Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

  In embodiments of the present invention, user equipment (User Equipment, UE), also referred to as mobile terminal (Mobile Terminal, MT), mobile user equipment, etc., is a radio access network (eg, Radio Access Network, RAN). Can be used to communicate with one or more core networks. The user equipment may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone (also referred to as a “cellular” phone) or a computer with a mobile terminal. For example, the user equipment may be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, built-in computer, or in-vehicle mobile device. For example, the product form of the UE may include a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like. Alternatively, it may be a smart wearable device such as a smart watch or a smart glass.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of FIG. 1 is performed by a Wi-Fi hot spot device. Wi-Fi hotspot devices may include devices that can be used as Wi-Fi hotspots in a wireless router, mobile WiFi, or another product form.

  110. The Wi-Fi hot spot device generates a two-dimensional barcode according to the Wi-Fi authentication information. The two-dimensional barcode includes Wi-Fi authentication information, and the Wi-Fi authentication information is used for authentication before connecting to the Wi-Fi hot spot device.

  120. The Wi-Fi hot spot device presents a two-dimensional barcode to the UE by using the display screen of the Wi-Fi hot spot device.

  The Wi-Fi hotspot device can present a two-dimensional barcode on the display screen of the Wi-Fi hotspot device, so that the UE can read the presented two-dimensional barcode. For example, the UE may scan the two-dimensional barcode by using a third party application that scans the two-dimensional barcode, for example, by using the existing software “Barcode Scanner”.

  In the existing process of connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device, the user must store or record Wi-Fi authentication information and manually enter such information into the UE, which is the cause of an unsatisfactory user experience It becomes. However, in this embodiment of the present invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may generate a two-dimensional barcode including Wi-Fi authentication information and present the two-dimensional barcode to the UE. Therefore, since the UE can extract Wi-Fi authentication information from the two-dimensional barcode and connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device according to the Wi-Fi authentication information, the user needs to input the authentication information manually. Absent. Thereby, a user's operation is reduced and a user experience is improved.

  Furthermore, since the authentication mode of some Wi-Fi hotspot devices is currently set to “Open”, ie, the user does not need to enter a password into the UE, the UE After finding the spot device, it can connect directly to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. In such a way, the user does not need to enter the corresponding authentication information into the UE, which is extremely dangerous because there is no password protection. However, in this embodiment of the present invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device generates a two-dimensional barcode that includes Wi-Fi authentication information, whereby the UE is in accordance with the two-dimensional barcode the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Connect to. This can further ensure the security of the Wi-Fi network when compared to the passwordless mode.

  Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the Wi-Fi hot spot device generates a two-dimensional barcode including Wi-Fi authentication information and uses the display screen of the Wi-Fi hot spot device to the UE. Present a two-dimensional barcode. This allows the UE to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device according to the two-dimensional barcode, so that the user does not need to store or record Wi-Fi authentication information, thereby improving the user experience.

  Optionally, in one embodiment, the Wi-Fi authentication information may include at least one of the following items: a service set identifier (SSID), an authentication mode, and an authentication password. .

  A two-dimensional barcode can be considered a two-dimensional extension of a conventional one-dimensional “barcode”. A two-dimensional barcode can be interpreted as an image in which one piece of text information is incorporated. The specific content of the text information is not limited, but may be, for example, a uniform resource locator (URL), an e-mail address, personal contact information, or the like. In this embodiment of the invention, the two-dimensional barcode generated by the Wi-Fi hotspot device can be used to incorporate Wi-Fi authentication information. Furthermore, the two-dimensional barcode in this embodiment of the present invention may be further replaced by a barcode, a three-dimensional barcode, or other predetermined images, all of which are Wi-Fi authentication information. Can be used to incorporate.

  The authentication information included in the two-dimensional barcode may preferably include an SSID, an authentication mode, and an authentication password, in which case the user does not need to perform any additional operations, thereby improving the user experience. Is improved. In another case, the authentication information included in the two-dimensional barcode may include only the authentication mode and the authentication password, in which case the user may manually select the SSID. Similarly, since the authentication information may include only the authentication password, the user can manually select the SSID and authentication mode.

  There are a plurality of types of two-dimensional barcodes, such as a two-dimensional barcode having a plurality of different structures, and a plurality of editing and reading methods. Common types of two-dimensional barcodes include a PDF417 code, a quick response code (Quick Response Code, QR code), a Chinese-sensitive code, a color barcode, and the like. At present, the most commonly used two-dimensional barcode is a QR code (registered trademark). FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a two-dimensional barcode according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the text information included in the two-dimensional barcode may be “WIFI: S: test1; T: WPA; P: 1234;”, the SSID is test1, and the authentication mode is Wi. -Text information may indicate that it is Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) / WPA2 and the authentication password is 1234.

For example, Table 1 shows a definition description of text information in an exemplary two-dimensional barcode. In Table 1, it is assumed that the text information is “WIFI: T: WPA; S: mynetwork; P: mypass”.

  Optionally, as another embodiment, at step 110, the Wi-Fi authentication information may be stored within the Wi-Fi hotspot device, eg, in memory. Thus, the Wi-Fi hotspot device can read Wi-Fi information from the memory.

  Optionally, as another embodiment, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may dynamically update the Wi-Fi authentication information. In this case, in step 110, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may dynamically generate a two-dimensional barcode according to the dynamically updated Wi-Fi authentication information.

