Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
In practical applications, the speed of the mobile electronic device with a wireless communication function when the mobile electronic device is connected to the wireless local area network is slow, for example, the speed of the mobile terminal accessing Wi-Fi is slow, because the time interval for the mobile terminal to perform Wi-Fi channel scanning is long. Such channel scanning methods directly result in too slow an access to the wireless local area network.
Based on the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a channel scanning method and an electronic device. In the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after responding to the first instruction, the scanned first channel set is a partial channel of all channels supported by the wireless communication module of the electronic device, and once the first access point is detected, the scanning of the first channel set is stopped, and a wireless connection is established with the first device through the first access point. By narrowing the channel scanning range, the time length of channel scanning can be shortened, and the channel scanning power consumption of the electronic device can be reduced. By scanning partial channels, less time is consumed and fast scanning is achieved.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a channel scanning method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the process may include steps 101 to 102:
Wherein the first channel set comprises a part of all channels supported by a wireless communication module of the electronic equipment.
In one embodiment, an electronic device may comprise any device capable of wireless communication; for example, the electronic device may include a mobile terminal device, such as a smart phone or a smart wearable device; illustratively, the electronic device may comprise a computer device.
In one embodiment, the wireless communication module may include an embedded module capable of performing channel scanning, channel access, and data Transmission according to a wireless local area network communication standard, and the embedded module may further include a Protocol stack of a wireless network Protocol and a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP); illustratively, the wireless communication module may include a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth (BT) module, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In one embodiment, the number of the wireless communication modules arranged in the electronic device may be multiple, and the communication system of each wireless communication module may be different.
In one embodiment, the first set of channels may include random partial channels of all channels supported by a wireless communication module of the electronic device, such as n channels scanned first by a Wi-Fi module; for example, the signal-to-noise ratio of n channels in the first set of channels may be higher than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold, that is, the signal-to-noise ratio of a channel in the first set of channels may be higher than the signal-to-noise ratio of other channels except for the first set of channels in all channels; for example, the first channel set may include the first n channels arranged by channel names for all channels. Wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than N, and N is the number of channels in all channels.
In one embodiment, the number of channels in the first channel set may be adjusted according to a remaining power state and a power supply state of the electronic device; for example, if the remaining power state indicates that the remaining power of the electronic device is greater than the power threshold, or the power supply state indicates that the electronic device is in the external power supply state and the external power supply is in the stable power supply state, the number of channels in the first channel set may be the first number; for example, if the remaining power state indicates that the remaining power is less than or equal to the power threshold, or the power supply state indicates that the electronic device is in a state where the battery provides power, the number of channels in the first channel set may be the second number; illustratively, the first number may be greater than the second number.
In one embodiment, the first instruction may be self-triggered by the electronic device; for example, the first instruction may be generated after the electronic device detects a partial channel scanning operation input by a user; illustratively, the first instruction may include an opening of a partial channel scan switch.
For example, after responding to the first instruction, each channel in the first channel set may be scanned according to a channel scanning time interval originally existing in the electronic device.
The first access point is used for establishing wireless connection between the wireless communication module and the first equipment; the first device corresponds to the first access point.
Illustratively, if the first access point is not detected, the scanning for the first set of channels may continue.
In one embodiment, the first device may comprise a device capable of providing wireless routing and/or wireless access functionality; illustratively, the first device may comprise a route switching access all-in-one device or a pure access point device, etc.; illustratively, the first device may comprise a Wi-Fi router; for example, the first device may further include a device capable of providing a hot spot sharing function, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, and the like having the hot spot sharing function.
In one embodiment, the first access point may include an access point for the wireless communication module to access a wireless local area network provided by the first device; illustratively, the type of the first access point may be related to the first device; illustratively, the name of the first access point may be set and managed by the first device; illustratively, the first device may provide at least one access point.
As can be seen from the above, in the channel scanning method provided in this embodiment of the application, in response to the first instruction, the first channel set is scanned, and if the first access point is detected, the scanning of the first channel set is stopped, and the first channel set includes a part of channels in all channels supported by the wireless communication module of the electronic device, where the first access point is used for the wireless communication module to establish a wireless connection with the first device, and the first device corresponds to the first access point.
