The electrical products described in the present specification generally refer to electrical products for various applications applied in home environments, commercial environments, and other environments, for example, may be cooking appliances having a certain cooking function, such as an electric pressure cooker, an electric frying pan, a coffee machine, and the like. For another example, the electronic product may be an electronic product having a communication transmission function, such as a router, a switch, and the like.

The electrical products described in this specification have conventional structures and functions (such as product housing, power interface, basic home appliance functions, etc.) of electrical products currently on the market, and the specification is not specifically described.

Some electrical products currently on the market can be connected to the network through a built-in Wi-Fi module. In the technical scheme provided by the specification, the electric product is provided with the NFC module and the Wi-Fi module which are connected, and the data area of the NFC module of the electric product comprises distribution network information when the Wi-Fi module is connected to a network.

The distribution network information described in this specification is typically a network information containing authentication information for connecting a device having a Wi-Fi module to a wireless network or a means for acquiring authentication information of a wireless network. The authentication information of the wireless network is typically a wireless network identification (e.g., SSID of a router) and a wireless network password.

As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for accessing a network by a device according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method may be used for a terminal device with NFC functionality, and the terminal device may be a smart terminal used by a user, and may be a mobile device of the user, such as a mobile phone or a tablet, and includes the following steps:

In step 102, the terminal device obtains network configuration information of the Wi-Fi network through NFC.

In step 104, based on the device type of the terminal device, determining a network access mode of the terminal device according to the distribution network information, so that the terminal device accesses the Wi-Fi network according to the network access mode.

The method that the terminal device obtains the network allocation information through the NFC is not limited in this embodiment, for example, the terminal device may establish communication connection with a preset NFC tag through the NFC, and read the network allocation information from a data area of the NFC tag; for another example, the terminal device may establish a communication connection with an electrical product having an NFC module, and read the network allocation information from an NFC data area of the electrical product.

Under the condition that the distribution network information is obtained from the NFC tag, a user can write the distribution network information of the Wi-Fi network into the NFC tag in advance.

Under the condition that distribution network information is obtained from an electric product, terminal equipment is in communication connection with the electric product through NFC, wherein an NFC data area of the electric product comprises the distribution network information of a connected Wi-Fi network; and based on the communication connection, the terminal equipment acquires the distribution network information.

The NFC of the terminal device is usually controlled by an operating system of the terminal device, and a user brings the terminal device to be connected to the network close to an NFC induction area of the electrical product (i.e., the NFC in the electrical product can induce an area), so that the NFC of the terminal device and the NFC of the electrical product can be triggered to establish NFC connection. After the NFC connection is established, the operating system of the terminal equipment can control the NFC module of the user mobile terminal equipment to serve as a card reader, and data reading is carried out on the data area of the NFC module of the electrical product, so that distribution network information in the NFC module of the electrical product is read.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the manner of acquiring the distribution network information by the NFC module of the electrical product is not limited, and the distribution network information may be set on a man-machine interaction interface of the electrical product in advance by a user, or may be transmitted to the electrical product by a user through other user mobile terminal devices, for example, the user may input the distribution network information in advance in an interface of an application corresponding to the electrical product installed on other user mobile terminal devices, and then write the distribution network information into a data area of the NFC module of the electrical product through NFC connection, where a Wi-Fi module of the electrical product accesses a network based on the distribution network information in the data area of the NFC module.

When the terminal equipment establishes NFC connection with the NFC module of the electrical product through the NFC module of the terminal equipment, the Wi-Fi module of the electrical product can be in a networking state, at the moment, the fact that the electrical product is connected to a router in the environment currently means that the terminal equipment can be connected to the router through the distribution network information. The Wi-Fi module of the electrical product may also be in an off-network state, for example, when the electrical product is not connected to a power supply, although the Wi-Fi module is not connected to a network at this time, the data area of the NFC module may still be read by the operating system of the terminal device, and may also be connected to the network.

The network distribution information in the NFC data area of the electrical product contains network distribution information suitable for terminal equipment of different equipment types, and the terminal equipment of different equipment types needs to adopt different network access modes, for example, an iOS operating system type and an android operating system type, so that the terminal equipment can self equipment type, and the network access mode adopted by the terminal equipment according to the network distribution information is determined.

