Likewise, the terms "S41", "S22", and the like are used to distinguish steps and are not necessarily to be construed as performing method steps in a particular order or sequence.

Before introducing the method, the apparatus, and the storage medium for controlling a wireless network hotspot provided by the present disclosure, an application scenario of the present disclosure is first introduced. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation environment of a method for controlling a hotspot of a wireless network according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the system comprises an internet 101, a terminal device 102, a vehicle key 103 and a vehicle 104.

Wherein the terminal device 102 may be connected to the internet through a network, for example, the terminal device 102 may be installed with a SIM card that may provide at least one of a 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G network, so that the terminal device 102 may be connected to the internet through the network. The vehicle 104 includes a vehicle unlocking system, which optionally may include a bluetooth low energy module that is default to an on state (including when the vehicle is turned off) such that the vehicle may broadcast and scan via the bluetooth low energy module to receive an unlocking command or a locking command of the vehicle key, etc. when a bluetooth connection is established with the vehicle key having a bluetooth function. Optionally, the vehicle unlocking system may include a Near Field Communication (NFC) module, which enables the vehicle to receive an unlocking instruction or a locking instruction of the vehicle key when the vehicle key with the NFC function enters a Communication range. Accordingly, the vehicle key 103 is provided with at least one of a bluetooth function and a near field communication function. The vehicle also includes a vehicle networking system that may provide functions such as navigation updates, music downloads, etc., based on a hotspot connection with the terminal device.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a wireless network hotspot. Taking the method as an example that the method can be applied to a smart phone, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a wireless network hotspot according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps.

In step S21, in response to the vehicle key successfully unlocking the vehicle, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is turned on.

In step S22, when a hotspot connection request initiated by the vehicle is received, a hotspot connection is established with the vehicle according to the hotspot connection request.

In an implementation, the vehicle key may be an independent wireless vehicle key, for example, a wireless vehicle key with a bluetooth low energy function, or a wireless vehicle key with a near field communication function, for example, a wireless vehicle key with an Embedded secure element (eSE) built therein. The vehicle key may also be a function carried by the terminal device. For example, a vehicle key is arranged in the terminal device, the vehicle key has a Bluetooth function, when a user carries the terminal device to approach a vehicle, the terminal device enters a Bluetooth signal coverage range to detect the internet of vehicles system, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE for short) broadcast can be found, and then a Bluetooth connection authentication and unlocking process can be completed according to conditions, and usually, the user does not enter the vehicle or the vehicle is not started. Or the terminal device can send an unlocking instruction or a vehicle locking instruction to the server through the application program and then through the application program, and the server unlocks the vehicle and the like.

Optionally, the vehicle networking system of the vehicle is turned off by default in an unopened state, such as when the vehicle is not started, and when the vehicle is started (ignited), the vehicle networking system is automatically turned on, and then the vehicle networking system can initiate a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) connection; or the vehicle networking system is connected with the vehicle and is powered on normally, the default vehicle networking system is always on, and the vehicle networking system always initiates the WLAN attempt connection.

For example, taking the vehicle key in communication connection with the vehicle unlocking system through bluetooth as an example, when a user carries the vehicle key and the terminal device to approach the vehicle, the vehicle key can be within a bluetooth signal coverage range of the vehicle unlocking system (for example, a vehicle body control module) of the vehicle, receive bluetooth low energy broadcast information sent by the vehicle unlocking system, that is, the vehicle key BLE can be within the bluetooth signal coverage range of the vehicle unlocking system, detect the vehicle unlocking system, and complete the unlocking operation of the vehicle according to conditions.

For example, taking the vehicle key in communication connection with the vehicle unlocking system through NFC as an example, when the user carries the vehicle key and the terminal device approaches the vehicle, the user may use the NFC function on the vehicle key to complete NFC information interaction and authentication unlocking processes in a door-swiping manner.

Further, when the user performs an operation of unlocking the vehicle through the vehicle key, the vehicle key sends information of successful unlocking of the vehicle to the terminal device, and the terminal device starts a wireless network hotspot of the terminal device after receiving the information of successful unlocking. And further, under the condition that a hotspot connection request initiated by the vehicle networking system of the vehicle is received, establishing hotspot connection with the vehicle networking system of the vehicle according to the hotspot connection request.