Therefore, the channel scanning method provided by the embodiment of the application can effectively shorten the scanning time of the channel scanning of the wireless communication module and reduce the channel scanning power consumption of the wireless communication module by reducing the channel scanning range of the wireless communication module.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following operations:
in response to a second instruction, a second set of channels is scanned.
Wherein the second set of channels includes all channels.
In one embodiment, the second instructions include instructions to scan all channels detected by the electronic device; illustratively, the second instructions may include instructions detected by the electronic device to cease scanning the first set of channels; for example, the instruction to scan all channels and the instruction to stop scanning the first set of channels may be triggered by a user of the electronic device.
For example, when scanning the second channel set, channels in the second channel set except the first channel set may be preferentially scanned, and then the first channel set may be scanned.
For example, the time interval for scanning the second set of channels may be an interval originally in the electronic device.
As can be seen from the above, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, in response to the second instruction, a second channel set can also be scanned, and the second channel set includes all channels supported by the wireless communication module of the electronic device.
Therefore, in the channel scanning method provided by the embodiment of the application, in response to the first instruction, a first channel set, which is a part of all channels supported by the wireless communication module of the electronic device, can be scanned, and in response to the second instruction, a second channel set, which is a part of all channels supported by the wireless communication module of the electronic device, can be scanned, so that a diversified channel scanning mode is realized, and the channel scanning of the electronic device is more flexible; in addition, the two channel scanning ranges and the two corresponding channel scanning modes are combined together, so that the channel scanning stability and the channel access stability of the electronic equipment can be improved, and the risk that the electronic equipment cannot be accessed to the wireless local area network is reduced.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the execution time for scanning the first channel set is less than the execution time for scanning the second channel set.
For example, the execution time may be related to the number of channels actually scanned; for example, the scanning time of each channel is 200 milliseconds, and if the first channel set includes 5 channels, the execution time for scanning the first channel set may be 1 second; for example, if the first access point is detected by scanning the first 1-2 channels in the first channel set, the speed of accessing the wireless local area network by the electronic device is faster, and for example, with the Wi-Fi protocol, including a frequency band of a fifth Generation Mobile Communication technology (5 g), all channels supported by the Wi-Fi module of the electronic device, that is, the second channel set is about 30, and at this time, the execution time for scanning the second channel set may be about 6 seconds.
In an embodiment, the execution time for scanning the first channel set may include a preset time corresponding to scanning all channels in the first channel set; for example, the execution time for scanning the first channel may include a preconfigured time corresponding to m times of scanning all channels in the first channel set; for example, scanning the first set of channels m times may constitute an overall process of scanning the first set of channels; wherein m may be an integer greater than or equal to 1; illustratively, the value of m may be adjusted according to the state of remaining electric quantity and/or the state of electric energy supply of the electronic device; for example, the value of m may also be determined according to the number of channels in the first channel set, for example, the value of m may be inversely proportional to the number of channels in the first channel set; the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.
In an embodiment, the execution time for scanning the second channel set may include a preset time corresponding to scanning all channels in the second channel set; for example, the execution time for scanning the second channel may include a preconfigured time corresponding to k times of scanning all channels in the second channel set; for example, scanning the second set of channels k times may constitute an overall process of scanning the second set of channels; wherein k is an integer greater than or equal to 1; for example, the value of k may be adjusted according to the remaining power state and/or the power supply state of the electronic device; illustratively, the value of k may also be determined according to the number of channels in the second channel set; illustratively, the value of k may be inversely proportional to the number of channels in the second set of channels; the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.
For example, after the execution time for scanning the first set of channels is over, the electronic device may generate a second instruction and automatically trigger scanning the second set of channels; for example, after the execution time for scanning the first channel set is finished, whether to scan the first channel set again may be determined based on a user selection or a channel scanning policy.
As can be seen from the above, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the execution time for scanning the first channel set is less than the execution time for scanning the second channel set. Therefore, the reference time for controlling the execution time for scanning the first channel is provided, and the reasonable control on the execution time for scanning the first channel can be realized, so that the channel scanning effect of the electronic equipment is guaranteed.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first time interval is smaller than the second time interval; the first time interval comprises the interval time of two adjacent scans of the first channel set; the second time interval includes an interval between two adjacent scans of the second set of channels.
