Referring to FIG. 2, a system for providing access to a wireless router through an application for sharing wireless router access information of the present invention includes a first user terminal 100, a server 200, and a second user terminal 300. It can be done including.

First, the first user terminal 100 may transmit access information necessary for access to the specific wireless router to the server through the application while connected to the specific wireless router. (S201, S202)

In this case, the specific wireless router may be interpreted as a concept including a router capable of using the wireless Internet through the specific wireless router only by inputting an access password set separately by an administrator of the specific wireless router. Although the terminal 100 inputs the access password, it is assumed that the terminal 100 is connected to the specific wireless router after the safety verification procedure as follows.

More specifically, in the present invention, when the first user terminal 100 wants to perform connection to the specific wireless router 500, an access request message for attempting to connect to the specific wireless router through the application for pre-verification. Can be transmitted.

In this case, the specific wireless router may transmit an access response message to the first user terminal 100 in response to the specific wireless router. At this time, the specific wireless router makes a separate connection attempt to the first user terminal 100. A determination may be made as to whether or not the specific wireless router satisfies a predetermined security level, that is, a safety verification procedure may be performed.

As a result of performing the safety verification procedure as described above, if it is determined that the specific wireless router does not perform a separate access attempt to the first user terminal 100, the first user terminal satisfies the safety verification procedure. You can judge.

Unlike the above, when the specific wireless router performs a separate access attempt to the first user terminal through an access response message sent to the first user terminal 100 side, the access attempt is simply the first user terminal. Considering whether or not to establish a connection with the, if the separate access attempt is simply to establish a connection with the first user terminal 100, it may be determined that the safety verification procedure is satisfied at this time.

However, if the separate connection attempt is for obtaining specific information stored in the first user terminal 100 or for transmitting specific information (eg, a hacking program) to the first user terminal, The first user terminal 100 may determine that the specific wireless router is a router that does not satisfy the safety verification procedure.

That is, according to an embodiment of the present invention, before the first user terminal 100 performs a safety verification procedure in advance before performing a connection to a specific router, a plurality of other user terminals including the first user terminal in the future When a connection is made to a specific wireless router, the specific wireless router attempts to access the user terminals to move information related to a user stored in the user terminals to the specific wireless router or This is to prevent such problems because hacking of user terminals can be done.

Therefore, in the present specification, after the first user terminal 100 undergoes a safety verification procedure as described above, the first user terminal 100 performs a connection to a specific wireless router that satisfies the safety verification procedure. This will be described in more detail.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the access information may include at least one or more information of an identifier (ID) of the specific wireless router, an access password (password) and the location information of the specific wireless router. have.

In addition, as described later, if the specific wireless router requires additional authentication information (for example, user name, social security number, date of birth, gender, telephone number, etc.) in addition to the access password in the access information, that is, When the Internet can be used through the specific wireless router only by inputting additional authentication information in addition to the access password, the access information may further include additional authentication information necessary for the additional authentication. Is separated from the access information and may be transmitted to the server 200.

Meanwhile, the identifier of the specific wireless router in the access information means a serial number or an identification number assigned to the specific wireless router so that the specific wireless router can be distinguished from other wireless routers, which is merely an example. The specific wireless router should be interpreted as a concept including all identifiers assigned to distinguish the wireless router from other wireless routers.

In addition, the access password means password information that is set in advance to allow only the user terminal authorized to use a wireless communication network through the specific wireless router administrator of the specific wireless router, the password information of the specific wireless router The location information means information on a specific place (address, coordinates, latitude and longitude, etc.) in which the specific wireless router is installed.

Meanwhile, in the following embodiments of the present invention described herein, each of the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 300 may be pre-installed with an application for sharing the aforementioned wireless router access information. The server 200 may be a server associated with the application.

Accordingly, when the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 300 transmit and receive connection information related to a wireless router through the application, the application may be connected to the server and the first user terminal or the second user. It is assumed that it can play a role of controlling so that the terminal can be connected to each other, in the following, it will be described separately for one embodiment of the present invention that can be performed based on the application sharing the wireless router access information This will be described in detail.

