Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts are intended to be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

  The technical solution of the present invention includes the Global System for Mobile Communications (abbreviated as GSM (registered trademark)), the General Packet Radio Service (abbreviated as GPRS) system, code division multiple access ( Code Division Multiple Access (abbreviated as CDMA) system, CDMA2000 system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (abbreviated as WCDMA (registered trademark) system), Long Term Evolution (abbreviated as LTE) system, or worldwide The present invention can be applied to various wireless communication systems such as the World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) system.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless network access control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless network access control method in the present embodiment may include the following steps.

  101. The controller receives the wireless network access request message sent by the user device, the wireless network access request message including at least one wireless network identifier.

  If the user device needs access to a wireless network, the user device can search for a nearby wireless network and send the found wireless network identifier to the control device. The identifier of the wireless network may be carried in a wireless network access request message and sent to the controller. Specifically, the control device may receive the wireless network access request message sent by the user device, for example using a mobile network or an SMS message channel. The identifier of the wireless network is, for example, a service set identifier (abbreviated as SSID) of the wireless network.

  102. The controller obtains predetermined access condition parameters corresponding to the identifier of the wireless network.

In another implementation of the invention, prior to step 102, the method
Receiving, by the control device, predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network transmitted by the setting device;
Storing, by the controller, predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network in a control policy parameter list corresponding to the identifier of the wireless network;
May be included.

  Specifically, the owner of the wireless network may use the configuration device to set the predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network.

  The user device needs to access the wireless network to perform network application services using the wireless network, and needs to access the wireless network using the access device of the wireless network, and the access device Note, for example, devices such as gateway devices or routers. Thus, the owner of the wireless network is representative and represents the owner of the access device of the wireless network, eg the owner of the gateway device or the owner of the router.

  In the present embodiment, the owner of the wireless network uses the setting device to set predetermined access condition parameters required to access the wireless network on the access device corresponding to the wireless network. The predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network are set for the access device corresponding to the wireless network, so that the predetermined access condition parameters become effective on the access device and the user device becomes the wireless network corresponding to the access device. If it continues to be necessary to access, access control processing is performed as to whether the user equipment can access the wireless network using the predefined access condition parameters.

  In the present embodiment of the invention, the configuration device and the access device may be arranged separately or may be integrated, the configuration device implementing the configuration of control policy parameters for the corresponding access device Mainly composed of

  In the present embodiment of the invention, the predefined access condition parameters are the following parameters: an identifier of a user equipment authorized to access the wireless network, a maximum number of user equipment authorized to access the wireless network, It may include at least one or any combination of the longest duration permitted to access the wireless network, or traffic or bandwidth permitted to access the wireless network. Default access condition parameters include, but are not limited to, the parameters listed above.

  It is the following scheme that the owner of the wireless network uses the setting device to set the predetermined access condition parameters required to access the wireless network on the access device corresponding to the wireless network: Implemented by the device sending the predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network to the access device of the wireless network, so that the access device saves the predetermined access condition parameters and enables the predetermined access condition parameters You may

  In addition, the setting device not only transmits the above-mentioned predetermined access condition parameters to the access device, but also transmits the predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network to the control device, so that the control device determines the default of the wireless network. The access condition parameters are stored in a control policy parameter list corresponding to the identifier of the wireless network.

  When modifying the predefined access condition parameters of the wireless network again, the configuration device needs to transmit the modified predefined access condition parameters of the wireless network to the access device and the control device, so that the access device and the control device Note that updating the default access condition parameters of the wireless network.

In another embodiment of the present invention, step 102 includes
Obtaining a predetermined access condition parameter corresponding to the wireless network identifier by querying the control policy parameter list corresponding to the wireless network identifier according to the wireless network identifier included in the wireless network access request message by the control device; In particular.

  In order to store predetermined access condition parameters of different wireless networks, the control device establishes corresponding lists according to the different wireless network identifiers, and lists corresponding predetermined access condition parameters corresponding to different wireless network identifiers. Save to Thus, after the step of receiving the wireless network access request message sent by the user device, the control device queries the list corresponding to the wireless network identifier according to the wireless network identifier in the request message to determine the wireless network identifier. Get the corresponding default access condition parameters.

  103. When the control device determines that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter according to the predetermined access condition parameter, the control device transmits the identifier of the wireless network and the access password to the user device As a result, the user device accesses the wireless network according to the identifier of the wireless network and the access password, and the current access condition parameter is the current access condition parameter of the wireless network acquired by the control device.