According to the technical scheme, the NFC function of the terminal equipment is utilized to automatically read the network distribution information, so that the terminal equipment can conveniently access the network through the network distribution information, a user does not need to inquire about related information of the wireless network, and the user does not need to manually input passwords, and the user experience is improved.

Because the NFC technology has near-field property (that is, the distance between the terminal device and the electrical product is close enough to establish NFC connection), the terminal device obtains the distribution network information from the electrical product through NFC connection, which means that the electrical product and the terminal device are in the same environment, and the distribution network information used can be ensured to be the information of the wireless network in the environment where the terminal device is located. And the terminal equipment determines a network access mode according to the equipment type of the terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment can be suitable for various different types of equipment, and the different types of equipment can be accessed into a network through the distribution network information.

In addition, it should be noted that the above-mentioned configuration network information is stored in the data area of the NFC module of the electrical product in the form of a standard NFC record, where the data area of the existing NFC module generally includes a plurality of standard NFC records, where the standard NFC record is a data structure agreed by the NFC protocol, and the standard NFC record uses the NFC data exchange format, that is, NDEF. The existing NFC protocol specifies several general NFC data exchange formats (such as URL (Uniform Resource Locator, uniform resource locator) data type, picture data type, application/vnd.wfa.wsc data type), and also allows device manufacturers to define NFC data exchange formats for other data types.

For convenience of the following description, the following table 1 illustrates a structure of a data area of an NFC module of an electrical product:

TABLE 1

The NFC header data area generally stores identification information of the NFC chip. The Record data area is a data area of a data exchange format (NDEF format) agreed by using the NFC protocol, record#1, record#2, record#3 and record#4 are a plurality of written NFC records in the original Record data area, and the reserved portion can write a newly added NFC Record.

In general, the terminal device with NFC function will default to support the NFC protocol, and can identify the standard NFC record with the universal NFC data exchange format in the NFC data area. The data area of the NFC module of the electrical product or the NFC tag is read by the terminal equipment of different operating systems, and the NFC data exchange formats which can be identified and executed are not completely the same.

In one embodiment, the determining, based on the device type of the terminal device itself, a network access manner of the terminal device according to the configuration network information includes:

For the device of the iOS operating system type, the network distribution information is displayed on the preset application program under the condition that the device is pre-installed with the preset application program, so that a user can conveniently and directly acquire the network distribution information.

The preset application program installed on the terminal device may be understood as a preset application program installed in an operating system of the terminal device, where the preset application program is a broad concept, and may refer to an application client (such as APP), a light application (or a fast-acting application), an applet, or the like.

In one embodiment, the preset application includes at least one of: and controlling the APP and the browser of the electrical product. The control APP of the electrical product is matched with the electrical product, the matching means that the control APP of the electrical product is developed by a manufacturer of the electrical product or entrusted to a third party developer, the manufacturer of the electrical product provides the control APP for a user to use, and the user uses the control APP at the user terminal side of the user, so that some functional configuration of the electrical product can be realized. Therefore, the distribution network information can be displayed through the control APP associated with the electrical product, and the distribution network information can be displayed through a browser of the iOS operating system type equipment.

In one embodiment, when the application program is a control APP of the electrical product, determining the network access manner of the terminal device according to the configuration network information includes:

The control APP of the electrical product automatically copies the distribution network information to the clipboard of the terminal equipment, when a user determines to use the distribution network information, a command is triggered on the control APP, and a Wi-Fi connection interface of the terminal equipment is called, so that the user can quickly paste the distribution network information, does not need to inquire related information of a wireless network, does not need to manually input a password, and can access the network through simple paste.

The triggering instruction is not limited in this embodiment, and the triggering instruction may be that the user clicks a screen, or that the user shakes a mobile phone, or that the user sends out specific voice.

For equipment without an iOS operating system for controlling APP, a network access method is also provided, so that the application range of the scheme is wider, the user experience is further improved, and a user can conveniently access a wireless network as long as the user has NFC function no matter using any type of equipment.

In order to enable the device of the iOS operating system type to access a network, a data area of the NFC module of the electrical product includes a first NFC record, the first NFC record has an NFC data exchange format of URL data type, and the first NFC record includes network allocation information and an identifier of a preset application program.