First, in steps S201 and S202, the server 200 that has received the connection information necessary for the connection to the specific wireless router from the first user terminal 100 transmits the received connection information to the database in the server 200. Can be stored in

In this case, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 200 may perform a pre-validation procedure prior to the storing, and the pre-validation may include whether the specific wireless router is currently accessible and a predetermined security level. It may include determining whether to satisfy.

More specifically, when the server 200 receives the access information necessary for accessing a specific wireless router from the first user terminal 100, the server 200 unconditionally stores the received access information in a database in the server. Rather than going through the process of checking whether the specific wireless router is currently available wireless router.

In general, one or more of the wireless routers found in the user terminal may be a wireless router that has a weak signal strength or permits use only to authorized users. Therefore, when information related to the wireless router is provided to the user terminal, since the information about the wireless router that cannot be actually used is provided to the user terminal, the user's desire to use the wireless router is not properly satisfied. May be generated.

Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent such a problem, the specific wireless router is currently available based on the connection information necessary for the server to access the specific wireless router received from the first user terminal. The procedure for checking whether the router is a wireless router will be performed.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 200, the specific wireless router is predetermined based on the connection information necessary for access to the specific wireless router received from the first user terminal 100 The procedure for determining whether the security level is satisfied can also be performed. (S203)

In this case, the determination as to whether the predetermined security level is satisfied may be made by the server 200 attempting to connect to the specific wireless router for the determination. According to the set method, it may be determined whether the predetermined security level is satisfied.

3, there is shown a diagram illustrating a process of performing a pre-verification procedure for a specific wireless router in the server according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above.

Referring to FIG. 3, as mentioned above, the server 200 may transmit an access request message for attempting to access the specific wireless router 500 for pre-verification. (S301)

In this case, the specific wireless router 500 may transmit a connection response message to the server 200 in response thereto, depending on whether the specific wireless router 500 attempts to access the server. A determination may be made as to whether the specific wireless router 500 satisfies a predetermined security level. (S302)

If it is determined that the specific wireless router 500 does not attempt to connect to the server, it may be determined that the predetermined security level is satisfied. (S303)

Unlike the above, when the specific wireless router 200 performs an access attempt to the server side through the access response message sent to the server 500 side, the access attempt is simply to establish a connection with the server. If the connection attempt is simply for establishing a connection with the server, it may be determined that the predetermined security level is satisfied.

However, if the connection attempt is for receiving specific information stored in the server or for transmitting specific information to the server, the server may determine that the specific wireless router is a router that does not satisfy a predetermined security level. Can be.

That is, according to an embodiment of the present invention, whether the server satisfies the predetermined security level is determined in the future when the user terminal accesses the specific wireless router. May attempt to connect to the user terminal to move information related to the user stored in the user terminal to the specific wireless router, or to hack the user terminal. This is to prevent problems.

In addition, when the pre-verification is satisfied according to the above-described process and the access information for the specific wireless router is stored in the server 200, the access password included in the access information is encrypted according to a predetermined method or assured number. May be converted and stored.

Meanwhile, referring back to FIG. 2, after the pre-verification is satisfied in step S203 and the access information for the specific wireless router is stored in the server 200, the second user terminal 300 accesses the specific wireless router. There may be a case where you want to perform this.

More specifically, the applications previously installed in the second user terminal 300 may display one or more wireless routers existing within a predetermined range based on the second user terminal on the display of the second user terminal. Can be controlled.

In this case, the display of the one or more wireless routers may be displayed in such a manner as to represent a map on the application to indicate which location or area in which the one or more wireless routers respectively exist. Alternatively, the list of one or more wireless routers may be displayed in a sequential order such as short range or long range.

Meanwhile, when the second user terminal 300 receives a user request for instructing access to the specific wireless router while the one or more wireless routers are displayed on the application, the second user terminal 300 May transmit a message requesting access information for the specific wireless router to the server through the application, so that the second user terminal 300 receives access information for the specific wireless router from the server. can do. (S204, S205)

Also, the second user terminal 300 may access the specific wireless router based on the access information for the specific wireless router received through the application. (S206)

Accordingly, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a second user terminal, which may be referred to as another user, access information about a specific wireless router inputted by the first user terminal through the application, is received from the server and the specific wireless router is received. There may be an effect that the wireless router connection information may be shared with each other through the application, so that the information can be used for the connection.