  Specifically, at the same time as storing the predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network in the control policy parameter list corresponding to the identifier of the wireless network, the control device also accesses the identifier of the wireless network and the wireless network. Storing the correspondence between the required access password and the default access condition parameters of the wireless network. Therefore, when it is determined that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network, the control device acquires the access password and the identifier of the wireless network according to the correspondence relationship. The identifier and the access password are sent to the user equipment sending the access request message. In this way, the user apparatus can determine the wireless network to access according to the received identifier of the wireless network, and can access the wireless network using the wireless network received access password.

  In step 103, the controller determines whether the current access condition parameter of the wireless network satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter. For example, the default access condition parameter of the wireless network N is an identifier of a user device authorized to access the wireless network N. According to the identifier of the wireless network N carried in the access request message transmitted by the user device, the control device acquires a predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network N, and the predetermined access condition parameter is permitted to access the wireless network N. If the user equipments of the user equipment whose identifications are A, B and C, for example, are authorized to access the wireless network N, then in this case the control equipment is First, get access condition parameters. In this example, the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N is, for example, an identifier of the user equipment currently connected to the wireless network N. For example, the user devices currently connected to the wireless network N are the user device B and the user device C. As a result, the control device is not included in the user device currently transmitting the request to the user device A currently connected to the wireless network N, and the user device A is permitted to access the wireless network N It is determined that it is included in the identifier of the user equipment, and as a result, the control device determines that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network N. On the contrary, when the user apparatus A is included in the user apparatus currently connected to the wireless network N, or the user apparatus A is not included in the identifier of the user apparatus authorized to access the wireless network N, the control apparatus Determines that the current access condition parameter of wireless network N does not satisfy the predetermined access condition parameter of wireless network N.

  In another example, the default access condition parameter of the wireless network N is the maximum number of user devices authorized to access the wireless network N, eg, the upper limit of the number of user devices authorized to access is 5 It is. In this case, the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N is the number of user devices accessing the wireless network N, for example, three user devices are accessing the wireless network N. Therefore, the number of user devices currently connected to wireless network N (ie, current access condition parameters) is less than the maximum number of user devices allowed to access wireless network N (ie, predetermined access condition parameters). If yes, the controller determines that the current access condition parameters of the wireless network N satisfy the predefined access condition parameters of the wireless network N. Conversely, if the number of user devices currently connected to the wireless network N is greater than or equal to the maximum number of user devices authorized to access the wireless network N, then the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N is the wireless network N. It is determined that the default access condition parameters of are not satisfied.

  In yet another example, the predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network N include traffic or bandwidth authorized to access the wireless network N. Traffic is used as an example, for example, 100 MB of traffic is allocated to each user equipment. In this case, the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N indicates the amount of traffic already used by each user equipment. Note that if the user equipment has never accessed the wireless network N, then in the current access condition parameters of the wireless network N, the amount of traffic that the user equipment has already used is zero for the user equipment. Therefore, the amount of traffic that the user equipment A currently transmitting the access request message has already used (ie, the current access condition parameter) is the maximum amount of traffic for which the wireless network N is permitted or assigned to use the user equipment A. If (less than the predetermined access condition parameter), the control device determines that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network N. Conversely, if the amount of traffic already used by the user device A is equal to or greater than the maximum amount of traffic for which the wireless network N is permitted to use the user device A, the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N is the wireless network It is determined that N predetermined access condition parameters are not satisfied.

  In yet another example, the predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network N include the longest duration allowed to access the wireless network N. For example, a maximum use duration of 10 hours is assigned to each user device. In this case, the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N indicates the duration that each user equipment has already used. If the user equipment has never accessed the wireless network N, it should be noted that, for the current access condition parameters of the wireless network N, the duration that the user equipment has already used is zero for the user equipment. Therefore, the duration (that is, the current access condition parameter) already used by the user apparatus A currently transmitting the access request message is the maximum duration that the wireless network N is permitted to use the user apparatus A (that is, the default). If the access condition parameter of the wireless network N is less than the access condition parameter of the wireless network N, the controller determines that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network N. On the contrary, if the duration already used by the user device A is equal to or greater than the maximum duration for which the wireless network N is permitted to use the user device A, then the current access condition parameter of the wireless network N is the default of the wireless network N. It is determined that the access condition parameters are not satisfied.

  Then, when determining that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network, the control device determines the wireless network identifier and access from the control policy parameter list corresponding to the wireless network identifier. The password is obtained, and the identifier and the access password are sent to the user apparatus that sent the access request message, so that the user apparatus accesses the wireless network according to the identifier of the wireless network and the access password.

