Background technique

In a general wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) environment, a router provides a Wi-Fi network for a user. However, the Wi-Fi coverage provided by the router is limited. At the edge of the Wi-Fi coverage or beyond the Wi-Fi coverage, the problem of abnormal Wi-Fi network will occur.

Based on this, there are mainly two solutions for increasing Wi-Fi coverage. Option 1: Connect the router to each room through a wired network, and provide Wi-Fi network for each room. Option 2: Use multiple Wi-Fi routers directly to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

The above two solutions can ensure that the Wi-Fi network covers all rooms, but the service set identifier (SSID) of each Wi-Fi router needs to be configured separately. In this way, during the roaming process of the terminal device in each room, the terminal device needs to disconnect from the connected Wi-Fi router and identify the SSID of the new Wi-Fi router again.

The operation of turning on the Wi-Fi hotspot is detected, and a pairing request is sent to the AP device, and the pairing request is used to request pairing with the AP device. If the pairing is successful, a second Wi-Fi network of the Wi-Fi hotspot is configured, and the second SSID of the second Wi-Fi network is the same as the first SSID.

In this way, after accessing the network of the AP device, the electronic device can determine whether to enable the hotspot according to user requirements. After detecting the operation of turning on the hotspot, the electronic device can automatically synchronize with the Wi-Fi information configuration of the AP device, so as to provide the user with a configuration-free hotspot. In addition, the electronic device and the AP device use the same SSID as a device in the Layer 2 roaming domain of the AP device to ensure that the terminal device can seamlessly roam between the AP device and the electronic device after accessing the Wi-Fi network.

In a possible implementation manner, if the pairing is successful, configuring the second Wi-Fi network of the Wi-Fi hotspot includes: if the pairing is successful, sending Wi-Fi module information to the AP device, where the Wi-Fi module information includes One or more of the following contents: the first SSID, wireless local area network WLAN information, and device information.

In some embodiments, the electronic device sends Wi-Fi module information to the AP device, so that the AP device configures the Wi-Fi network of the electronic device based on the Wi-Fi module information. The AP device may be configured with one or more SSIDs, and the electronic device informs the AP device of the SSID it accesses, and the AP device does not need to query. The WLAN information of the electronic device includes, for example, information on radio frequency bands supported by the electronic device. The device information of the electronic device includes, for example, the manufacturer and model of the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device sends a pairing request to the AP device for requesting confirmation of whether it is securely admitted. The connection information includes connection request parameters, which are used to request the AP device to confirm its security, allow subsequent network configuration of the first electronic device, and synchronize the SSID of the first electronic device with the SSID of the AP device. The connection information may include the MAC address of the first electronic device. After the AP device receives the connection information, it confirms that the MAC address is a MAC address in the preset whitelist, confirms security, and allows the first electronic device to establish a connection with the AP device.

In some embodiments, before the electronic device performs network configuration synchronization, its SSID may be different from the first SSID of the access AP device. At this time, if the terminal device roams from the AP device to the electronic device, it is necessary to re-enter information such as the user password. Therefore, through pairing and synchronization of network configuration, the electronic device can provide users with a non-aware roaming service.

For example, the indicator light of the AP device flashes in mode 1 to prompt the user to confirm pairing. After that, if the AP device detects that the user clicks the hi key, it confirms that the user has confirmed the pairing and the connection can be established.

Volatile memory may be random access memory (RAM), which acts as an external cache. By way of example and not limitation, many forms of RAM are available, such as static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), synchronous DRAM, SDRAM), double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (double data rate SDRAM, DDR SDRAM), enhanced synchronous dynamic random access memory (enhanced SDRAM, ESDRAM), synchronous link dynamic random access memory (synchlink DRAM, SLDRAM) ) and direct rambus RAM (DR RAM) or other magnetic storage devices, or any other device that can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a computer medium, but not limited to this. The memory may exist independently and be connected to the processor 201 through the communication line 202 . The memory 203 may also be integrated with the processor 201 .

The processor 201 is configured to execute the computer-executed instructions stored in the memory 203, so as to implement the carrier transmission method provided by the following embodiments of the present application.

Optionally, the computer-executed instructions in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as application code, instructions, computer programs, or other names, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the processor 201 may include one or more CPUs, such as CPU0 and CPU1 in FIG. 2 .

In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the communication device may include multiple processors, such as the processor 201 and the processor 205 in FIG. 2 . Each of these processors can be a single-core (single-CPU) processor or a multi-core (multi-CPU) processor. A processor herein may refer to one or more devices, circuits, and/or processing cores for processing data (eg, computer program instructions).

