本申请涉及信息技术领域，尤其涉及一种无线接入点认证信息的查询方法与设备。
背景技术
当前，在用户使用移动终端设备进行无线接入的场景下，持续移动的用户需要接入具有不同覆盖范围的无线接入点，因此需要不断获得当前分享的可接入无线接入点的认证信息。将无线接入点的认证信息提供给用户的现有技术主要存在两种方案，方案一是预先下发全部或大量无线接入点认证信息到用户设备上，方案二是根据扫描到的无线接入点列表实时向服务器查询无线接入点的认证信息。方案一由于将大量无线接入点认证信息存放在用户设备上，因此存在较大的安全风险；方案二可以实时查询无线接入点的认证信息，但是由于用户的移动终端设备每隔10秒就会扫描周围信道，只要扫描到的无线接入点发生变化，就需要重新向服务器查询无线接入点的认证信息，如果不进行查询可能会导致无线接入点认证信息更新不及时，而频繁的查询不但增加服务器端的负载压力，也会耗费用户的数据流量。

本申请实施例提供了一种用于在服务器端查询无线接入点认证信息的方法，如图1所示，该方法具体包括如下步骤：
步骤S101，获取用户设备发送的查询请求，并根据所述查询请求确定目标无线接入点；
步骤S102，根据关联规则，确定与所述目标无线接入点关联的无线接入点；
步骤S103，获取所述目标无线接入点及其关联无线接入点的认证信息；
步骤S104，将所述认证信息发送到所述用户设备。
该方案尤其适合用于用户设备在移动时进入不同的无线接入点覆盖范围并需要获取可接入的分享无线接入点的认证信息的场景，能够根据用户设备提供的无线接入点的扫描列表确定与扫描列表中的无线接入点其关联的多个无线接入点，再进一步将获取的无线接入点及其关联无线接入点的认证信息返回给用户设备，供用户设备使用认证信息接入到相应的无线接入点，如图5所示。图中的终端即用户设备，扫描到的热点即无线接入点，关联热点即与扫描到的无线接入点有一定关联的无线接入点。
在此，用户设备指的是用户可携带的、可用于连接无线接入点的移动终端设备，用户设备通过向无线接入点提供相应的访问密码来获得对该无线接入点的接入许可，从而通过该无线接入点访问互联网络。
无线接入点即wifi热点，用于向无线用户提供网络接入服务，是无线网络与有线网络间沟通的桥梁，其提供能覆盖一定范围的无线信号，覆盖范围可以是球形。无线接入点的标识为SSID(Service Set Identifier，服务集标识)，无线访问用户通过SSID来识别不同的无线接入点。无线接入点的许可接入可设置为使用密码和不使用密码两种方式，通常无线接入点的接入是需要提供访问密码的，以避免未经授权的用户进行接入。当前，有 很多商业用户如餐厅、咖啡店、商场等会提供免费的无线接入点给其他用户使用，这些免费使用的无线接入点也需要知道访问密码才能接入，因此产生了对无线接入点的访问密码等认证信息的保存和查询需求，从而促使多家服务供应商提供无线接入点认证信息的获取、存储、查询和更新服务，无线接入用户自己不需要去查找无线接入点的认证信息，只要通过服务供应商提供的无线接入点认证信息服务就可以获得想要连接的无线接入点的认证信息，再进一步接入该无线接入点并访问互联网。
移动终端设备会周期性地对周围的无线信道进行扫描，以获取可用于接入的无线接入点，由于一个无线接入点具有一定的覆盖范围，因此用户的移动终端设备通过无线信道扫描得到的无线接入点往往是多个，扫描得到的多个无线接入点即用户设备获取的扫描列表，用户可以通过选择扫描列表中无线接入点的标识来确定要连接哪个无线接入点。