On the other hand, although not shown in Figure 2, if you want to try to access the wireless router, in addition to the access password additional settings for requesting additional authentication information (for example, user name, social security number, date of birth, gender, telephone number, etc.) is wireless May exist in the router.

In the above case, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the application previously installed in the second user terminal 300, the first user terminal 100 in step S202 added to the server 200 added The second user terminal 300 is controlled to receive the authentication information from the server 200, so that the second user terminal 300 completes the additional authentication based on the additional authentication information to access the specific wireless router. Can be controlled.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the second user terminal accesses the specific wireless router based on the access information or the additional authentication information received through the application, the second user terminal is connected to the specific wireless router. Advertising information of a company may be transmitted to the second user terminal and displayed through the application.

Herein, the advertisement information is information including an image, an image, an audio, a text, and the like, which introduces a company linked to the specific wireless router, and the company linked to the specific wireless router is directly connected to the server through the application. Contains the uploaded advertisement information.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the application measures the location of the second user terminal, if there is advertising information of the company associated with the wireless router within a predetermined range around the measured position, the Advertising information may be transmitted to the second user terminal.

Referring to FIG. 4, a system for providing access to a wireless router through an application for sharing wireless router access information of the present invention includes a first user terminal 100, a server 200, and a second user terminal 300. It can be done including.

Hereinafter, in FIG. 4, when a user terminal accesses a wireless router through the application according to an embodiment of the present invention, the connection information for a specific wireless router is changed to be different from the wireless router connection information previously stored in a server. When the user terminal is generated, a method of accessing the specific wireless router through the application will be described. In FIG. 4, the same or duplicate content as described above with reference to FIG. 2 will be omitted or briefly described. do.

First, the first user terminal 100 may transmit access information necessary for access to the specific wireless router to the server using the application while being connected to a specific wireless router, and the access information may be transmitted to the server. It may include at least one or more of an identifier (ID), an access password (password) and location information of the specific wireless router. (S401)

At this time, the server 200 that has received the access information necessary for access to the specific wireless router from the first user terminal 100, may store the received access information in the database in the server 200, The server 200 may perform a pre-verification procedure prior to the storage according to the process described above with reference to FIGS. 2 to 3. (S403)

On the other hand, after the pre-verification is satisfied and the server 200 stores the access information for the specific wireless router, a case where the second user terminal 300 attempts to access the specific wireless router may occur. have.

That is, when the second user terminal 300 receives a user request instructing access to the specific wireless router while the one or more wireless routers are displayed on the application, the second user terminal 300 May transmit a message requesting access information for the specific wireless router to the server through the application, so that the second user terminal 300 receives access information for the specific wireless router from the server. can do.

At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, before the server 200 transmits the access information for the specific wireless router to the second user terminal 300, the access information for the specific wireless router is valid. It may be checked whether the information is information.

More specifically, when the second user terminal requests the access information to access the specific wireless router using the access information, whether or not the access information is currently available. You can check whether the connection information is still valid.

Checking whether the connection information is still valid as described above, from the time when the server 200 receives and stores the connection information from the first user terminal 100, the second user terminal 300 This is because there is a time gap between the time points at which attempts to connect to the specific wireless router using the access information may cause a change in the access password for the specific wireless router between the time gaps.

In this case, checking whether the access information is still valid may be performed by the server 200 attempting to directly access the specific wireless router based on the access information stored in the server. The confirmation may be made in various ways according to a preset method only as an example.

On the other hand, as a result of the server 200 confirming whether the access information is still valid, if it is determined that it is valid, the server 200 may transmit the access information to the second user terminal 300.

However, if it is determined that the access information is no longer valid, the server 200 instructs the second user terminal 300 to indicate that the access information for the specific wireless router has changed and the specific radio. A request message may be sent together or separately, requesting a new input of connection information for the router. (S405)

In this case, the second user terminal 300 receiving the indication information and / or the request message may display the indication information and / or the request message through the application, and display the displayed indication information and the request. The user of the second user terminal 300 confirming the message may separately check the access information for the specific wireless router, and perform access to the specific wireless router by inputting modified access information through the application. . (S406)

In this case, the modified access information input by the user of the second user terminal 300 may be transmitted to the server 200 through the application, and the modified access transmitted to the server 200. Information may be stored in the server 200 through the verification procedure described above with reference to FIGS. (S407, S408)
