 10, and the condition for establishing communication connection between the router 20 and the mobile phone 10 includes: the protocol message received by the router contains a target identification field, and access point information which is matched with the access point information in the protocol message and is consistent with the access point information in the protocol message exists in the access point information acquired by the router.

In some embodiments, after the mobile phone receives the information of successful communication connection fed back by the routing device, the mobile phone displays a window, and the window is used for the user to input the network configuration information.

For example, after the router 20 establishes a communication connection with the handset 10, the router 20 may further feed back information of successful connection and address information of the configured router to the handset 10. After receiving the feedback information, the mobile phone 10 may switch to the next interface, such as the interface 604 shown in (e) of fig. 6-2; or the mobile phone 10 switches to the interface 604 after receiving the operation 2 executed by the user in the area 603-2 and receiving the information of successful connection and the address information of the configured router fed back by the router.

In some embodiments, on interface 603 shown in FIG. 6-1 (c), region 603-2 may not be included. After the user performs operation 1 on the interface 603 shown in fig. 6-1 (c), in response to the click operation of operation 1, the mobile phone 10 opens the personal hotspot, enters the access point mode, and may periodically broadcast access point information and protocol messages. After the handset 10 establishes a communication connection with the router 20, the handset 10 directly jumps from the interface 603 shown in (c) in fig. 6-1 to the interface 604 shown in (e) in fig. 6-2 according to the address information of the configuration router fed back by the router 20.

In other embodiments, a region 603-2 may also be included on the interface 603 shown in FIG. 6-1 (c). As shown in operation 1 in fig. 6-1 (c), when the user clicks the switch of the personal hotspot (set to an on state), the mobile phone 10 responds to the user's click operation, and the mobile phone 10 opens the hotspot, enters an access point mode, and periodically broadcasts access point information and a protocol message. During the process of establishing a communication connection (or after completing the communication connection) between the handset 10 in the access point mode and the router 20 in the workstation mode, as shown in operation 2 in fig. 6-1 (c), the user clicks the "distribution network guidance" control, the handset 10 responds to the user clicking operation, and after receiving the address information of the configuration router fed back by the router 20, the handset 10 loads and displays the interface 604 shown in fig. 6-2 (e).

In some other embodiments, the interface 603 shown in fig. 6-1 (c) may further include a region 603-2. Aiming at an application scenario that the mobile phone 10 provides a wireless network of a personal hotspot only, in order to reduce power consumption or occupancy rate of a processor memory caused by broadcasting a protocol message and a hotspot name at the same time after the mobile phone 10 opens the hotspot, after a user executes operation 1 on an interface 603 shown in (c) in fig. 6-1, in response to a click operation of the operation 1, the mobile phone 10 opens the personal hotspot, enters an access point mode, and can only periodically broadcast access point information; then, after the user continues to perform operation 2 in the area 603-2 on the interface 603, the handset 10 starts to periodically broadcast the protocol message in response to the click operation of operation 2. Then, after the handset 10 establishes a communication connection with the router 20, according to the address information of the configuration router fed back by the router 20, the handset 10 jumps from the interface 603 shown in (c) of fig. 6-1 to the interface 604 shown in (e) of fig. 6-2.

Illustratively, the window displayed by the handset 10 as shown in (e) of fig. 6-2, on the interface 604 in the window, "honor.xxx.cn" is address information for configuring the router, and the device serial code "HONOR-123 _ HiLink" is the default name or the factory name of the router 20. The address information and the device serial code of the configuration router are set by a router developer, and the embodiment of the present application is only exemplary and not limited specifically. The initial display states of the contents respectively corresponding to the network account number and the network password in the internet access setting area can be both null; the mobile phone 10 can receive the network name and the network password set by the user. And the initial display states of the contents respectively corresponding to the wireless name and the wireless password in the routing setting area can be both empty, and the mobile phone 10 can receive the wireless name and the wireless password which are input by the user and set by the user; or the initial state of the content corresponding to the "wireless name" may display the serial number of the routing device (router), and the mobile phone 10 may receive the change operation of the user and receive the customized wireless name input by the user. In addition, a connected prompt message may also be displayed at the interface 604.

Optionally, in the mobile phone interface 604 shown in fig. 6-2 (e), the mobile phone 10 may receive, in the internet access setting area, contents corresponding to the "network account" and the "network password" input by the user, for example, "0755 × 123@163. com" corresponding to the "network account" and "ABCDEF" corresponding to the "network password"; the mobile phone 10 may further receive the content corresponding to the "wireless name" and the "wireless password" respectively input by the user in the routing setting area, for example, the "Xiaoming Home 123" corresponding to the "wireless name" and the "abcdef" corresponding to the "wireless password". The specific content of the above setting is only an exemplary illustration, the field and the display form of the specific setting are not limited, for example, the content corresponding to the "network password" and the "wireless password" may also be displayed in a form that is completely invisible or partially visible. And configuring whether the router starts wireless broadcasting or not, and setting the router to be in a broadcasting state when the router works in the access point mode so that other electronic equipment can search and access the configured router when the router is in the access point mode.

Step S510, the router performs network configuration according to the received network configuration information.

Illustratively, the router receives network configuration information sent by a mobile phone, and performs network configuration according to the network configuration information. The network configuration information is sent by the mobile phone after receiving the information of successful communication connection fed back by the router.

And step S511, the router feeds back the information of configuration completion to the mobile phone.

And step S512, displaying a configuration completion interface by the mobile phone.

In step S513, the router sends a prompt message to complete the network configuration, and switches from the station mode to the access point mode.

For example, the network configuration information may be attribute information of the router 20, and may include internet access information or routing information; the internet access information can comprise a network account and a network password; the routing information may include a wireless name and a wireless password; other attribute information of router 20, such as maximum transmission rate, etc., may also be included, and is not specifically limited herein.

As shown in fig. 6-1 (d), the indicator light 2 of the router 20 flashes for a preset number of times after the mobile phone 10 is successfully connected to the router 20, and during the process of receiving the network configuration information by the mobile phone 10, the indicator light 2 changes from flashing to a long-bright state to indicate that the router is still in the configuration process.

Illustratively, after the mobile phone 10 receives the network configuration information input by the user, as shown in (e) in fig. 6-2, the user clicks the "determine" option, the mobile phone 10 receives the instruction input by the user, and in response to the clicking operation by the user, the mobile phone 10 sends the network configuration information to the router 20. The router 20 receives the network configuration information sent by the handset 10 to perform network configuration. After the configuration of the router 20 is completed, a prompt message for completing the network configuration is sent, and the station mode is switched to the access point mode.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6-2 (f), when the router 20 completes the network configuration, the indicator light 2 is turned from on to off, the indicator light 3 is flashed a preset number of times, and the indicator light 3 is turned on for a long time when the router is switched from the station mode to the access point mode. The prompt information sent by the router 20 to complete the network configuration may be in a form of blinking the indication 3, or may be in a form of displaying the configuration completion through a display screen, or may be in a form of playing a voice "configuration completed" through a speaker, and the user may select any one or more prompting manners, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Illustratively, after the configuration of the router 20 is completed, the set information is fed back to the mobile phone 10, and after the mobile phone 10 receives the feedback information, the configured interface is displayed, such as the interface 605 shown in (g) of fig. 6-2; the interface 605 may display that the router configuration is completed, and may also display the wireless name (Wi-Fi name) and the wireless password of the router 20; wherein, the wireless password can be in a display state of being invisible or partially invisible.

It will be appreciated that the connection to the handset 10 may be automatically disconnected after the router 20 switches to the access point mode; handset 10 may access the wireless network of the configured router 20 in a workstation mode.