在此，无线信道也称作通道(Channel)、频段，是以无线信号(电磁波)作为传输载体的数据信号传送通道。无线接入点可在多个无线信道上运行，目前主流的无线网络设备不管是支持802.11b/g标准还是支持802.11b/g/n标准一般都支持13个信道。这13个信道的中心频率虽然不同，但是因为都占据一定的频率范围，所以会有一些相互重叠的情况。以常用的2.4GHz(＝2400MHz)频带的信道划分为例，每个信道具有不同的中心频率，每个信道的有效宽度是20MHz，另外还有2MHz的强制隔离频带(类似于公路上的隔离带)。其中信道1的中心频率为2412MHz，其频率范围为2401～2423MHz，信道2的中心频率为2417MHz，其频率范围为2406～2428MHz，信道6的中心频率为2437MHz，其频率范围为2426～2448MHz，信道11的中心频率为2462MHz，其频率范围为2451～2473MHz。由此可知，其中1、6、11三个信道使用的频率范围是完全没有交叠的，即常说的三个互不重叠的信道，分别使用这三个信道的无线接入点不会产生信号的干扰。
用户设备通过无线信道扫描得到扫描列表，扫描列表包括所有可搜索到的无线接入点，在向用户展示时通常只显示无线接入点的标识即SSID，无线接入点的标识通常是可读的字符串，方便用户识别不同的无线接入点，例如，某用户通过一次无线信道扫描得到一个扫描列表，扫描列表中包括 三个无线接入点，标识分别为AP1、AP2、AP3。
用户设备在得到扫描列表后，为了得到扫描列表中无线接入点对应的认证信息，需要向保存有大量无线接入点认证信息的后台服务器提交查询请求，由后台服务器查询到相应的认证信息后再返回给用户设备。在此，用户设备发送的查询请求中包含通过无线信道扫描得到的扫描列表，扫描列表中包含无线接入点的标识，此时用户设备可能已经接入其它无线接入点也可能未接入无线接入点，如果未接入无线接入点，用户设备需要通过自身的移动数据连接如GPRS、3G或4G网络向后台服务器提交查询请求，如果已经接入其它无线接入点，用户设备可通过接入的无线接入点向服务器提交查询请求。
在此，无线接入点的认证信息包括热点密码和/或是否有热点密码标识，热点密码是用于对用户的接入合法性进行检验的访问密码，只有能提供合法访问密码的用户才被允许接入，例如，一个无线接入点的SSID为“ChinaNet-S2G4”，其对应的访问密码为“123456”，则无线访问用户在连接“ChinaNet-S2G4”时，访问密码输入“123456”才能成功接入。此外，无线接入点的认证信息还可以包括额外信息如路由器MAC地址、路由器加密方式、通信信道等。在本申请实施例提供的方案中，后台服务器首先获取无线接入点的是否有热点密码标识，如果该无线接入点的认证信息中的是否有热点密码标识为真，说明该无线接入点有密码，则再进行下一步获取相应的热点密码；如果该无线接入点的认证信息中的是否有热点密码标识为假，说明该无线接入点没有密码，无需进行下一步的获取热点密码操作。与本申请实施例提供的方案不同的是，现有技术下是后台服务器直接一起下发标识和密码的。从而，本申请实施例的方案能根据实际需求进行数据库查询，避免无效的查询操作，能减少数据库资源的消耗，提高查询效率。
服务器在接收到用户设备提交的查询请求后，需要将其中的无线接入点确定为要进行认证信息查找的无线接入点，即目标无线接入点，服务器根据目标无线接入点在保存有无线接入点认证信息的数据库中查询，得到相应的认证信息，如果在数据库中没有相应的认证信息，则相应的认证信 息设置为空值。在此，服务器通过使用目标无线接入点的标识来进行查询。由于查询请求中包含多个无线接入点，目标无线接入点可以只是用户选择的一个无线接入点，也可以是包含多个无线接入点的集合。
