The effect of the invention is that the download message of the application is transmitted through the wireless router to provide a way for the mobile device to obtain the application, and after the application is obtained, the setting of the wireless router is performed, and the user can be provided. How the application performs wireless router settings.

The foregoing and other technical aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of the wireless router setting method of the present invention is executed by a wireless router 1 and a mobile device 2, and the mobile device 2 is connected to a server 4 during execution. The wireless router 1 includes a storage unit 11 and a control unit 12. The storage unit 11 stores download messages and application programs 3. The control unit 12 performs the main operations of the wireless router 1. The application 4 is also stored in the server 4. The method includes the following steps:

Step S1 - The wireless router 1 provides a wireless network. In detail, the wireless router 1 sends a Wi-Fi wireless network signal, and the wireless network has a service setting identification code, and other devices can enter the wireless network provided by the wireless router 1 by selecting the service setting identification code. road.

In addition, the wireless router 1 usually uses a wired method, such as a telephone line or a network route, to connect to a specific network 5 such as a regional network, an Internet, etc., and then convert the specific network 5 into (Wi-Fi). Share it on the wireless network. Alternatively, wirelessly, such as using a mobile network card, connect to a specific network 5, such as a mobile data network, and then convert that particular network 5 to a (Wi-Fi) wireless network for sharing. However, it should be noted that it is not necessary to connect to other specific networks 5. When not connected, only one internal wireless local area network is provided, and the parameter setting of the wireless router 1 can also be performed using the method of the present invention.

Step S2 - The mobile device 2 activates the wireless network receiving function, and at this time, the service setting identification code of the wireless network that can be detected around the mobile device 2 can be detected and selected by the user, and the user selects the wireless router 1 The provided wireless network service setting identifier enters the wireless network provided by the wireless router 1. Alternatively, the present invention may also manually input a service setting identifier.

Step S3 - The mobile device 2 is connected to the wireless router 1 according to a web address. In this embodiment, the web address is input to the mobile device 2 in an optical barcode. The optical bar code has a plurality of types such as a one-dimensional bar code and a two-dimensional QR code, and the mobile device 2 scans the optical bar code with its lens (not shown) to recognize the web address. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a non-contact bar code such as a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) code and a Near Field Communication (NFC) code input URL may be adopted, and the mobile device 2 is close to a contactless type. The barcode carrier carries the receiving URL with its RFID circuit or NFC circuit. Still alternatively, the invention can be manually entered in a conventional manner.

Step S4 - The wireless router 1 provides the download message of the application 3, for the user of the mobile device 2 to decide how to obtain the application 3, that is, to enable the mobile device 2 to directly download from the wireless router 1 via the wireless network. The application 3 is downloaded from the server 4 via a mobile data network. In addition, if the user does not want to download the application 3 for setting the network environment, the wireless router 1 also provides a traditional web page for network setting.

It should be noted that the traditional webpages are less restrictive than the display method, and the information available is limited. Users will not know the various fields. What to fill out. By setting the application 3 way, the interface display mode of the mobile device 2 can be optimized, and the appearance is displayed by using a more beautiful visual effect, which is suitable for more frequent interaction with the hardware, has higher performance, and performs more complicated operations. And the setting process can be converted into a detailed information providing user by the application 3 as long as the relatively short code is received, and the application 3 is executed on the mobile device 2, and the available permissions are greater than the permissions of the web page, therefore, Using the application 3 to set the network environment, it is easier to design a user-friendly setting method.

Step S5 - Download the application 3 via the mobile data network or the wireless network according to the download message and execute it after installation. The reason for considering the setting of the network environment using the application 3 has been described in step S4. However, if the mobile device 2 is not connected to the Internet, the acquisition of the application 3 is a problem, and therefore, in the present invention, As long as you choose to download the application 3 from the wireless router 1 through the wireless network in this step, the problem of obtaining the application 3 can be overcome.

In addition, the download message can be presented by the user in the form of a window, a webpage or a file file. In this embodiment, the file is presented in the form of a file file, so that the instructions for use can be attached. In another implementation, the download message may be a web address of the application 3 downloaded directly from the wireless router 1, so that the user does not need to make a selection, and the application 3 is directly downloaded and executed.

Step S6 - After the mobile device 2 executes the application 3, the preset parameters (such as a preset service setting identifier and an account number and password for setting the login interface of the wireless router 1) are displayed in an application 3 interface and must be The field input by the user (the account number and password to be provided to the telecommunication provider when connecting to the Internet by wire), and after the user inputs a user parameter in the field, the preset parameter is combined with The user parameters form a set parameter and are transmitted to the wireless router 1.

Step S7 - the wireless router 1 performs network environment setting according to the setting parameter, and tests whether it is correct. If not, sends an error message to the mobile device 2 and proceeds to step S8, and if so, transmits a success message to the mobile device 2 and enters Step S9.

Step S8 - The mobile device 2 displays the corresponding guidance information according to the error message, and re-executes step S6 for the user to correct and transmit the corrected setting parameter to the wireless router 1. The error message is, for example, a short code, and the guidance information is a description of the code, such as the account number and password that need to be provided to the carrier when connecting to the Internet.

Step S9 - The mobile device 2 displays the success information according to the success message.

In summary, the download message of the application 3 is transmitted through the wireless router 1, and the mobile device 1 or the server 4 is allowed to acquire the application 3, and then the setting of the wireless router 1 is performed, thereby providing the user with the application. 3 The method of setting the wireless router 1 is carried out, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