The above-mentioned communication device may be a general-purpose device or a dedicated device, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the communication device. The first electronic device may be a device having a structure similar to that of FIG. 2 .

In the following, the AP device 100 is a router that provides a Wi-Fi network and supports Hilink, the first electronic device 200 is a PC with the structure shown in FIG. 2 , and the third electronic device 300 is a mobile phone as an example. Wi-Fi configuration method is explained.

In some scenarios, the parent and child routers are used to extend the Wi-Fi network coverage of the routers. Specifically, the parent-child router includes a parent router and at least one child router, wherein the child router is connected to the parent router through a wired connection or Wi-Fi relay, and the parent router and the child router form a Hilink network. In addition, the SSIDs of the parent router and the child router are the same. During the roaming process of switching connections between the parent router and the child router, terminal devices such as mobile phones can ensure that there is no signal jam problem caused by roaming. The parent router can also be described as the main router, and the child router can also be described as the secondary router.

In some embodiments, the child router accesses the parent router based on software access. It is assumed that a Hilink application (application, APP) is installed in the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is connected to the sub-router. The mobile phone can use the Hilink APP to automatically obtain the SSID and password of the parent router, so as to send the SSID and password to the child router, so that the child router can access the parent router. Of course, the mobile phone can also use the Hilink APP to receive the SSID and password entered by the user, so that the child router can access the parent router.

Alternatively, the sub-router is connected to the parent router through one-touch hard key interconnection. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3 , both the parent router and the sub-router are in a power-on (power on) state (S301 and S302 shown in FIG. 3 ). In the Hilink discovery phase, the parent router sends a probe frame, and probes the child router by means of probe frame interaction (S303 shown in Figure 3). After that, the indicator light of the parent router lights up in the first way (S304 as shown in FIG. 3 ) to remind the user that the child router has been discovered and can be connected. The parent router detects that the user presses the hi key (S305 as shown in Figure 3), enters the Hilink handshake stage, continues to interact with the sub-router for probe frames (S306 as shown in Figure 3), and transmits information for connection , such as the Hilink information element. And, the indicator lights of the parent router and the sub-router light up in the second way (S307 and S308 shown in Fig. 3 ) to remind the user that the sub-router is currently being accessed. The parent router and the child router shake hands through the Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) (S309 and S310 shown in Figure 3) to complete the setting of the SSID and password, so that the child router can access the parent router. Among them, the lighting mode of the indicator light can be pre-configured in the parent router, for example, the first mode is always on, and the second mode is flashing.

In the current scenario, due to the limited Wi-Fi coverage area of a single router, if a larger Wi-Fi coverage area is required, multiple parent and child routers need to be configured, which is costly. In addition, if the parent and child routers are not matched, the SSID of each child router needs to be configured separately, which makes the maintenance process more complicated.

In other scenarios, a PC is used as a relay point device to extend the Wi-Fi network coverage of the router. Specifically, after the PC is connected to the Wi-Fi network provided by the router, the personal hotspot function or the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) signal bridge function is enabled to act as a relay point of the Wi-Fi network to provide Wi-Fi for edge terminal devices. -Fi network.

Exemplarily, as shown in the interface 401 in FIG. 4 , after the PC detects the user's operation on the control 41 on the interface 401 , the PC enables the personal hotspot function. And after detecting the operation on the control 42, the editing of the device name corresponding to the current hot spot by the user is received. After detecting the operation on the control 43, the user's edit of the password corresponding to the current hotspot is received. In this way, the PC completes the setting of the personal hotspot function and provides a Wi-Fi network. Wherein, when the PC turns on the personal hotspot, the network connected to the uplink is the cellular mobile network or the WLAN network (ie, the Wi-Fi network provided by the router).

In another example, as shown in the interface 501 in FIG. 5 , after the PC detects the user's operation on the control 51 on the interface 501 , the PC enables the WLAN signal bridge function. And after detecting the operation on the control 52, the editing of the WLAN name and password corresponding to the current WLAN signal bridge by the user is received. In this way, the PC completes the setting of the WLAN signal bridge and provides a Wi-Fi network. Wherein, when the PC starts the signal bridge, the network connected to the uplink is the WLAN network.

As shown in FIG. 6 , in the above manner, the PC 200 acts as a personal hotspot or a WLAN signal bridge to expand the Wi-Fi network coverage of the router 100 . For example, if the mobile phone 300 moves in the direction of arrow 61 from position 62 to position 63, and the position 63 has exceeded the Wi-Fi network coverage provided by the router 100, the mobile phone 300 disconnects the connection with the router 100 and accesses the PC 200 in the relay network provided. However, when the PC 200 is used as a personal hotspot or a WLAN signal bridge, the device name and password are configured separately, which is different from the SSID of the router 100. During the switching process, abnormalities such as Wi-Fi network freezes may occur, affecting the user experience.

Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a Wi-Fi configuration method, using a PC as a relay point device, and unifying the SSIDs of the PC and the router, so that the PC becomes a configuration-free Wi-Fi hotspot. While improving Wi-Fi coverage, it saves costs and ensures that devices connected to Wi-Fi networks can provide users with non-aware roaming services.

First, the PC needs to connect to the Wi-Fi network provided by the router to establish a connection with the router. After that, you can configure the network of the PC to expand the Wi-Fi coverage of the router.

Exemplarily, FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of a Wi-Fi configuration method according to an embodiment of the present application. The PC uses the method shown in FIG. 7 to access the router. Referring to FIG. 7 , the method includes S701-S705.

S701, a session channel is established between the PC and the router.

In some embodiments, the PC and the router establish an 802.11 session based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard. The hotspot function is enabled on the upstream Wi-Fi network. And pairing with the router based on the session channel allows the configuration of the PC network. The process of 802.11 session connection includes a scanning process, an authentication process and an association process.

Exemplarily, first, the PC needs to determine the service set identifier (service set identifier, SSID) and authentication method of the Wi-Fi network to be accessed. The authentication method has been pre-configured in the router. During the authentication process, the PC can complete the authentication process by exchanging identity authentication frames with the router. The PC can obtain the SSID during the scanning process, and the scanning process is divided into passive scanning process and active scanning process. For example, in the passive scanning process, the PC monitors the beacon (Beacon) frames sent by the routers near the PC according to the preset period, and obtains the SSID carried in the Beacon frame. For another example, the PC sends a probe request (probe request) management frame to the router, and then obtains the SSID after receiving the probe response (probe response) management frame sent by the router. Subsequently, the authentication process and the association process are completed based on the SSID.

Among them, the SSID is the unique identity document (ID) of the router, which is used to distinguish different networks. The router provides different SSIDs to distinguish different networks (such as 2.4GHz network, 5GHz network, employee access network, guest access network, etc.), and the PC can access the corresponding network after obtaining the SSID. Further, a router connected to a wired network (which can also be described as an AP device) and at least one device connected to the router through a wireless network form a group, which is called a basic service set. BSS). Devices in the same BSS are set with the same identification number, and the identification number is BSSID. One or more BSSs form an extended service set (ESS), thereby extending the coverage of the Wi-Fi network. Generally, the coverage areas of the Wi-Fi networks provided by the access point devices in the ESS partially overlap to realize seamless roaming of the client devices.

Exemplarily, the PC and the router can establish an 802.11 session channel through the following steps.

Step 1: The PC sends a probe request frame to the router. Correspondingly, the router receives the probe request frame sent by the PC, and sends the probe response frame to the PC.

In some embodiments, the scanning process in the 802.11 session connection process includes active scanning mode and passive scanning mode. Among them, the active scanning mode is that the PC actively sends a detection request message on each channel, so as to detect the information of the router. In passive scanning mode, the PC monitors the Beacon frames periodically sent by the router to obtain information about the router. In the current step, the active scanning mode is taken as an example for description. Through the interaction between the PC and the router through the probe request (probe request) frame and the probe response (probe response) frame, the PC determines the SSID to be accessed.

It should be noted that, in the interaction process of the current probe frame, the SSID used for establishing the 802.11 session is determined, and it only needs to be able to access the Wi-Fi network. Compared with the connection process of the parent and child routers shown in FIG. 3 , when the child router is powered on, it sends a probe frame carrying connection information to the parent router for network configuration with the parent router. The currently sent probe frame does not need to carry the parameters of the connection request, that is, the network can be configured without powering on. When the PC needs to configure the personal hotspot network according to the user's needs, it can request the network configuration to realize the network configuration on demand and improve the user experience.

Step 2: The PC sends an identity authentication request frame to the router. Correspondingly, the router receives the identity authentication request frame sent by the PC, and sends the identity authentication response frame to the PC.

In some embodiments, if the authentication process requires a password, the PC receives the authentication password input by the user to complete the authentication process. For example, the PC pop-up window displays a password input interface, and receives the authentication password input by the user. If the authentication certificate has been preset in the PC, the authentication process does not require a password, and the authentication certificate is confirmed directly through the interaction of the identity authentication management frame to complete the authentication. For example, authentication methods such as transport layer security (TLS) in the extensible authentication protocol (EAP) are used for authentication to ensure network security.