The data area of the NFC module of the electrical product may include a standard NFC record having a URL data exchange format, referred to as a first NFC record. Under the condition that the terminal equipment installs the application program, if the preset application program on the terminal equipment is not started, the user approaches the terminal equipment to the induction area of the NFC module of the electric product, so that NFC connection is established between the NFC module of the terminal equipment and the NFC module of the electric product, and an operating system of the terminal equipment, such as an iOS system, reads a URL containing the identification of the application program from a first NFC record through NFC connection, so that the operating system is triggered to start the preset application program. And if the application program on the terminal equipment is started, triggering the operating system to jump to the application program.

The preset application program of the terminal equipment analyzes the first NFC record to obtain network distribution information, such as a Wi-Fi password, copies the network distribution information to a clipboard of the terminal equipment used by the user, can display the analyzed Wi-Fi information such as Wi-Fi names and the like on a page of the application program, and continuously jumps to a Wi-Fi connection interface of the terminal equipment so as to facilitate the user to find Wi-Fi to be connected, and the terminal equipment accesses the network after the user pastes the Wi-Fi password to the Wi-Fi connection interface.

For example, the identifier of the original record#1 and the identifier of the pwd are newly added in advance in the data area of the NFC module shown in table 1, and the first NFC Record in this example is the newly added record#1, which is as follows

Table 2 exemplarily shows the internal structure of Record # 1.

TABLE 2

In order to ensure data security, a main control module at the side of an electrical product, for example, a micro control unit (Microcontroller Unit, MCU) can read and write an NFC data area, and a terminal device side can read only and can not write.

Wherein, appSchema: a universal link; PID: product ID, assigned by AIOT product center; SN: the anti-goods-cross code or bar code information of the electric appliance product is initialized through electric control; wiFiMac: the MAC address of the Wi-Fi module; the confiConn: whether the Wi-Fi module is connected with an available router currently; count: a cumulative number of NFC (near field communication) touches by the mobile phone; error: alarm information of the host or the module; SSID: the Wi-Fi module is connected with a Wi-Fi name; PWD: the Wi-Fi module is connected with a Wi-Fi password.

The distribution network information comprises: SSID: the Wi-Fi module is connected with a Wi-Fi name; PWD: the Wi-Fi module is connected with a Wi-Fi password.

For example, the URL included in the first NFC record may be: https: i/i. suber.com/nfcx.html=a001 & s=122456745367 & m=245 dfc608652& c=1 & cnt=000a & e=0 & ssid=aiotest & pwd=aiotest

The URL contained in the first NFC record has the following effects: if the control APP of the electrical product is already installed on the terminal equipment, the operating system can directly start the control APP; if the control APP is not installed on the user terminal, opening a download page of the application program in the browser under the condition that the operating system is a non-android system (such as an iOS system), displaying a URL in an address bar of the browser, and directly entering an application market built in the android system under the condition that the operating system is the android system to download and install the application program.

Under the condition that the terminal equipment is not provided with a control APP or a preset application program is a browser, a user approaches the terminal equipment to an induction area of an NFC module of an electric product so that NFC connection is established between NFC of the terminal equipment and NFC of the electric product, an operating system, such as an iOS system, of the terminal equipment reads a URL from a first NFC record through NFC connection, so that the operating system is triggered to start the browser to open the URL, the URL is displayed in an address field of the browser, the user can click the address field of the browser and copy network distribution information in the address field manually, and the terminal equipment is connected to a network by pasting at a corresponding Wi-Fi set position in a Wi-Fi connection interface.

For terminal equipment of a non-iOS system, the present description also provides a more convenient way of accessing to a network.

In one embodiment, the determining, based on the device type of the terminal device itself, the network access manner of the terminal device according to the configuration network information includes:

for a non-iOS operating system type, such as an android operating system, the obtained distribution network information popup window can be displayed on a display interface of the terminal device, and when a trigger instruction of a user is received, for example, the user clicks a confirmation button on the popup window or clicks any place of a screen, the terminal device is controlled to access to a network according to the distribution network information. The triggering instruction is not limited in this embodiment, and the triggering instruction may be that the user clicks a screen, or that the user shakes a mobile phone, or that the user sends out specific voice.

