In an implementation manner, the signal may be the strongest. The two user equipment is determined as the target user equipment 2.

The second user equipment is the first user equipment 1 in the actual application. In the actual application, multiple first user equipments 1 can pass through the same one. The second user equipment is connected to the Internet indirectly. In an implementation manner, the number of user equipments that each second user equipment can connect to is limited, and if the number of connected user equipments is excessive, each user equipment, and the user equipment The network condition of the second user equipment may also be affected. Therefore, in order to ensure that the overall level of the network quality of each user is better, the first user equipment 1 may be selected for each of the scanned second user equipments. The second user device that has the smallest number of other user devices is matched as the target user device.

The third is the sorting information of the network type accessed by the second user equipment, and the network quality corresponding to the different network types accessed by the second user equipment, such as network speed and network security, may be different. The preset sorting criteria are set differently for the network type, and then the sorting information is determined based on the network type accessed by each second user equipment. For example, the directly connected second user equipment is ranked earlier than the indirectly connected second user equipment; and, for example, further For the second user equipment indirectly connected, the higher the number of forwarding levels of the indirect connection, the lower the ordering; for example, the ranking of the wired network is ahead, and the ranking of the mobile hotspot network is relatively backward; for example, the encrypted network ranking In the past, while open network sorting is relatively late, and so on.

The fourth is the ranking information of the network access payment consideration corresponding to the second user equipment. In an implementation, in a implementation manner, the first user equipment 1 accessing the network corresponding to the target user equipment 2 does not need to pay a consideration, that is, free access. Further, in order to encourage more second user equipments to share the network to which they are connected, the network access payment consideration may be set when the first user equipment 1 is connected to the target user equipment 2, and the network access payment consideration may include based on actual application requirements. Various value payment content and payment methods. Therefore, the payment information of the payment may be sorted according to the network access of the different second user equipments, for example, according to the value of the value of the payment.

Included here.

In step S13, the first user equipment 1 can access the network to which the target user equipment 2 is connected based on the short-range communication connection with the target user equipment 2. Correspondingly, in step S21, the target user equipment 2 can connect the first user equipment 1 to the target user equipment 2 based on a short-range communication connection with the first user equipment 1. network of. In an implementation manner, the network to which the target user equipment 2 is connected may include a network directly connected to the target user equipment 2, or a network in which the target user equipment 2 is indirectly connected. The direct connection network includes a conventional Internet access mode, for example, the target user equipment 2 directly accesses a mobile communication network that matches itself, such as a 3G or 4G network; for example, the target user equipment 2 directly accesses a wireless local area network, such as WiFi network, at this time, the target user equipment 2 can choose to directly access a wireless access point. The indirect networking mode may include the manner in which the first user equipment 1 indirectly uses the network of the target user equipment 2 to implement networking in the present application. Here, the target user equipment 2 may implement the current networking status by accessing other target user equipments as the historical first user equipment.

In an implementation manner, the target user equipment 2 directly accesses a certain wireless network, and the target user equipment 2 can initiate a connection request by establishing a connection request to a wireless AP or a wireless router corresponding to the wireless network. . At this time, the first user equipment 1 establishes a short-distance communication connection with the target user equipment 2, and the first user equipment 1 realizes its own networking needs by using the network of the target user equipment 2, for example, The first user equipment 1 sends the network access request to the target user equipment 2, and then the target user equipment 2 sends the network access request to the corresponding network device, and the communication line forwarded to the network device is the target user equipment 2. Further, for example, the reply information from other devices, such as the network device, or the access request, is also sent to the target user equipment 2, and then forwarded by the target user equipment 2 to the A user device 1.