Step 3: The PC sends an association request frame to the router. Correspondingly, the router receives the association request frame sent by the PC, and sends the association response frame to the PC.

In some embodiments, through the association process, an association relationship is established between the media access control (media access control, MAC) address of the PC and the router port, so that the router and the PC can correctly perform signal transmission.

In this way, through the above steps 1 to 3, the PC and the router complete the establishment of the 802.11 session channel, and the 802.11 session channel is a service channel, allowing the PC to access the router network. Subsequently, based on the established 802.11 session channel, the PC and the router request to establish a management channel connection according to user requirements, perform network configuration, and simplify the network configuration process.

S702, the PC detects the operation of turning on the hotspot.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 8 , the PC displays a personal hotspot setting interface 801 , and prompts the user to enable the personal hotspot function on the personal hotspot setting interface 801 . After detecting the user's operation of clicking on the control 81, the hotspot is turned on, and pairing with the router is started, and the PC is determined as a security device, and the Hilink connection is allowed to be established, that is, the management channel connection is established, and the subsequent network configuration can be automatically performed.

In some embodiments, two functional portals of the personal hotspot are preset in the PC, one is the functional portal of the personal hotspot shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 that needs to create an SSID for separate configuration; the other is the functional portal of the personal hotspot shown in FIG. 8 . The shown embodiment of the present application provides the function entry of the configuration-free personal hotspot. In step S702, the PC enables the configuration-free personal hotspot to pair with the router, so that the subsequent PC automatically synchronizes the network configuration with the router through the following steps, and the user does not need to configure the SSID of the PC separately.

In other embodiments, a function entry of a multiplexed personal hotspot is preset in the PC. In step S702, the PC first performs a process of synchronizing the network configuration with the router, and if the network configuration is successfully synchronized, the configuration-free personal hotspot function is enabled. If the network configuration synchronization fails, a separate SSID is created to receive personal hotspot configuration parameters such as the user name and password entered by the user.

S703, the PC sends an action request frame to the router, where the action request frame carries connection information.

The connection information includes connection request parameters, which are used to request the router to confirm its security, allow the subsequent PC to perform network configuration, and synchronize its SSID with the router SSID. The connection information may include the MAC address of the PC. After the router receives the connection information, it confirms that the MAC address is the MAC address in the preset whitelist, and then confirms the security and allows the PC to establish a Hilink connection with the router. Or, receive user confirmation, whether to allow Hilink connection to be established. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the connection information carried in the action request frame is described as a one key connection (one key connection, OKC) element, which will not be described in detail later.

Exemplarily, after obtaining the OKC element of the PC, the router determines that the PC requests to establish a Hilink connection with the router, which needs to be paired. Optionally, the OKC element is an element that can be recognized and processed by both the PC and the router. For example, the OKC element is a manufacturer-defined element. For another example, the OKC element is a specific element in the standard definition.

In some embodiments, the PC sends an action request frame to the router, and the OKC element is carried in the action request frame, which defines the value of the category code and the action code. The values of the classification code and opcode are used to indicate that the action request frame can be used to request a one-key connection pair.

In some embodiments, the Hilink OKC information element (information element, IE) carried in the IEEE 802.11 action request frame. The IE may be an independent IE that carries an element ID (element ID) allocated by the IEEE. IE can also be an extended definition of a vendor-private element. At this time, the Element ID is defined as 221, which is used to indicate that the IE is a vendor-private element.

Exemplarily, FIG. 9 shows a schematic diagram of a frame structure of an OKC information element unit. As shown in FIG. 9, the OKC information element unit includes: an element ID (element ID) field, a length (length) field, an organization identifier (organization identifier) field, and a vendor-specific content (vendor-specific content) field.

Among them, the organization identifier field includes an organizationally unique identifier (organizationally unique identifier, OUI) subfield, which occupies 3 bytes (bytes) and is used to indicate the manufacturer's identity. For example, as shown in FIG. 9 , the value of the OUI subfield is 00:E0:FC, which is used to indicate that the manufacturer is Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

The vendor specific content fields include a Hilink OKC subfield, a version subfield, and a value subfield. Among them, the Hilink OKC subfield occupies 4 bytes and is used to indicate the Hilink OKC element. The version subfield, occupying 2 bytes, is used to indicate the version number of IE. The value subfield consists of at least one set of parameters of the TLV encoded structure. Among them, the TLV coding structure includes a type (type), a length (length) and a value (value). Specifically, the parameters of the TLV coding structure are at least used to indicate a target MAC (target MAC) and/or a logo (logo).