In order to enable the terminal equipment of the non-iOS operating system type to access the network, a second NFC record is included in a data area of an NFC module of the electrical product, the second NFC record is provided with an NFC data exchange format of an android configuration data type, and the NFC data exchange format of the android configuration data type is used for configuring the network by the android system, so that the terminal equipment of the non-iOS operating system type can display configuration network information popup after reading.

Android (Android) configuration data type, i.e., the application/vnd.wfa.wsc standard format agreed by the Wi-Fi alliance, is used by the Android system to configure Wi-Fi networks. Because the distribution network information exists in the second NFC record, the mobile terminal equipment with the Android configuration data type can trigger the Android platform to trigger the system to configure Wi-Fi programs and pop windows for display under the condition that the equipment type of the terminal equipment is the Android operating system type. Or, the android system can identify and execute the distribution network information in the second NFC record in the data area when reading the data area through NFC connection, and access the network according to the distribution network information after the user triggers.

For example, record#5 is newly added in advance in a reserved portion of the data area of the NFC module shown in table 1, and the second NFC Record in this example is the newly added record#5, and table 3 below exemplarily shows an internal structure of record#5.

TABLE 3 Table 3

The distribution network information comprises: SSID: wi-Fi name; ETWORK KEY: wi-Fi password; AUTHENTICATION TYPE: wi-Fi encryption. For example, record #5 records: SSID: aiotest; network key: aiotest; authentication type: WPA/WPA2.

When the equipment type of the terminal equipment used by the user is the android operating system type, the NFC function of the terminal equipment is started and is bumped with the NFC area of the electrical product, the obtained distribution network information popup window can be displayed on the display interface of the terminal equipment, the Wi-Fi network used by the electrical product can be accessed by triggering after the user confirms, more manual networking operations are not needed by the user, and the system is convenient and quick.

It should be noted that, in order to be widely applicable to terminal devices of a plurality of different device types, the NFC data area of the electrical product includes both the first NFC record and the second NFC record. As described below in connection with fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of interactions between a terminal device (handset) to be connected to a network and an electrical product.

Correspondingly, on the side of the electrical product, the MCU can update record#1 in the data area of the NFC module according to the networking condition of the Wi-Fi module, and the record#1 is newly added: ssid= { connected WiFi name }, pwd= { connected WiFi password }, and newly added Record #5, wherein Type:

"application/vnd.wfa.wsc"; data: "SSID: connected Wi-Fi name, network key: connected Wi-Fi password, authentication type: connected Wi-Fi authentication mode ", the c flag bit can also be updated.

Of course, the android phone can also identify the first NFC record, and generally, the android phone responds to the second NFC record preferentially or more quickly, and if an application program in the android phone is installed and in an operating state, the android phone can also respond to the first NFC record.

Case two (installed control APP, apple phone)

In the case where the friend's phone is not an android phone and has a control APP installed, such as an apple phone, the phone can only recognize the first NFC Record, i.e., record #1. The home Wi-Fi is accessed according to the flow shown in fig. 4: the mobile phone touches the NFC induction area of the product, the mobile phone popup prompt is opened in the control APP, and the control APP is opened after clicking; wi-Fi information of the current connection of the electrical product is displayed on a page, and meanwhile, wi-Fi passwords are copied to a clipboard; clicking a Wi-Fi information display area, jumping to a mobile phone Wi-Fi setting page, finding a Wi-Fi name currently connected with the electrical product, and pasting a Wi-Fi password to a password input box; click-to-join, the mobile phone networking is successful.

Case three (control APP not installed, apple phone)

In the case where the friend's phone is not an android phone and the control APP is not installed, such as an apple phone, the phone can only recognize the first NFC Record, i.e., record #1. The home Wi-Fi is accessed according to the flow shown in fig. 4: the mobile phone touches the NFC induction area of the product, a mobile phone popup window prompt is opened in a Safari browser, and after clicking, the mobile phone enters into a control APP downloading page; clicking the browser address bar, checking Wi-Fi information display currently connected with the electrical product, and manually copying Wi-Fi passwords to the clipboard; manually entering a Wi-Fi setting page of the mobile phone, finding a Wi-Fi name currently connected with the electrical product, and pasting a Wi-Fi password to a password input box; click-to-join, the mobile phone networking is successful.