  In the present embodiment, the current access condition parameter of the wireless network is the current access condition parameter of the wireless network acquired by the control device, and the current access condition parameter may be transmitted to the control device by the access device corresponding to the wireless network. Specifically, the access device corresponding to each wireless network detects the access state of the wireless network corresponding to the access device by real-time or periodic detection, that is, the current access condition parameters of the wireless network, for example, the connected user The number of devices and the duration that each connected user device has already used may be checked and the detected current access condition parameters may be sent to the control device, so that the control device can determine the current access state of each wireless network You can check

  In the present embodiment, the radio network access request message transmitted by the user device to the control device includes at least one radio network identifier. If it is determined that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network if the request message contains only one wireless network identifier, then the control device only has the access password of the wireless network, The request message is sent to the user apparatus that sent it, and as a result, the user apparatus may access the wireless network according to the access password of the wireless network, or sent the request message with the identifier of the wireless network and the access password It may be sent to the user device, so that the user device knows the wireless network to access and may be able to access the wireless network according to the access password of the wireless network. If the request message includes identifiers of multiple wireless networks, for example, two wireless networks, the current access condition parameters of the multiple wireless networks satisfy the predetermined access condition parameters of the multiple wireless networks, respectively. Sends a plurality of wireless network identifiers and an access password to the user equipment sending the request message. In a specific implementation, the control device is a load condition of the plurality of wireless networks, and according to the load condition represented by the current access condition parameter of the plurality of wireless networks, the plurality of wireless devices The identifier and the access password respectively corresponding to the networks are separately transmitted, and as a result, the user device can selectively and preferably access the low load wireless network. It should be noted that the predetermined access condition parameters of the wireless network may further include the sharing status of the wireless network, the sharing status of the wireless network including enabling of sharing or disabling of sharing. If the owner of the wireless network enables sharing of the wireless network, that is, if the sharing status in the predetermined access condition parameters indicates that the sharing is enabled, then the control device determines that the current access condition parameters of the wireless network are the wireless network. In the default access condition parameters of, it is determined whether the requirements of another parameter other than the shared state are satisfied.

  In another embodiment of the present invention, after the user device accesses the wireless network according to the received identifier of the wireless network and the received access password, the user device is notified by the user device according to the use status information of the wireless network The state parameters of the connection to the wireless network may further be sent to the controller.

  Therefore, when it is determined that the state parameter of the connection to the wireless network by the user device does not satisfy the predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network according to the state parameter of the connection of the wireless network transmitted by the user device, the control device The message is sent to the access device of the wireless network, and the disconnection request message includes the identifier of the user device, so that the access device disconnects the user device from the wireless network according to the identifier of the user device included in the disconnection request message .

  The state parameter may include the duration of access to the wireless network by the user device, or traffic of connection to the wireless network, and the state parameter may include, but is not limited to, the above parameter information.

  The predetermined access condition parameter of the wireless network is a parameter representing the state of use of the wireless network, for example, the longest duration permitted to access the wireless network, or the traffic or band permitted to access the wireless network. And may further include a parameter representing the load status of the wireless network, eg, an identifier of a user device authorized to access the wireless network, or a maximum number of user devices authorized to access the wireless network. Please note that good. In the present embodiment, if the predetermined condition parameter of the wireless network includes the above-described parameter indicating the usage status, after the user device accesses the wireless network, the user device follows the status information on use of the wireless network by the user device. The status parameters of the connection by the device to the wireless network may further be sent to the controller.

  In this embodiment of the invention, the control device receives a radio network access request message transmitted by the user equipment and carrying at least one radio network identifier and corresponds to the radio network identifier according to the radio network identifier. Determine control policy parameters. Since the control policy parameter includes the predetermined access condition parameter, the control device determines that the current access condition parameter of the wireless network accessed by the user apparatus satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter. The policy parameters are transmitted to the user device, so that the user device accesses the wireless network according to the identifier of the wireless network and the access password according to the identifier and the access password in the control policy parameter. Control policy parameters for accessing the wireless network are set, as a result of which flexible control of wireless network access is possible. This not only prevents the waste of wireless network resources, but does not affect the quality of wireless network access.

  FIG. 2 is a signaling diagram of a wireless network access control method according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the wireless network access control method includes the following devices: a user device, an access device, a setting device, and a control device. The user device is, for example, a mobile phone or a tablet computer. When a user corresponding to a user device needs to access a wireless network such as a WiFi network to perform network service, the user needs to access the corresponding wireless network using an access device. The configuration device and the access device may be integrated or separately located, the configuration device being mainly used by the owner of each wireless network, ie an access corresponding to each wireless network The owner of the device sets control policy parameters of the owner's wireless network using the configuration device corresponding to the access device.