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 10 , a parameter indicating the TLV coding structure of the target MAC is exemplarily given, including the target MAC (target MAC) subfield, the length (length) subfield, and the target MAC address (target MAC address). MAC address) subfield. Among them, the target MAC address subfield occupies 1 bytes, and the value is 251, which is used to indicate the MAC address. The length subfield occupies 1bytes and the value is 6.

Among them, the value of the target MAC address can be carried in the probe request management frame or the action request management frame, and the value is the BSSID. After the PC determines the router, it can carry the router's BSSID in the probe request frame or the action request frame. Alternatively, after receiving the action request management frame, the router sends an action response management frame to the PC. Correspondingly, the router carries the BSSID of the selected PC in the probe request management frame or the action request management frame. It should be noted that before the router does not select the PC, the value corresponding to the target MAC address is the BSSID of the router itself.

Further, the value of target MAC address can be BSSID. If the PC carries the BSSID in the probe request management frame or the action request management frame, it means that the PC determines that the router corresponding to the BSSID is connected. If the router carries the BSSID in the probe response management frame or the action response management frame, it means that the router is a Hilink router. The value of target MAC address can also be the MAC address of the station (station, STA) device. If the router carries the STA MAC address in the probe response management frame or action response management frame, it means that the router has selected the PC corresponding to the STA MAC address as the target PC for the connection.

Exemplarily, an example of an action request management frame message is shown as follows.

In the above action request management frame message, the category code (Category code) and the operation code (Action code) are used to indicate that the current message is used for the requested operation, such as requesting a pairing connection.

It should be noted that the values of Category code and Action code need to be jointly allocated by IEEE and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Therefore, in the above message example, Category Code and Action Code To be determind (TBD) state. Likewise, the classification code and operation code of the TBD state will not be described below.

S704, the router determines to establish a connection with the PC.

In some embodiments, after receiving the action request frame carrying the one-key connection information element sent by the PC, the router pairs with the PC in a preset manner to establish a Hilink connection. That is, according to the OKC element, the router determines that it is allowed to establish a management connection channel with the PC and allows network configuration.

The preset method includes, for example, presetting a whitelist of pairable MAC addresses in the router. After confirming that the MAC address of the PC is the MAC address on the whitelist, the pairing can be performed automatically. Alternatively, the preset manner includes, for example, prompting the user to confirm whether to perform pairing. For example, the indicator light of the router flashes in mode 1 to prompt the user to confirm pairing. After that, if the router detects that the user clicks the hi button, it confirms that the user has confirmed the pairing and the connection can be established. For another example, the router sends a notification requesting confirmation to the terminal device where the Hilink APP that manages the router is located (for example, the smart phone of the router administrator), and the user confirms it. Exemplarily, as shown in the interface 1101 in FIG. 11 , after the terminal device where the Hilink APP that manages the router is located receives the notification sent by the router for requesting confirmation, a prompt box is displayed to prompt the user to confirm the pairing. After the terminal device where the Hilink APP that manages the router is located detects that the user clicks on the control 111, it sends a confirmation notification to the router. After receiving the confirmation notification, the router determines to pair with the PC.

Further, in the above preset manner, if a whitelist is preset in the router, automatic pairing can be realized. If the whitelist is not configured, the aging time needs to be preset. After receiving the action request frame, the router starts the timer. If the user's confirmation operation is not received within the preset aging time, the pairing fails. If the user's confirmation operation is received within the preset aging time, the pairing is successful.

S705, the router sends an action response frame to the PC.

In some embodiments, after the router determines that it is allowed to pair with the PC and establish a connection, it sends an action response (action response) management frame to the PC, and the OKC information element is carried in the action response management frame. The structure of the OKC information element can be parameterized with the relevant description of the OKC information element in the foregoing step S704, which will not be repeated here.

In some embodiments, the indicator light of the router lights up in the manner of Mode 2 to prompt the user that the current one-key connection is successfully paired. And/or, the router sends a notification of successful pairing to the terminal device where the Hilink APP that manages the router is located, to prompt the user that the pairing is successful with one-click connection. Exemplarily, as shown in the interface 1201 in FIG. 12 , a prompt box 121 is displayed, prompting the user that the one-key connection is successfully paired, and the PC has established a connection with the router. Correspondingly, after receiving the action response management frame, the PC records in the local log the notification information of the successful pairing of the one-key connection and/or the interface presents the successful pairing.

Exemplarily, an example of an action response management frame message is shown below.

In the above action response management frame message, the category code (Category code) and the operation code (Action code) are used to indicate the operation that the current message is used to perform, such as performing a pairing connection. In addition, the values of Category code and Action code can be confirmed according to actual needs, that is, TBD status.

