However, with the increase in the number of users of mobile communication technology services, mobile telecommunication base stations built by mobile telecommunication service providers are unable to carry the system load brought by large telecom users, and accordingly, there are mobile telecommunication service providers through Widely set up regional network (commonly known as hotspot), which can disperse the system load caused by large telecom users to mobile communication base stations, but each regional network needs telecommunications users to actively provide corresponding ones in the process of using the regional network. The local area network connection permission is used to use the local area network, and each mobile telecommunications service provider needs to provide different regional network connection rights, so that the usage rate of the telecommunication users is always low.

In addition, since mobile devices with networking functions have been widely used, merchants have begun to use a wireless network sharing module to wirelessly connect their wired Internet services with mobile telecommunication service providers. The locality network is built to provide consumers with free access to the regional network in the process of consumption, in order to attract crowds and increase sales. Or is it, Independent telecommunications service providers in some areas establish wireless local area networks in their respective commercial areas to provide this service to users. However, as mentioned above, many consumers do not actively ask the merchant to establish the network connection rights of the area network in the area, resulting in the network usage rate of the area cannot be improved. Moreover, since the current local network connection rights need to be provided by the merchants independently, the merchants have no need to provide the consumer's regional network connection rights during the busy time, which causes the consumers to complain about the service quality. In addition, more consumers will not enter the store after they first obtain the network connection rights in the area. They only use the free area network provided by the store outside the store, which will cause the local area network. Sharing the burden of the module, which in turn does not provide consumers with better wireless network quality, disguisely reduces the willingness of consumers to use the local area network provided by the merchant.