  206. The user device sends an access request message to the controller.

  The access request message includes the identifier of the nearby wireless network found by the user device. If identifiers of multiple wireless networks are found in the vicinity, the identifiers of the multiple wireless networks are all transmitted to the control device. In another embodiment of the present invention, when multiple wireless network identifiers are found, the user equipment may reorder the found wireless networks according to the signal strength of the found wireless networks. Therefore, the identifiers of the plurality of wireless networks included in the access request message are a predetermined number of identifiers of wireless networks whose signal strength is high after the user equipment reorders the found wireless network.

  Specifically, the access request message may be sent to the controller using a channel such as a voice channel or an SMS message channel. In the SMS message channel scenario, the control device needs the corresponding SMS message number, and the user device uses the access request message as the content of the SMS message, and the content of the SMS message to the control device corresponding to the SMS message number. Send.

  207. The control device obtains a predetermined access condition parameter corresponding to the identifier of the wireless network according to the identifier of the wireless network included in the access request message.

  208. The controller determines, according to the predefined access condition parameters, whether the current access condition parameters of the wireless network satisfy the predefined access condition parameters.

  209. If the current access condition parameter of the wireless network satisfies the predetermined access condition parameter, the control device transmits an identifier of the wireless network and an access password to the user device.

  Specifically, when the control apparatus acquires a predetermined access condition parameter corresponding to the wireless network identifier according to the wireless network identifier included in the access request message, the user apparatus uploads the plurality of wireless network identifiers If so, the controller may determine the wireless network for which its identifier and access password are preferably returned, according to predefined rules. For example, the upper limit at which access to wireless network A is permitted is five user devices, and the upper limit at which access to wireless network B is permitted is five user devices. If five user devices are currently accessing wireless network A and five user devices are currently accessing wireless network B, the identifiers of wireless network A and wireless network B and the access password are not returned. In another example, the number of user devices currently accessing wireless network A is less than 5, eg, one user device and the number of user devices currently accessing wireless network B is less than 5, eg , In the case of three user devices, if according to the access load of the wireless network A and the wireless network B, if the default rule is to return only one available wireless network identifier and access password to the user device The identifier of the wireless network A and the access password are preferably transmitted to the user equipment.

  Specifically, the control device may transmit the identifier of the wireless network A and the access password to the user device using a channel such as a voice channel or an SMS message channel.

  210. The user device accesses the wireless network using the wireless network identifier and the access password.

  If the predefined access condition parameters of the wireless network include traffic allowed to access the wireless network and the duration, the control device needs to monitor the traffic and duration of access to the wireless network by the user device . For example, if the maximum usage duration of one connection to the wireless network is one hour, and the duration of access to the wireless network by the user device reaches one hour, the control device accesses the wireless network The device may, for example, send a request to disconnect the user device's wireless connection, and the access device disconnects the user device's wireless connection upon receiving the request to disconnect the user device's wireless connection. In this case, the user apparatus needs to acquire the wireless network identifier and the access password again from the control apparatus to perform access again.

  Alternatively, the user device periodically updates the state parameters of the connection to the wireless network. For example, the user equipment sends state parameters such as duration and traffic of the connection to the wireless network by the user equipment to the controller, so that the controller is effective for the user equipment's access to the wireless network Control and judgment.

  If the owner of the wireless network modifies the default access condition parameters of the wireless network using the configuration device, for example, if modifying the number of connected user devices, the bandwidth or the maximum access duration time, the configuration It should be noted that the device needs to store the modified access condition parameters of the wireless network on the access device and the control device of the wireless network.

  After the owner of the wireless network modifies the default access condition parameters of the wireless network using the configuration device, the user device is probably not able to access the wireless network. In this case, the user equipment needs to perform the above steps 206 to 209 again to execute the wireless network access procedure.

  In this embodiment of the present invention, upon receiving the access request message sent by the user device, the control device is optimized according to the default access condition parameters of the wireless network, the default access condition parameters set by the owner. The identifier of the wireless network and the access password may be selected, and the identifier and the access password may be sent to the user device, so that the user device accesses the wireless network according to the identifier and the access password of the optimal wireless network. And flexible control of wireless network access. This not only prevents the waste of wireless network resources, but does not affect the quality of wireless network access.