In this way, based on the 802.11 session channel established in step S701, the PC extends the action request management frame of the 802.11 protocol and the Hilink pairing information and confirmation information transmitted by the action response management frame, and executes the pairing process with the router to achieve fast pairing. Simplify the pairing process while maintaining a secure connection.

Further, the PC can realize on-demand pairing through the steps shown in FIG. 7, and when the Wi-Fi coverage needs to be expanded, the PC hotspot can be quickly turned on to perform pairing. Specifically, after the PC enables the hotspot, based on the 802.11 session channel, the router determines the PC as a security device through a whitelist or through user confirmation, and completes the PC security access process, that is, the pairing process. After that, the PC can perform network synchronization configuration based on Hilink connection.

In some embodiments, after the PC is connected to the router and the hotspot is turned on, the Wi-Fi configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be used to realize automatic network configuration. The PC configures the hotspot network provided by the router synchronously with the network provided by the router, so as to provide users with a non-perceptual roaming service.

Specifically, synchronize the network configuration of the Wi-Fi network provided by the PC with the Wi-Fi network provided by the router, and create a Wi-Fi network with the same SSID as the router, thereby ensuring that terminal devices such as mobile phones can achieve non-aware roaming. Further, the content of the configuration synchronization includes, for example, SSID and password information.

Wherein, the synchronization protocols include, for example, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (control and provisioning of wireless access) points protocol, CAPWAP), etc.

Exemplarily, the embodiments of the present application take the network synchronization configuration based on the UPnP protocol as an example for description. Among them, the network configuration process specified by the UPnP protocol includes device addressing, device discovery, device description, device control, event notification, and a description interface based on hypertext markup language (html). Among them, the device includes, for example, a PC.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13 , the network configuration process of the PC to the personal hotspot can be specifically implemented as the following steps S1301 to S1304 .

S1301, the PC detects a gateway that supports network configuration.

In some embodiments, the PC broadcast message is used to detect a gateway device, such as a Hilink gateway, that supports the network configuration function in the currently connected Zhilian network, and then use the gateway device to configure the network of the PC. For example, if the router currently connected to the PC supports the network configuration function, the PC starts the network configuration process after detecting the router. For another example, if the router currently connected to the PC does not support the network configuration function, the PC determines other devices with the network configuration function in the Zhilian network through broadcast messages, and the PC uses this device to synchronize the network configuration with the router. The following description takes the router connected to the PC as an example of a gateway device that supports the network distribution function.

In some embodiments, if the PC establishes a connection with the network provided by the router for the first time, it needs to obtain the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the router by using the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP). For example, a PC sends an M-search request message to detect a router that supports Hilink. Correspondingly, after receiving the M-search request message, the Hilink router replies with the M-seach response message to complete the detection process.

Exemplarily, it is assumed that the target IP address of the Hilink gateway (which can also be described as a root device) detected by the PC is urn:www-huawei-com:service:NetworkSyncService:1. And, the address of the description file to obtain the Hilink gateway is http://192.168.1.1:37215/upnpdev.xml.

An example of an M-seach request message is as follows:

M-SEARCH*HTTP/1.1

HOST:239.255.255.250:1900

MAN:"ssdp:discover"

MX:4

ST:urn:www-huawei-com:service:NetworkSyncService:1

An example of the M-seach response message is as follows:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

DATE: Tue, 05 May 2015 12:07:38 GMT

S1302, PC goes online.

In some embodiments, after the PC accesses the network and obtains the IP address of the router, it goes online, that is, informs the router that the current PC has joined the management domain (that is, the Layer 2 roaming domain) of the router (that is, the Hilink gateway), and is active (alive) status, the network configuration can be performed. Specifically, the PC uses the IP address of the router to send its alive status to the router to notify the router that the PC is online and the network is to be configured.

In some embodiments, the PC sends a UPnP alive online message to the router to inform the router that the current PC is online. corresponding. After receiving the UPnP alive online message, the router confirms that the PC is online, and establishes a hypertext transfer protocol over secure socket sayer (HTTPS) management session for subscribing to the network synchronization service. The synchronization service includes, for example, NetworkSyncService:1.

Exemplarily, the PC notifies the router that the PC is online based on the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (simple service discovery protocol, SSDP) in the UPnP protocol. An example of a UPnP alive online message is shown below.

In the above UPnP alive online message, the "NTS:ssdp:alive" field is used to indicate the current application of the UPnP alive protocol message. The time-to-live (max-age) in the Cache-Control field is used to indicate the aging-out time of the PC. After the one-click connection is successfully established, the PC can continue to send UPnP alive online packets for renewal and keep alive before the HTTPS management session expires.