In one embodiment, the first time interval may include a time interval between an h-th complete scan of all channels in the first channel set to an h + 1-th complete scan of all channels in the first channel set; wherein h is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
In one embodiment, the second time interval may include a time interval between the h-th full scan of all channels in the second set of channels to the h + 1-th full scan of all channels in the second set of channels; wherein h is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
In one embodiment, the first time interval and the second time interval may be fixed; for example, the first time interval and the second time interval may be adjusted or changed according to an actual channel scanning condition, for example, when the electronic device detects that the signal-to-noise ratio of the current network environment gradually changes from a first value to a second value, and the first value is higher than the second value, that is, when the signal-to-noise ratio of the current network environment gradually decreases, the first time interval and the second time interval may be shortened according to the decrease of the signal-to-noise ratio, so as to increase a scanning speed of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can quickly access the wireless local area network.
As can be seen from the above, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first time interval is smaller than the second time interval, and the first time interval includes a time interval of scanning the first channel set twice, and the second time interval includes a time interval of scanning the second channel set twice.
Therefore, in the channel scanning method provided by the embodiment of the application, a part of channels in all channels supported by the wireless communication module are scanned at a smaller time interval, so that the scanning time of the electronic device for the part of channels can be shortened, and the process of scanning the first channel set is accelerated; and the second time interval for scanning the second channel set is greater than the first time interval, so that the power consumption of the electronic equipment in the process of scanning the second channel set can be reduced.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, each channel in the first channel set corresponds to the third access point.
Wherein the third access point comprises a history access point of the electronic device; the third access point comprises the first access point.
For example, channels in the second set of channels other than the first set of channels may have no historical access points corresponding thereto.
In one embodiment, the third access point may be pre-stored in an access point list of the electronic device; for example, the access point information in the access point list may be determined based on historical channel scans and historical access information of the electronic device.
For example, the historical access information may be determined by the electronic device based on historical information of successful access to the wireless local area network; for example, the historical access information may be determined based on a filtering or filtering of historical information of successful accesses of the electronic device to the wireless local area network; for example, the filtering or filtering operation may be triggered by a user of the electronic device, or may be executed by the electronic device based on a network security policy, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.
For example, in the case that the wireless communication module is a Wi-Fi, the third Access Point may include a saved Wi-Fi hotspot or a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP), and in general, the AP and the Wi-Fi channel are in a one-to-one correspondence relationship, and the Wi-Fi channel corresponding to the historical AP may be the first channel set.
As can be seen from the above, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, each channel in the first set of channels corresponds to a third access point, and the third access point includes a history access point of the electronic device. Therefore, when the electronic equipment scans any channel in the first channel set, the wireless local area network can be accessed through the third access point, so that the efficiency of accessing the wireless local area network by the electronic equipment is improved, and the time of accessing the wireless local area network by the electronic equipment is shortened.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, in the channel scanning method according to the embodiment of the present application, the first channel set is associated with the identifier in the identifier set.
In one embodiment, the set of identities may include at least one identity; for example, the identifiers in the identifier set may be preset; for example, the identifiers in the identifier set may be adjusted according to information such as usage scenarios, locations, and personal habits of the user of the electronic device.
For example, the identifiers in the identifier set may include scene identifiers, such as an office scene, a home scene, a factory scene, a campus scene, a public transportation scene, and the like; for example, the scene identification may be determined by the electronic device in response to the scene information input by the user, or may be determined by the electronic device analyzing the environmental information of the location where the electronic device is located.
For example, the identifiers in the identifier set may include location identifiers, where the location identifiers may include names or geographic coordinates of locations where the electronic devices are located, where the names of the locations may include home, unit, hospital, school, and the like, and the geographic coordinates may include latitude and longitude, base station identifier, city name, street number, and the like.
For example, the first channel set may include at least one set including at least one channel, for example, the first channel set may include a first set and a second set, where the first set and the second set may each include at least one channel, and each channel may have a corresponding historical access point; for example, the identifiers corresponding to different sets in the first channel set may be different, for example, the first set may correspond to a scene identifier, the second set may correspond to a location identifier, and for example, the first set may correspond to a home in the location identifier, and the second set may correspond to a school in the location identifier.