For another example, taking the case that the vehicle key is embedded in the terminal device and the terminal device supports near field communication, when the user carries the terminal device to approach the vehicle, the terminal device can unlock the vehicle under the near field communication function, and when the user performs an operation of unlocking the vehicle through the terminal device, the terminal device can open the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device after the vehicle is successfully unlocked. And further, under the condition that a hotspot connection request initiated by the vehicle networking system of the vehicle is received, establishing hotspot connection with the vehicle networking system of the vehicle according to the hotspot connection request.

In a possible implementation manner, when the vehicle is in a flameout state or in a non-flameout state and the user carries the terminal device away from the vehicle, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is closed under the condition that the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is in a no-connection state within a preset time period. For example, when a user carries a terminal device away from a vehicle, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is disconnected from the vehicle networking system hotspot of the vehicle, and the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is closed under the condition that the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is in a no-connection state within a preset 2-minute time period. Therefore, the phenomenon that the wireless hotspot is always in a connectionless state to cause extra power consumption of the terminal equipment can be avoided.

In one possible implementation, the internet of vehicle system is in a closed state when the vehicle is not in an open state, for example, when the vehicle is not in an ignition state, but the terminal device has opened the wireless network hotspot in response to the vehicle key successfully unlocking the vehicle. When the vehicle is ignited and started, the Internet of vehicles system is automatically started, the Internet of vehicles system initiates a hotspot connection request, and then the terminal equipment can establish hotspot connection with the Internet of vehicles system of the vehicle according to the hotspot connection request.

In another possible implementation manner, even if the vehicle is in a flameout state, the vehicle networking system is started all the time by default, the vehicle networking system starts a hotspot connection request all the time by default, and when the terminal device successfully unlocks the vehicle in response to the vehicle key and already starts a wireless network hotspot, the terminal device can establish hotspot connection with the vehicle networking system of the vehicle according to the hotspot connection request.

According to the technical scheme, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is started by responding to the successful unlocking of the vehicle key, and then the hotspot connection is established with the vehicle according to the hotspot connection request under the condition of receiving the hotspot connection request initiated by the vehicle. Therefore, when the user unlocks the vehicle by using the vehicle key at every time, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device can be automatically opened, and then the vehicle networking system of the vehicle can be used based on the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device, so that the situation that the user enters the vehicle at every time and manually opens the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is avoided, and convenience in establishing hotspot connection between the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device and the vehicle networking system is improved.

Optionally, refer to the flowchart shown in fig. 3 for implementing step S21 in fig. 1. In step S21, the turning on the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device in response to the successful unlocking of the vehicle by the vehicle key includes the following steps:

in step S211, in response to a successful unlocking of a vehicle by a vehicle key, determining whether an internet of vehicles system of the vehicle is in a hotspot connection state;

in step S212, if it is determined that the vehicle networking system is not in the hotspot connection state, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is turned on.

It can be stated that, in the case that the vehicle networking system of the vehicle establishes a hotspot connection with the device, the vehicle networking system will not initiate the WLAN scan, and thus, it may be determined whether the WLAN scan initiated by the vehicle networking system is received in response to the vehicle key successfully unlocking the vehicle, and if the scan is not received, it is determined that the vehicle networking system has established a hotspot connection with another device. And if the scanning is received, determining that the hot spot connection is established between the Internet of vehicles and other equipment.

In a possible implementation manner, in response to that the vehicle key successfully unlocks the vehicle, whether a wireless network hotspot of other equipment exists around the vehicle can be scanned, and if the wireless network hotspot of other equipment is not scanned, it can be determined that the vehicle networking system of the vehicle is not in a hotspot connection state.

Optionally, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is not started in a case that it is determined that the vehicle networking system of the vehicle has established a network hotspot with other devices.

By adopting the technical scheme, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment is not started under the condition that the network hotspot is established between the vehicle networking system of the vehicle and other equipment, because the hotspot connection cannot be successfully established between the terminal equipment and the vehicle even if the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment is started, the extra power consumption of the terminal equipment is increased, and the cruising ability of the terminal equipment is poor. The method and the device have the advantages that the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is started under the condition that the network hotspot is not established between the vehicle networking system of the vehicle and other devices, and convenience in establishing hotspot connection between the terminal device and the vehicle by a user can be improved.