  Specifically, the Wi-Fi authentication information can change dynamically, and the Wi-Fi hot spot device can dynamically generate a two-dimensional barcode according to the changed Wi-Fi authentication information. For example, the authentication password in the Wi-Fi authentication information can be randomly generated or can be changed according to a preset rule. In this case, the Wi-Fi hot spot device dynamically updates the Wi-Fi authentication information, dynamically generates a two-dimensional barcode based on the dynamically updated Wi-Fi authentication information, In addition, by using the display screen of the Wi-Fi hotspot device, a dynamically generated two-dimensional barcode can be presented to the UE. This can further improve the security of the Wi-Fi network.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method of FIG. 3 is performed by a Wi-Fi hot spot device.

  310. The Wi-Fi hot spot device generates a two-dimensional barcode according to the Wi-Fi authentication information. The two-dimensional barcode includes Wi-Fi authentication information, and the Wi-Fi authentication information is used for authentication before connecting to the Wi-Fi hot spot device.

The management application program is used to provide a two-dimensional barcode to another UE, which UE needs to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device by using the display screen of another UE. Used to present a two-dimensional barcode.

  For a specific description of the two-dimensional barcode, reference may be made to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, which are not described again.

  In the existing process of connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device, the user needs to store or record Wi-Fi authentication information and manually enter such information into the UE. This causes an unsatisfactory user experience. However, in this embodiment of the present invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device generates a two-dimensional barcode that includes Wi-Fi authentication information and the management application program corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device has a two-dimensional bar code. A code may be set, whereby another UE may obtain a two-dimensional barcode and present the two-dimensional barcode to the UE that needs to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Thus, a UE that needs to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot device can extract Wi-Fi authentication information from the two-dimensional barcode. The user does not need to manually enter authentication information and the UE connects to the Wi-Fi hotspot device according to the Wi-Fi authentication information, thereby improving the user experience.

  Furthermore, since the authentication mode of some Wi-Fi hotspot devices is currently set to “Open”, ie, the user does not need to enter a password into the UE, the UE After finding the spot device, it can connect directly to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. In such a way, the user does not need to enter the corresponding authentication information into the UE, which is extremely dangerous because there is no password protection. However, in this embodiment of the present invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device generates a two-dimensional barcode that includes Wi-Fi authentication information, whereby the UE is in accordance with the two-dimensional barcode the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Connect to. This can further ensure the security of the Wi-Fi network when compared to the passwordless mode.

  Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device generates a two-dimensional barcode including Wi-Fi authentication information, and displays the two-dimensional bar code in the management application program corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Set the code. This allows another UE to obtain the two-dimensional barcode from the management application program and present the two-dimensional barcode to the UE that needs to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Thereby, UE which needs to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot device can connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot device according to a two-dimensional barcode. The user does not need to store or record Wi-Fi authentication information, which improves the user experience.

  Specifically, in step 320, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may present a two-dimensional barcode by using another display interface. For example, the Wi-Fi hot spot device may set the generated two-dimensional barcode in the management application program corresponding to the Wi-Fi hot spot device. For example, the management application program may be a web management page corresponding to a Wi-Fi hot spot device, and the web management page corresponding to the Wi-Fi hot spot device may include a plurality of network parameters, a plurality of Wi-Fi hot spot devices. Can be used to modify settings or the like. The management application program may be a third-party application (Application, App) such as a mobile phone application corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device.

  Specifically, another UE may manage a Wi-Fi hotspot device. Another UE may obtain a two-dimensional barcode from the web management page of the Wi-Fi hotspot device and present the two-dimensional barcode on the display screen of another UE. Alternatively, another UE may obtain a two-dimensional barcode by using an application and present the two-dimensional barcode on a display screen of another UE. For example, another UE may be a computer, and the computer may present a two-dimensional barcode on the computer display screen. In this case, the above-mentioned UE that needs to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device scans the two-dimensional barcode presented on the display screen of another UE and extracts the corresponding Wi-Fi authentication information. obtain.

  The above-described method is more applicable to a Wi-Fi hot spot device that does not have a display screen.

  When the Wi-Fi hotspot device provides a two-dimensional barcode by using a management application program, the user can further share the two-dimensional barcode with a user of another UE by using the UE. . This allows another UE to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device, which improves the user experience.

  Optionally, as one embodiment, the management application program may run on another UE. In this case, another UE obtains a two-dimensional barcode from the management application program and uses the display screen of the other UE to provide a two-dimensional barcode to the UE that needs to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. A code can be presented.

  Furthermore, the management application program may also operate on a device other than another UE, such as a server. In this case, the device may obtain a two-dimensional barcode from the management application program and send the two-dimensional barcode to another UE.

  Optionally, as another embodiment, the Wi-Fi authentication information may include at least one of the following items: SSID, authentication mode, and authentication password.

  Furthermore, the two-dimensional barcode in this embodiment of the present invention may be further replaced by a barcode, a three-dimensional barcode, or other predetermined images, all of which are Wi-Fi authentication information. Can be used to incorporate.

  Optionally, as another embodiment, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may dynamically update the Wi-Fi authentication information. In this case, in step 310, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may dynamically generate a two-dimensional barcode according to the dynamically updated Wi-Fi authentication information.

  Specifically, the Wi-Fi authentication information can change dynamically, and the Wi-Fi hot spot device can dynamically generate a two-dimensional barcode according to the changed Wi-Fi authentication information. For example, the authentication password in the Wi-Fi authentication information can be randomly generated or can be changed according to a preset rule. In this case, the Wi-Fi hotspot device can update the Wi-Fi authentication information, generate an updated two-dimensional barcode based on the updated authentication information, and update the two-dimensional barcode. Code may be set in the management application program.