服务器获得作为查询输入的目标无线接入点后，在进行认证信息查询前，还需要对要查询的无线接入点进行扩展。由于用户设备发送的扫描列表中包含的无线接入点只是用户在移动过程中处于某个位置时得到的扫描结果，用户在收到返回的无线接入点认证信息时很可能已经移动到了某些无线接入点的覆盖范围之外，而位于某些新的无线接入点的覆盖范围内，又需要向服务器提交新的扫描列表，即使用户可以暂时停留以接入到达认证信息的无线接入点，但是只要用户移动到该无线接入点的覆盖范围之外，就需要向服务器发送新的无线接入点的查询请求。因此，不断进行实时的认证信息查询，既增加了服务器的响应压力，也会不断消耗用户的数据流量，并不是较好的解决方案。
本申请实施例通过无线接入点的关联规则将要查询的无线接入点扩展为包含目标无线接入点及其关联无线接入点的集合，如图4所示。图中的终端即用户设备，扫描到的热点即无线接入点，邻居热点即关联无线接入点。通过上述无线接入点的扩展能在一次数据库查询中对更多的无线接入点标识进行查询，也能获得更多的无线接入点认证信息并发送给用户设备，因此提高了服务器的查询效率，也减少了用户设备的流量消耗。在此，本申请实施例提供的方案还对扩展后的无线接入点执行去重操作，根据无线接入点的SSID去掉重复的无线接入点，再根据去重后的无线接入点集合进行认证信息的查询。
在此，某个无线接入点的关联无线接入点即与该无线接入点存在关联关系的其它无线接入点，存在关联关系的其它无线接入点例如可以指的是地理位置与该无线接入点相邻，各自无线信号的覆盖范围存在一定重叠的无线接入点。用户在移动时可能从一个无线接入点的覆盖范围移动到其关联无线接入点的覆盖范围，因此通过先后接入该无线接入点及其关联无线接入点可实现持续的互联网访问，减少与互联网断开的可能性。
在服务器端，无线接入点及其关联无线接入点间的关联规则是预先建 立并持续更新的，例如可以根据最近获得的扫描列表进行更新。本申请实施例中确定某个无线接入点的关联无线接入点的方法是将用户设备发送的同一个扫描列表中所有的无线接入点确定互为关联无线接入点，即同一扫描列表中任何一个无线接入点的关联无线接入点是该扫描列表中除了该无线接入点外的所有其它无线接入点，例如，某个认证信息查询场景中服务器接收到的一个用户设备终端1发送的扫描列表，如图3所示，其中包括三个无线接入点，标识分别为：AP1、AP2和AP3，则AP1、AP2和AP3互为关联无线接入点，即AP1的关联无线接入点是AP2和AP3，AP2的关联无线接入点为AP1和AP3，AP3的关联无线接入点是AP1和AP2。由此，服务器可为每个无线接入点及其关联无线接入点建立映射表，在用户提交查询请求时，根据提交的无线接入点查询到对应的关联无线接入点，由于提交的无线接入点可能是多个，因此最终查询得到的关联无线接入点也可能是多个。更具体地，服务器通过无线接入点的标识即SSID建立到关联无线接入点的SSID的映射数据库表。
在上述示例中，服务器上已经建立了三条关联规则：“AP1的关联无线接入点为{AP2，AP3}”，“AP2的关联无线接入点为{AP1，AP3}”，“AP3的关联无线接入点为{AP1，AP2}”，当某个用户对想要接入的无线接入点AP1向服务器提出查询请求后，服务器会先将AP1确定为目标无线接入点，再在关联规则集中查找与AP1相关的关联规则，找到的关联规则为“AP1的关联无线接入点为{AP2，AP3}”，由此可知AP1的关联无线接入点为AP2和AP3。如果用户想要获得认证信息的无线接入点为{AP1，AP2}，则服务器分别对AP1和AP2进行查询得到的关联规则为“AP1的关联无线接入点为{AP2，AP3}”，“AP2的关联无线接入点为{AP1，AP3}”，去掉关联无线接入点集合中重复的无线接入点，最终得到{AP1，AP2}的关联无线接入点为{AP1，AP2，AP3}。
