S2. Set the search radius of the WIFI hotspot.

The search radius is larger than the coverage radius of the WIFI hotspot signal.

S3: Taking the current location as the center, obtaining WIFI hotspot information within the search radius from the WIFI hotspot database.

Among them, the WIFI hotspot database is pre-established. The WIFI hotspot database is established by collecting all WIFI hotspot information in a certain area through the network. For example: collect all WIFI hotspot information in Beijing and establish a WIFI hotspot database in Beijing.

For example, if the current location information is 30.00 degrees north latitude, 110.80 degrees east longitude, and the search radius is 1000 meters, the location of 30.00 degrees north latitude and 110.80 degrees east longitude can be regarded as the center, with a search radius of 1000 meters, to the WIFI hotspot database. Search to get WIFI hotspot information within the search range. Since the coverage radius of the WIFI hotspot signal is generally between ten meters and several tens of meters, if the user is outside the coverage of a WIFI hotspot signal, such as 200 meters away from the WIFI hotspot, the WIFI hotspot cannot be searched. Therefore, after the search radius is set to 1000 meters, the WIFI hotspot information can be obtained through the WIFI hotspot database.

If present, the signal strength of the WIFI hotspot is further obtained. If the signal strength of the WIFI hotspot is the same, the coordinate information may be updated. For example, the two coordinate information may be connected into one line segment, and the midpoint position of the line segment is taken as the updated coordinate information. However, if the signal strength of the WIFI hotspot is not the same, the current WIFI hotspot can be directly saved to the WIFI hotspot database as a new WIFI hotspot.

If there is no WIFI hotspot in the WIFI hotspot database that is consistent with the WIFI name of the current WIFI hotspot, the current WIFI hotspot may be directly saved to the WIFI hotspot database, thereby realizing the update of the WIFI hotspot database.