S1303, the router obtains the Wi-Fi module information of the PC.

The router obtains the Wi-Fi module information of the PC, which is used to configure the Wi-Fi hotspot network of the PC. For example, the Wi-Fi module information includes one or more of the following: SSID of the PC access router (such as WLC Index For Cover), WLAN network information (network Info), and device information (device info).

Exemplarily, the router sends an acquisition information packet to the PC, which is used to acquire Wi-Fi module information of the PC. An example of a message for acquiring Wi-Fi module information is shown as follows.

Among them, in the above message for obtaining Wi-Fi module information, Hilink Gateway uses the GetWLCIndexForCover field as a query interface to query the current Wi-Fi configuration information of the PC. For example, NewSSID is used to query the SSID accessed by the PC; NewRFBand is used to query the radio frequency band corresponding to the SSID; NewQueryType is used to query the type.

Correspondingly, after receiving the message for obtaining the Wi-Fi module information sent by the router, the PC sends a response message based on the HTTPS management session for replying to the device information.

Exemplarily, an example of a response message of a PC is shown as follows.

S1304, the router performs network configuration on the PC.

In some embodiments, after acquiring the Wi-Fi module information of the PC, the router can determine the WLAN configuration of the PC based on a locally preset configuration policy, and start to perform synchronization configuration. The WLAN synchronization configuration includes the configuration of WLAN related parameters and the configuration of other network connection related parameters. For example, it includes the black and white list configuration of the MAC address of the terminal device. The locally preset configuration policy includes, for example, a network configuration template and an import policy preconfigured in the router.

For example, the router obtains the Wi-Fi module information of the PC including information 1 and information 2, and after matching with the pre-configured network configuration template, determines that the network configuration template 1 matches the information 1 and the information 2. Network configuration template 1 satisfies the requirements of Information 1 and Information 2, and includes complete network configuration information. The router pushes the network configuration template 1 to the PC, and the PC uses the network configuration template 1 to configure all network information.

For another example, the router determines the manufacturer or model of the PC according to the PC device information, and matches the corresponding network configuration template. For example, the manufacturer of PC1 is manufacturer A, and the manufacturer of PC2 is manufacturer B. The router pushes the network configuration template A to PC1 and the network configuration template B to PC2 according to the manufacturer type. After receiving the network configuration template, PC1 and PC2 automatically complete the network configuration synchronization, that is, the router completes the network configuration of the PC.

Exemplarily, the router's configuration process to the PC includes, for example, sending a start (start) message to the PC, a set WLAN basic configuration (SetWlanBaseConfiguration) message, a set WLAN advanced configuration (SetWlanAdvancedConfiguration) message, and a commit (commit) message. Multiple configuration packets are included between a set of start packets and commit packets, wherein the configuration packets include SetWlanBaseConfiguration packets and SetWlanAdvancedConfiguration packets. After the PC receives the commit message, it starts to configure WLAN parameters based on all the received configuration messages.

The SetWlanBaseConfiguration packet is used to set the basic parameters of the SSID when the WLAN module of the PC is used as a hotspot, for example, including the 802.11 protocol working mode, authentication mode, encryption mode, encryption algorithm, and access password of the hotspot. The SetWlanAdvancedConfiguration message is used to set the advanced parameters of the SSID when the WLAN module of the PC is used as a hotspot, such as the maximum number of users allowed to access, whether to enable automatic channel selection, specify the working channel, transmit power level, country code, whether to enable SSID Layer 2 broadcast, whether to enable Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM), etc. It should be noted that the SSID of the PC is set to be the same as the SSID of the router connected to the PC.

Therefore, the Wi-Fi configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present application can automatically synchronize the Wi-Fi information configuration with the router after the PC is connected to the router, so as to provide the user with a PC hotspot without configuration. In addition, the PC and the router use the same SSID as a device in the Layer 2 roaming domain of the router to ensure that the terminal device can seamlessly roam between the router and the PC after accessing the Wi-Fi network.

Exemplarily, an example of a start message is shown as follows.

The "ⅴ<u:Start" field in the above start message is used to identify the start of synchronization configuration.

Exemplarily, an example of a SetWlanBaseConfiguration message is shown below for configuring the parameters of the SetWlanBaseConfiguration interface.

Exemplarily, an example of a SetWlanAdvancedConfiguration message is shown below, which is used to configure the parameters of the SetWlanAdvancedConfiguration interface.

Illustratively, an example of a commit message is shown as follows.