In one embodiment, the correspondence between the sets in the first set of channels and the identifiers may be set by a user or an electronic device; for example, the electronic device may match the position of the access point corresponding to the channel in the first channel set with the position corresponding to the base station identifier of the access station accessed by the electronic device, so as to establish a corresponding relationship between the base station identifier and the access point, and then, in combination with the corresponding relationship between the access point and the channel, establish a corresponding relationship between the base station identifier and the access point, and the channel.
For example, the correspondence between the base station identifier and the access point may be stored in a table of a database; for example, the database may be stored in a memory space of the electronic device; for example, the correspondence between the base station identities and the access points in the table can be as follows: < CID1, (AP 11, AP12, AP13 \8230;) and < CID2, (AP 21, AP22, AP23 \8230;), etc. Wherein CID1 and CID2 may be identifiers of the first base station and the second base station, respectively; the AP11, the AP12 and the AP13 \8230maycomprise the names of historical access points of the electronic equipment in the signal coverage range of the first base station; AP21, AP22 and AP23 \8230mayinclude the names of historical access points of the electronic device within the signal coverage of the second base station.
For example, in the process of scanning the first channel set by the electronic device, the base station identifier of the current access base station of the electronic device may be first obtained, then based on the matching relationship between the base station identifier of the current access base station and the base station identifier in the correspondence relationship between the base station identifier stored in the electronic device and the access point, the historical access point corresponding to the current access base station is determined, and the channel associated with the historical access point corresponding to the current access base station is preferentially scanned, so as to accelerate the channel scanning and access speed of the electronic device.
As can be seen from the above, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first channel set is associated with at least an identifier in the identifier set. Therefore, the classification and summarization of each channel in the first channel set based on the identification are realized, so that the channel classification in the first channel set is more clear; moreover, in the process of scanning the first channel set by the electronic device, the channels can be scanned in a targeted manner based on the identifiers in the identifier set, so that the channel scanning speed is increased, and the channel scanning time is shortened.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following operations:
and acquiring first information, and generating a first instruction if the first information meets a first condition.
The first information comprises screen brightness information of the electronic equipment and/or position information of the electronic equipment; the first condition includes a change in the first information.
For example, if the first information does not satisfy the first condition, the first instruction may not be generated.
In one embodiment, the screen brightness information of the electronic device may include a current brightness of a display screen of the electronic device; for example, the location information of the electronic device may include a base station identifier of an access base station of the electronic device or a real-time location obtained through a Global Positioning System (GPS).
For example, the first information satisfies the first condition, which may include that a display screen of the electronic device is switched from an unlit state to a lit state, for example, the electronic device is switched from a power-off state to a power-on state, or is switched from a sleep state to an operating state, and the electronic device may start an access procedure of the wireless local area network, so as to generate the first instruction.
For example, the first information satisfies a first condition, which may include that the electronic device has changed location information, such as the electronic device has moved from the signal coverage of the first base station to the signal coverage of the second base station, and the electronic device may generate a first instruction to initiate a channel scanning operation in the signal coverage of the second base station. For example, the procedure for scanning the first channel set based on the base station identifier may be as described in the foregoing embodiments, and is not described herein again.
For example, the first condition may further include that the wireless connection mode of the electronic device is changed, such as the electronic device starts a wireless local area network access mode, such as the signal strength of a wireless local area network to which the electronic device is currently connected is lower than a strength threshold, or the electronic device disconnects the wireless connection with the current wireless local area network, and so on.
As can be seen from the above, in the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the screen brightness information of the electronic device and/or the location information of the electronic device changes, the first instruction can be automatically generated, so that the first instruction can be automatically and intelligently generated, and the automation and the intelligent degree of scanning the first channel set are further improved.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, the channel scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:
obtaining second information; and if the second information meets a second condition, generating a second instruction.
The second information at least comprises the number of channels in the first channel set and/or detection result information of the first access point; the second condition includes that the number of channels in the first set of channels is 0 and/or the detection result information indicates that the first access point is not detected.
For example, if the second information does not satisfy the second condition, the second instruction may not be generated.
In an embodiment, the number of channels in the first channel set is 0, which may include that the first channel set exists but the first channel set does not include a historical access channel, and may also include that the first channel set is empty.