In the application scenario of the scheme, after the network allocation of the electrical product is successfully bound, a user can start the electrical product to bump the Wi-Fi function through the APP, and after the network allocation of the electrical product is successfully started, all mobile phones without the limitation of the equipment type can be connected with the Wi-Fi through the NFC sensing area of the electrical product by bump the NFC.

In addition, in some embodiments, the format of the Record data area in the original NFC module may be reserved, and related Wi-Fi information that the electrical product is connected to may be queried through the cloud server. In this embodiment, the network allocation information in the data area of the NFC module of the electrical product includes the MAC address (Media Access Control Address ) of the Wi-Fi module, where the MAC address is recorded in the data area in a general NFC data exchange format, so that devices of various types of operating systems can be identified. For example, the location recorded by the MAC address may be seen in table 3.

The method further comprises the following steps:

the terminal equipment sends query information containing the MAC address to a cloud server, so that the cloud server feeds back the wireless network information to the terminal equipment under the condition that the wireless network information corresponding to the MAC address is stored, and the wireless network information is information sent to the cloud server after the Wi-Fi module is successfully accessed to a network;

And the terminal equipment receives the wireless network information and accesses a network according to the wireless network information.

In this example, when the Wi-Fi module is successfully networked, the electrical product sends the currently connected wireless network information to the cloud server in a data packet manner, and the cloud server can analyze the MAC address and the wireless network information of the Wi-Fi module from the data packet and store the information. The wireless network information may include a wireless network identification and a wireless network password.

And the user approaches the terminal equipment to be accessed to the network to the NFC area of the electric product, triggers the NFC of the terminal equipment to establish NFC connection with the NFC of the electric product, and reads the distribution network information in the second NFC record in the NFC module of the electric product through the NFC connection by the operating system of the terminal equipment to obtain the MAC address.

In this step, an application program matched with an electrical product in the terminal device may send query information including the MAC address to a cloud server, and if the cloud server stores wireless network information corresponding to the MAC address, the cloud server feeds back the wireless network information to the terminal device, where the terminal device may also automatically access a network according to the wireless network information. The trouble of inquiring the wireless network information and inputting the password by the user is avoided.

In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the wireless network information is available on the basis of the embodiments described above, after verifying that the networking of the electrical product is successful, the relevant Wi-Fi information that the electrical product is connected to may be queried from the cloud server. In this example, the configuration network information further includes connection identification information, where the connection identification information is used to identify whether the Wi-Fi module accesses the network.

and under the condition that the connection identification information indicates that the Wi-Fi module is accessed to a network, the terminal equipment sends query information containing the MAC address to a cloud server.

The connection identifier information may be a c flag bit in Record #1 in table 3, and a winicon: whether the Wi-Fi module is connected with an available router currently or not, and when c is 1, the Wi-Fi module is connected with a network, and the available router is connected; and when c is not 1, the Wi-Fi module is not connected to the network, and the available router is not connected.

See the information interaction diagram between the terminal device and the electric product shown in fig. 5, and the flowchart shown in fig. 6. On the side of an electrical product, the MCU can update a Record #1c zone bit in a data area of the NFC module according to the networking condition of the Wi-Fi module, send Wi-Fi information connected currently to the cloud end, and the cloud end stores relevant Wi-Fi information according to the Mac address. On the side of terminal equipment used by a user, APP matched with an electric product can be pre-installed, the terminal equipment touches an NFC induction area of the electric product, a c flag bit and an MAC address in Record #1 are read through NFC connection, networking conditions of the electric product are checked through the c flag bit, query information containing the MAC address is sent to a cloud server under the condition that c is 1, and no processing is performed under the condition that c is not 1. The cloud terminal returns the stored Wi-Fi information to the terminal equipment according to the Mac address, and the terminal equipment side can carry out manual or automatic networking according to the Wi-Fi information.

The application of the mobile terminal equipment networking scene such as the auxiliary mobile phone of the electrical product is increased, so that the terminal equipment networking WiFi is faster and more convenient; the type of an operating system of the terminal equipment is not limited, and android and apples can be used; the identification and storage characteristics of the NFC module are fully utilized, and Wi-Fi information can be acquired in a local or cloud mode; the electric product and the terminal equipment can have no binding relation, and the terminal equipment can acquire Wi-Fi information by supporting the NFC function, so that network sharing is realized.