In the above commit message, the NewNetworkSyncCode field is used to indicate the network configuration synchronization sequence number of the current commit message. After the PC receives the commit message, it needs to confirm that the synchronization sequence number of the network configuration is incremented to prevent repeated configurations caused by attacks or network retransmissions.

It should be noted that, in the above step S1304, the process of the router performing the network configuration on the PC may be the first network configuration synchronization process after the PC accesses the router. Alternatively, in the subsequent connection process, when the configuration parameters of the router are modified, the above steps may also be used to synchronize the WLAN parameters between the PC and the router again.

It should be noted that, as a non-Internet of things (IoT) device, a PC uses a real-time transmission protocol to synchronously send data. Therefore, in order to ensure security, the PC prohibits the AP from upgrading the PC's Wi-Fi module, and the PC does not allow the AP to use the parameter synchronization protocol channel to upgrade the PC's Wi-Fi module firmware. Correspondingly, in the capability negotiation phase of the CoAP protocol or the UPnP protocol, the PC declares that the firmware upgrade is not supported. In addition, the PC prohibits the AP from querying or setting the administrator user account and key information of the Wi-Fi module of the PC.

In some scenarios, after the PC completes the network configuration, it can turn on the configuration-free PC hotspot and use itself as a soft AP device to expand the Wi-Fi coverage area and improve the Wi-Fi coverage effect. After the terminal device is connected or disconnected from the PC hotspot, the PC hotspot needs to report the access status of the terminal device to the router, so that the router can manage the Wi-Fi network.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 14 , after step S1304 , the flow of the Wi-Fi configuration method provided by this embodiment of the present application further includes step S1401 and step S1402 .

S1401, the PC is connected to the terminal device.

S1402, the PC reports the access situation of the terminal device to the router.

In some embodiments, when the PC determines that a terminal device (which may also be described as a station device) is connected or offline in the configuration-free hotspot, the PC sends a UPnP active notification (notify active) message to the router. Among them, the UPnP notify active message carries the MAC identifier of the terminal device and the access or offline information, such as WLCAssociatedStat.

It should be noted that the PC is the soft AP device that provides the Wi-Fi network. Therefore, devices with the same MAC as the PC should be restricted from accessing the Wi-Fi network provided by the PC. That is to say, in the process of expanding the Wi-Fi network by the PC, the PC, as a STA device, cannot access the hotspot provided by itself.

In some scenarios, the PC can turn on or turn off the hotspot according to the actual situation. If the PC needs to turn off the hotspot, it needs to notify the router of its shutdown, and guide the terminal device connected to it to connect to the router. Furthermore, the personalized use requirements of users are met, and the user experience is improved.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 15 , after step S1402 , the flow of the Wi-Fi configuration method provided by this embodiment of the present application further includes step S1501 .

S 1501. The PC informs the router that the personal hotspot needs to be turned off, and guides the terminal device to connect to the router, then turn off the personal hotspot.

In some embodiments, after the PC receives the user's instruction to turn off the configuration-free hotspot, the PC guides the terminal device that has accessed the hotspot to switch to the router, and actively sends a UPnP byebye message to the router. After that, the PC turns off the personal hotspot function and clears the related WLAN configuration.

Exemplarily, an example of a byebye message is shown as follows.

NOTIFY*HTTP/1.1

NT:urn:www-huawei-com:service:NetworkSyncService:1

In some embodiments, after the PC turns on the hotspot and configures the network through the above Wi-Fi configuration method, it maintains the Wi-Fi connection with the AP device while providing the Wi-Fi network without awareness roaming for other terminal devices. It will affect its own Internet function. Further, after the PC turns off the hotspot, it will maintain the Wi-Fi connection with the AP device, which will not affect its own surfing function.

In some scenarios, after connecting to the Wi-Fi network provided by the router, the terminal device uses Beacon frames to compare the connected Wi-Fi network signal with the Wi-Fi network signal provided by nearby STAs. In this way, when the Wi-Fi network signal becomes poor, the STA with better Wi-Fi network signal can be accessed.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 16 , during the process of using the Wi-Fi network, the mobile phone searches for a STA Wi-Fi network with a better signal, then displays the interface 1601, and displays a notification prompt in the pull-down notification bar 161 to prompt the user. You can connect to a better Wi-Fi network for a better online experience. After detecting that the user clicks on the control 162, the mobile phone starts the roaming process, switches the Wi-Fi network, and accesses the Wi-Fi network with a better signal provided by the PC.

Further, the terminal device can also switch automatically after searching for a Wi-Fi network with a better signal than the current Wi-Fi network, and perform Wi-Fi network roaming without the user's perception.