In the present application, the first user equipment 1 having the network connection requirement can determine the target user equipment 2 in the network connection state from the obtained one or more second user equipments, and the implementation is based on the target user equipment 2 The short-range communication connection accesses the network connected to the target user equipment 2. Based on the present application, the first user equipment 1 in a certain area does not have to directly connect to a network central node, such as a general wireless access point, but can establish a close range with other target user equipments 2 that have already implemented networking. The communication connection, indirectly, achieves the purpose of accessing the network connected to the target user equipment 2, and therefore, the number of optional ways for the first user equipment 1 to access the network is increased, and at the same time, the first user equipment 1 that implements networking may also serve as the other The target user equipment 2 of the network user equipment is required to be connected. Therefore, the application can effectively alleviate the connection pressure of the network central node in the corresponding area, such as the user equipment of the wireless access point; in addition, even if the first user equipment 1 is not in the target user In the coverage of the network to which the device 2 is connected, as long as it can establish a close-range communication connection with the target user equipment 1, the indirect access to the network to which the target user equipment 2 is connected can be implemented by the present application. Therefore, compared with the existing network access solution, the total number of mobile devices that can actually access the wireless network is significantly increased in the corresponding area; and the coverage of the actual wireless network is significantly expanded; The pressure of the network center node in the area; and can better meet the network connection needs of more users, and solve the dilemma of no network available.

In an implementation, the method further includes a step S14 (not shown), in which the first user equipment 1 can detect the network connection quality currently corresponding to the first user equipment 1; If the network connection quality threshold is smaller than the preset network connection quality, the matching target user equipment is replaced; and the network connected to the replaced target user equipment is accessed based on the short-distance communication connection with the replaced target user equipment. Here, in order to ensure that the user of the first user equipment 1 can experience the high quality network connection service in real time, the first user equipment 1 can replace the matching target user equipment 2 based on its current network connection quality. In an implementation manner, the replacement of the target user equipment 2 may be based on a selection operation of a corresponding user. In another implementation manner, the corresponding target user equipment 2 may be automatically replaced by the first user equipment 1, for example, if the network connection quality is less than a preset network connection quality threshold, the network communication line is replaced. . In an implementation manner, the corresponding network connection quality threshold may be set based on different types of network connection quality, such as, but not limited to, network signal strength, network connection speed, network security information, and the like; It is also possible to set a network connection quality threshold corresponding to the quality of the integrated network connection.

Further, in an implementation manner, each of the second user equipments in the network connection state may also broadcast a frame, where the target user equipment 2 is included in each of the second user equipments. Corresponding to this state, if a certain user equipment in the range that the first user equipment 1 can scan is not in the network connection state, it is set to not broadcast the frame corresponding to the short-range communication protocol, and therefore will not be The first user equipment 1 scans, and based on this, the proportion of the plurality of second user equipments scanned by the first user equipment 1 and actually connected to the network equipment can be increased, thereby improving the first user equipment 1 Network success rate.

In an implementation manner, the method further includes a step S23 (not shown). In step S23, when at least one of the following is satisfied, the target user equipment 2 may stop broadcasting the frame corresponding to the target user equipment 2: First, the total amount of the first user equipment 1 currently matched by the target user equipment 2 is greater than a preset number of equipment thresholds. In practical applications, in one implementation, Based on the pre-deployed forwarding module in the target user equipment 2, the target user equipment 2 can be matched at the same time, that is, the number of devices that are forwarded at the same time, that is, the total amount of the first user equipment 1 currently matched by the target user equipment 2 is There is a ceiling. The preset device number threshold may be any value less than or equal to the upper limit of the total amount, and the purpose of the setting is to ensure the network connection quality of the target user equipment 2 and the corresponding first user equipment 1 . Second, the number of networking levels corresponding to the target user equipment 2 is greater than a preset indirect networking level threshold. In the actual application scenario, the number of networking levels between the user equipments is set. For example, if the target user equipment 2 is directly connected to the network, it is a single layer network connection; for example, if the target user equipment 2 is connected The network of the target user equipment 3, and the target user equipment 3 is directly connected to the network, the target user equipment 2 is a Layer 2 network, corresponding to one-time forwarding; and so on, the device indirect network level threshold is N layer That is, the maximum connection level of the target user equipment 2 does not exceed the N layer, and corresponds to forwarding N-1 times.

If the at least one of the foregoing items is satisfied, the target user equipment 2 may stop broadcasting the frame corresponding to the target user equipment 2, so that the first user equipment 1 cannot scan the target user equipment 2. Further, in an implementation manner, if one or more first user equipments 1 that are matched by the target user equipment 2 are disconnected, the target user equipment 2 may reply to broadcast its corresponding frame, so that it can be used by other seconds again. User device discovery. In an implementation manner, the frame broadcast by the second user equipment may be a presence frame, where the frame includes the identification information of the second user equipment, and is used by other devices, such as the first user equipment 1 to scan.