服务器上建立的关联规则并不是一成不变的，由于无线接入点的信息变化较为频繁，与之对应的关联规则也需要持续更新以适应改变的无线接入环境。服务器仍然以用户设备提交的扫描列表作为关联规则更新的依据，将某个无线接入点的新的关联无线接入点加入到关联规则中。任一无线接 入点的关联无线接入点包括包含该无线接入点的一个或多个扫描列表中的其他无线接入点。仍以前述场景为例，有用户设备终端2提交了新的扫描列表，其中包含三个无线接入点，标识分别为：AP1、AP4和AP5，如图3所示，则服务器接收到该扫描列表后将AP1的关联规则更新为“AP1的关联无线接入点为{AP2，AP3，AP4，AP5}”，两个新的关联无线接入点AP4和AP5加入到了AP1的关联规则中，如果有用户提交AP1的认证信息查询请求，服务器对AP1的关联无线接入点的查询结果是{AP2，AP3，AP4，AP5}。
服务器对目标无线接入点进行扩展，得到的结果是包括目标无线接入点及其关联无线接入点的集合，此集合中的无线接入点个数可能是1个或多个，再对此集合中的无线接入点在数据库中查询对应的认证信息，最简单的认证信息只包含访问密码信息。仍以上述场景为例，服务器接收用户提交的对无线接入点AP1的查询请求，经过查询AP1的关联规则得到AP1的关联无线接入点为{AP2，AP3，AP4，AP5}，再对无线接入点的集合{AP1，AP2，AP3，AP4，AP5}查询对应的访问密码，得到无线接入点与访问密码的对应信息{{“AP1”，“PASS1”}，{“AP2”，“PASS2”}，{“AP3”，“PASS3”}，{“AP4”，“PASS4”}，{“AP5”，“PASS5”}}。
服务器查询得到目标无线接入点及其关联无线接入点对应的认证信息后，再把认证信息返回到提交该查询请求的用户设备上，供用户设备保存。
本申请实施例还提供了一种用于在用户设备端查询无线接入点认证信息的方法，如图2所示，该方法具体包括如下步骤：
S201，确定需要查询的目标无线接入点；
S202，在认证信息缓存中查找所述目标无线接入点的认证信息，其中，所述认证信息缓存用于保存从服务器获取的无线接入点的认证信息；
S203，在所述认证信息缓存中存在所述目标无线接入点的认证信息时，读取所述目标无线接入点的认证信息；
S204，在所述认证信息缓存中不存在所述目标无线接入点的认证信息时，向所述服务器发送查询请求；
S205，接收并保存服务器发送的基于所述查询请求确定的目标无线接入点及其关联无线接入点的认证信息。
该方案用于在用户设备端查询本地保存的无线接入点认证信息并向服务器端提交目标无线接入点的认证信息查询请求。本申请的一个目的是减少与服务器的交互，因此，服务器会在接收到用户设备的首次查询请求时会将其提交的无线接入点及关联无线接入点的认证信息返回给用户设备端，用户设备端将接收到的认证信息保存在本地缓存中，在扫描列表发生变化时先在本地缓存中查找无线接入点的认证信息，在没有查到的情况下再向服务器提交查询请求。
该方案首先获取通过信道扫描得到的无线接入点列表，无线接入点列表即扫描列表，再将其中包含的无线接入点确定为目标无线接入点，目标无线接入点即是要获得认证信息的无线接入点，也可以是用户想要接入的无线接入点，因此，目标无线接入点可以是一个或多个，根据具体情况确定。在此，目标无线接入点通过各自的标识信息进行区分。
得到目标无线接入点后，用户设备需要获得目标无线接入点中至少一个无线接入点的认证信息，用于进行无线接入。本申请实施例中提供的方案是先在本地的认证信息缓存中查找目标无线接入点对应的认证信息，如果能查到相应的认证信息，就可以直接从认证信息缓存中读取相应的认证信息，不需要向服务器发生目标无线接入点的查询请求。如果用户设备是首次安装无线接入认证信息服务商提供的客户端APP，则本地的认证信息缓存是没有数据的，需要提交相应的无线接入点认证信息查询请求并根据服务器端返回的认证信息进行填充。