Optionally, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating another method for controlling a wireless network hotspot according to an exemplary embodiment, where as shown in fig. 4, the method further includes the following steps:

in step S41, in response to the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device being started, a timer is started.

In step S42, when the time count reaches a preset time, it is determined whether the terminal device and the vehicle networking system of the vehicle have established a hotspot connection.

In step S43, in a case where it is determined that the terminal device does not establish a hotspot connection with the vehicle network system, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is closed.

Illustratively, when a wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is started, timing is started, whether name information of the vehicle networking system of the vehicle exists in a wireless network hotspot connection list of the terminal device is checked under the condition that the timing reaches a preset time duration of 1 minute, if the name information of the vehicle networking system of the vehicle does not exist in the wireless network hotspot connection list of the terminal device, it is determined that no hotspot connection is established between the terminal device and the vehicle networking system, and then the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is closed; if the name information of the vehicle networking system of the vehicle exists in the wireless network hotspot connection list of the terminal device, determining that the hotspot connection between the terminal device and the vehicle networking system is established, and further keeping the opening state of the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device.

In a possible implementation manner, a wireless network hotspot connection address of the vehicle may be set on the terminal device, and when the terminal device has established hotspot connection, a connection address of the device having established hotspot connection is obtained, and then the connection address of the device is compared with the wireless network hotspot connection address of the vehicle, and if the connection address of the device is not consistent with the wireless network hotspot connection address of the vehicle, it is determined that the terminal device has established hotspot connection with other devices, and does not establish hotspot connection with the vehicle networking system of the vehicle. And further closing the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment. Therefore, the phenomenon that the extra power consumption of the terminal equipment is increased by a wireless network hotspot of illegal equipment connected with the terminal equipment, and the endurance of the terminal equipment is poor can be prevented. And, prevent that illegal equipment from stealing the information of terminal equipment through the wireless network hotspot. The safety of the terminal equipment information is improved.

By adopting the technical scheme, after the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment is started, if the hotspot connection between the terminal equipment and the vehicle network system is not established within the preset time, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment is closed, so that the phenomenon that the extra power consumption of the terminal equipment is increased due to the fact that the wireless network hotspot is not used can be avoided, and the cruising ability of the terminal equipment is poor.

Optionally, the vehicle key is a wireless vehicle key built in the terminal device.

The terminal device is in communication connection with a vehicle unlocking system of a vehicle, and when a user successfully unlocks the vehicle by using a vehicle key, the terminal device starts a wireless network hotspot of the terminal device when receiving an unlocking success instruction sent by the vehicle unlocking system.

By adopting the technical scheme, when the user unlocks the vehicle by using the vehicle key, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is started, and the user does not need to enter the vehicle and then manually starts the wireless network hotspot of the intelligent device, so that the convenience of establishing hotspot connection between the terminal device and a vehicle network system by using the user is improved.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

sending the name information and the password information of the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device to the vehicle networking system of the vehicle;

the hotspot connection request is sent by the vehicle networking system according to the name information and the password information.

In specific implementation, in response to the successful unlocking of the vehicle by the vehicle key, the name information and the password information of the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device are sent to the vehicle through the vehicle key, and the vehicle networking system of the vehicle can acquire the name information and the password information of the wireless network hotspot, and further can scan the terminal device based on the name information of the wireless network hotspot and send a hotspot connection request after scanning the terminal device, wherein the hotspot connection request comprises the password information of the wireless network hotspot. The terminal equipment verifies the password information carried in the hotspot connection request under the condition of receiving the hotspot connection request, and if the password information is successfully verified, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment is opened. And if the password information is not successfully verified, not opening the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment.

By adopting the technical scheme, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal equipment can be started under the condition that the password information is successfully verified, and the convenience of establishing hotspot connection between the terminal equipment and a vehicle network system by a user is improved. Under the condition that the password information is not successfully verified, the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is not started, and even if the wireless network hotspot of the terminal device is started, the vehicle network system cannot establish hotspot connection with the terminal device, so that the extra power consumption of the terminal device is increased, and the cruising ability of the terminal device is poor.
