Step S304, the smart device provides a two-dimensional code, wherein the two-dimensional code includes Bluetooth pairing information of the smart device. If the smart device has a display device such as a display screen, the pre-stored two-dimensional code containing the Bluetooth pairing information of the smart device may be displayed through the display screen; if the smart device does not have the display screen, the pre-acquired device may be obtained. The QR code is attached to the surface of the smart device to provide a QR code. In summary, the present application does not limit the manner in which a smart device provides a two-dimensional code.

Step S306, the mobile client scans the two-dimensional code to obtain Bluetooth pairing information of the smart device included in the two-dimensional code. Specifically, the mobile client enables the scanner to scan the two-dimensional code, and parses the two-dimensional code to obtain Bluetooth pairing information of the smart device it contains. The Bluetooth pairing information only includes the identification information (ID) and the MAC address information of the smart device, and does not include the PIN code, that is, the PIN code information is not needed in the Bluetooth pairing process.

Step S308, the mobile client establishes a Bluetooth connection with the smart device according to the Bluetooth pairing information. Specifically, the mobile client and the smart device both turn on the Bluetooth function, and the mobile client searches for the smart device according to the device ID and the MAC address included in the Bluetooth pairing information, and establishes a Bluetooth physical connection. It should be noted that only the device ID and the MAC address are required in the Bluetooth pairing process, and the pairing process can be completed without inputting the PIN code, thereby realizing a fast Bluetooth connection.

In an actual implementation, when the mobile client obtains the Bluetooth pairing information of the smart device through the scan code After that, Bluetooth pairing and Bluetooth connection are automatically performed, that is, the Bluetooth pairing process after scanning the QR code is a non-perceive operation for the user, and the user does not need to care about how the specific Bluetooth pairing process is performed.

Step S310, the mobile client acquires WiFi setting information set for the smart device. Specifically, the mobile client enters a WiFi setting interface of the smart device, and the user sets the WiFi setting information of the smart device in the WiFi setting interface. The WiFi setting information refers to various information required to connect the smart device to the designated WiFi network, and may include, for example, turning on the WiFi network, selecting a WiFi network, and setting a password. Then, the mobile client obtains various WiFi setting information set by the above user for the smart device.

Step S312, the mobile client sends the WiFi setting information to the smart device through a Bluetooth connection.

Step S314, the smart device establishes a WiFi connection according to the WiFi setting information.

Step S316, disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the mobile client and the smart device, and the mobile client and the smart device turn off the Bluetooth function, and the process ends.