In an embodiment, the detecting that the first access point is not detected may include scanning an end of the first channel set, and the electronic device cannot access an access point corresponding to a channel in the first channel set, for example, the electronic device cannot obtain a wireless channel resource in the first channel set, and thus cannot detect and access the first access point, or the electronic device can obtain a wireless channel resource in the first channel set, but cannot detect and access the first access point, for example, a name and/or a password of the first access point is changed, so that the electronic device cannot access, and further, for example, an access policy of the first device corresponding to the first access point is changed.

Fig. 2 is another schematic flow chart of a channel scanning method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2, the channel scanning method may include a first scanning procedure 201, and a second scanning procedure 202; wherein the first scanning procedure 201 may include scanning a first set of channels; the second scanning procedure 202 may include scanning a second set of channels.
For example, the first channel set may include a channel set determined by the electronic device based on a base station identity of a currently accessed base station; exemplarily, the electronic device may scan the first set of channels at a scan cycle of 1s and at an execution time of 9 s; if the number of channels in the first channel set is 0 or the first access point is not detected, a second instruction may be generated and the process is switched to the second scanning process 202; illustratively, during execution of the second scanning procedure 202, the electronic device may scan the second set of channels with a scanning period of 5s, with an execution time of more than 9s, such as 100s.
Illustratively, if the first access point or the second access point is detected in the first scanning process 201 or the second scanning process 202, the channel scanning operation is stopped.

For example, the electronic device may flexibly switch between the first scanning process 201 and the second scanning process 202 based on a change state of the base station identifier of the currently accessed base station and whether a channel and/or an access point corresponding to the base station identifier of the currently accessed base station exists in a storage space of the electronic device, so as to improve the wlan access performance of the electronic device.
Fig. 3 is a schematic view of another flow of a channel scanning method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the flow may include:
For example, a processor or a wireless communication module of the electronic device may start a first timer and set N =0; for example, the duration of the first timer may be the execution time for scanning the first channel set, such as 10s; for example, the value range of N may be determined according to the scanning interval in combination with the execution time for scanning the first channel set, for example, in the case that the scanning interval is 1s, the value range of N may be 0 to 9.
For example, the processor or the wireless communication module of the electronic device may determine whether the first timer has expired; if the first timer is overtime, go to step 303; if the first timer has not timed out, go to step 304.
And step 303, setting N =0.
For example, the processor or the wireless communication module of the electronic device may set N =0, and may also kill the first timer; illustratively, after step 303 ends, steps 305 through 307 may be performed.
And step 304, judging whether the current base station identification is stored.
For example, the processor or the wireless communication module of the electronic device may determine whether the memory space of the electronic device stores the current base station identifier; for example, it may be determined whether a current base station identifier is included in a table of correspondence between a base station identifier stored in the electronic device and a channel or an access point; for example, the current base station identification may include an identification of a base station currently accessed by the electronic device.
If the current base station identifier is stored, step 308 may be executed, and if the base station identifier is not stored, step 303 may be executed.
For example, the processor or wireless communication module of the electronic device may start the second timer; illustratively, the timeout time of the second timer may be 100s.
For example, the processor or wireless communication module of the electronic device may scan the second set of channels, such as scanning each channel of the second set of channels with a scan period of 5 s.
For example, the processor or the wireless communication module of the electronic device may determine whether a second access point is detected, and if the second access point is not detected, execute step 301 to switch to a scanning state for scanning the first channel set; if a second access point is detected, step 311 is executed.
And step 308, judging whether N is less than or equal to 9.
For example, the processor or the wireless communication module of the electronic device may determine whether N is less than or equal to 9; if N is less than or equal to 9, step 309 may be performed, and if N is greater than 9, step 303 may be performed.
Step 309, scanning the first channel set, and setting N auto-increment.
For example, a processor or wireless communication module of the electronic device may scan a first set of channels and set N increments; illustratively, scanning the first set of channels includes scanning channels corresponding to the current base station identification, i.e., scanning partial channels of all channels supported by the wireless communication module of the electronic device.
For example, the processor or the wireless communication module of the electronic device may determine whether the first access point is detected, if the first access point is detected, step 311 is executed, and if the first access point is not detected, step 302 is executed to continue to perform the partial channel scanning operation.
Step 311, the connection status is set to the connected status.
For example, the processor or the wireless communication module of the electronic device may set the connection state to the connected state. After step 311 is completed, step 312 may be performed.
And step 312, ending.