另外，可能只有部分目标无线接入点的认证信息在本地认证信息缓存中存在，此时的策略可以选择不向服务器发送查询请求，只接入本地认证信息缓存中存在认证信息的相应无线接入点，还可以将本地认证信息缓存中不存在相应认证信息的无线接入点作为要查询的无线接入点发送给服务器，以获得这些无线接入点的认证信息。仍以前述场景为例，用户设备端通过信道扫描得到的扫描列表包括三个无线接入点：AP1、AP2和AP3，此时先在本地认证信息缓存中查找，本地认证信息缓存中存在一条数据{“AP2”，“PASS2”}，因此目标无线接入点 AP2可查询到对应的认证信息“PASS2”，从而可以通过从缓存中读取此认证信息来接入无线接入点AP2，也可以向服务器端发送AP1和AP3的查询请求以获得相应的认证信息。
如果目标无线接入点中的一个或多个无线接入点在本地认证信息缓存中不存在对应的认证信息，那么用户设备端就可以向服务器提交目标无线接入点的查询请求来获得认证信息，并在接收到服务器发送的目标无线接入点及其关联无线接入点的认证信息后将这些认证信息保存到本地的认证信息缓存中，供以后查询使用。仍以前述场景为例，用户设备得到包含三个无线接入点AP1、AP2和AP3的扫描列表，如果在本地认证信息缓存中不存在AP1、AP2和AP3中任何一个无线接入点的认证信息，则用户设备将{AP1，AP2，AP3}作为目标无线接入点提交给服务器端，服务器将其扩展为{AP1，AP2，AP3，AP4，AP5}，这里AP4和AP5是AP1的关联无线接入点，查询保存认证信息的数据库得到认证信息{{“AP1”，“PASS1”}，{“AP3”，“PASS3”}，{“AP5”，“PASS5”}}，用户设备端接收服务器返回的对应AP1、AP3和AP5的认证信息并保存到认证信息缓存中。
为避免只往缓存中添加认证信息导致缓存越来越大所可能带来的信息泄漏问题和缓存查询速度降低的性能问题，本申请实施例为本地认证信息缓存的内容能使用的容量预先设置了一个上限值，从而在保存新获取的无线接入点认证信息时先确定没有超过容量上限值，如果超过就按照时间顺序对本地认证信息缓存中的认证信息进行删除，具体的时间标准可以根据用户的需要设定，如最近一次使用的时间、最近一次认证信息更新时间等。
此外，缓存中保存的认证信息在使用后被发现连接对应的无线接入点失败，这说明该无线接入点的认证信息已经发生了改变，当前缓存中的认证信息已经失效了，因此需要将失效的认证信息从认证信息缓存中清除，还可以进一步将失效认证信息对应的无线接入点提交给服务器端，告知该无线接入点已经失效，服务器端再对该无线接入点进行相应的失效处理。
本申请实施例还提供了一种用于在服务器端查询无线接入点认证信 息的设备，该设备包括用于存储计算机程序指令的存储器和用于执行程序指令的处理器，其中，当该计算机程序指令被该处理器执行时，触发该设备执行前述用于在服务器端查询无线接入点认证信息的方法。
本申请实施例还提供了一种用于在用户设备端查询无线接入点认证信息的设备，该设备包括用于存储计算机程序指令的存储器和用于执行程序指令的处理器，其中，当该计算机程序指令被该处理器执行时，触发该设备执行前述用于在用户设备端查询无线接入点认证信息的方法。
本申请实施例还提供了一种计算机可读介质，其上存储有计算机可读指令，所述计算机可读指令可被处理器执行以实现前述用于在服务器端查询无线接入点认证信息的方法和用于在用户设备端查询无线接入点认证信息的方法。
综上所述，本申请提供的方案能够根据用户发送的无线接入点扫描列表获得确定的目标无线接入点，再进一步获取相应无线接入点的认证信息并保存到用户移动设备中，在进行无线接入时先在用户移动设备中查找相应的无线接入点认证信息，只有在移动设备中不存在相应认证信息的情况下才向服务器提交查询请求，从而能够减少与服务器的交互次数，降低服务器的负载压力，节省用户移动设备的数据流量，还能保证无线接入点认证信息在用户移动设备上的及时更新。
