1. wireless network security settings

Wireless network security protected setup (WPS) is a WiFi security setup standard promulgated by the WiFi alliance, and is used to simplify security setup and network management for WiFi. There are two main implementations of WPS: a Personal Identification Number (PIN) mode, and a Push Button Configuration (PBC) mode. The terminal equipment with the WIFI connection function can be connected with the router in one of the modes to achieve wireless communication.

2. PBC mode

The PBC mode may refer to a mode in which the terminal device and the router realize that the terminal device automatically accesses the WiFi network based on the WPS. For example, a user presses a WPS PBC button of a router to start a WPS PBC flow, a WPS indicator lamp on the router flashes to indicate that the router can communicate with a terminal device based on PBC, and meanwhile, the user opens a PBC function of the terminal device to start the WPS PBC flow, so that the terminal device can also communicate with the router based on PBC, and the terminal device can automatically and safely access a WiFi network through the router. It is to be understood that, for convenience of description, in the following embodiments, the WPS PBC flow is simply referred to as a PBC flow.

By way of example and not limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may also be a wearable device. Wearable equipment can also be called wearable intelligent equipment, is the general term of applying wearable technique to carry out intelligent design, develop the equipment that can dress to daily wearing, like glasses, gloves, wrist-watch, dress and shoes etc.. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the clothing or accessories of the user.

For example, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario in some implementations, and the application scenario may include a terminal device 101 (for example, a mobile phone in fig. 1) and a router 102.

As shown in fig. 1, when the terminal device 101 and the router 102 are connected for the first time or the password set on the router 102 is changed, when the terminal device 101 and the router 102 establish a connection, the interface shown in fig. 1 is displayed on the display interface of the terminal device, and the user needs to input the password on the interface, so that the terminal device can access the WiFi network through the router 102.

In possible implementation, the user can also access the WiFi network without inputting a password by means of terminal equipment scanning a WiFi two-dimensional code or Near Field Communication (NFC), or the like. The terminal equipment accesses the network by scanning the WiFi two-dimensional code, wherein the WiFi two-dimensional code comprises SSID (service set identifier) and password information for connecting the WiFi network, and the terminal equipment can acquire the information in the process of scanning the two-dimensional code; for the NFC mode, in the process of NFC communication between the terminal device and the router, the terminal device may obtain an SSID and a password for connecting to a WiFi network. However, for a user who cannot know the above method, the above method is not simple and convenient enough, and the terminal device can transmit the password by scanning the two-dimensional code or accessing the WiFi network through NFC, so that the security is low.

In possible implementation, an association relationship between the terminal device and the router may be pre-established, the association relationship may be stored in the cloud platform, and when the router acquires the association relationship on the cloud platform, the router may allow the terminal device to access the WiFi network. However, the association relationship established in advance may have a security problem, and the above manner occupies a large resource, and an application scenario is limited, and a terminal device that does not establish an association relationship with a router in advance cannot access a WiFi network through the above manner.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a WiFi network access method, where a message for prompting a user whether to access a WiFi network is popped up on a display screen of a terminal device when a distance between the terminal device and a router is smaller than a preset value, or the terminal device approaches the router, and when the user agrees to access the WiFi network, the terminal device and the router may simulate a PBC manner to implement WiFi network access of the terminal device, and when implementing WiFi network access of the terminal device in the PBC manner, an account and a password of the WiFi network do not need to be transferred between the terminal device and the router, so that security is improved, an association between the terminal device and the router does not need to be established in advance, and an application scenario is flexible. Like this, terminal equipment can realize that a key inserts the wiFi network, can improve convenient degree, security and the flexibility that terminal equipment inserted the wiFi network, promotes user's use and experiences.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a router according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 4, the router 400 includes: memory 401, processor 402, interface 403, console port 404, auxiliary port 405, and power module 406.

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the embodiment of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation to the router 400. In other embodiments of the present application, router 400 may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or a different arrangement of components. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

In some embodiments of the present application, the memory 401 may be a non-volatile memory, a random access memory, a flash memory, and a read only memory, where the random access memory discards information when the router is started or during a power supply interval, the read only memory stores startup software of the router, the startup software is first software run by the router and is responsible for entering a normal operating state of the router, the router stores a complete operating system as a backup in the random access memory so as to be used as a backup when the operating system is not used, and the read only memory is usually disposed on one or more chips and soldered on a motherboard of the router. The main purpose of the flash memory is to store the operating system of the router 400, maintain the normal operation of the router, and if the router is installed with the flash memory, mainly boot the default location of the operating system of the router, so long as the capacity of the flash memory is sufficient, multiple operating system images can be saved to provide multiple boot options. The main purpose of the non-volatile memory is to store configuration data (boot configuration) that is read in when the operating system boots. The random access memory is mainly used as an operating system table and a buffer storage area, and the operating system can meet all conventional storage requirements through the random access memory so that the router can quickly access the information, wherein the storage speed of the random access memory is superior to the three types mentioned above.

The processor 402 may include one or more processing units, for example, processing modules or processing circuits that may include a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Microprocessor (MCU), an Artificial Intelligence (AI) processor, or a programmable logic device (FPGA), among others. Wherein, the different processing units may be independent devices or may be integrated in one or more processors. A memory unit may be provided in the processor 402 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory location in processor 402 is a cache memory.

The interfaces 403 of the router 400 all have their own names and numbers, and the full name of an interface is composed of the type identifier and the number of the interface, and the number starts from 0, and for a router with a fixed interface or a router with a modular interface, only one number is used in the full name of the interface and the numbering is performed according to the physical sequence of the number in the router, for example, ethernet0 represents the 1 st Ethernet interface, and Serial1 represents the 2 nd Serial port. For a router supporting 'online plugging and deleting' or having a function of changing physical interface configuration, the whole name of an interface at least comprises two numbers, and the middle part is divided by a slash '/', wherein the 1 st number represents a slot number, and the 2 nd number represents a port number in an interface card. For a router supporting "universal interface processor", its interface number is in the form of "slot/port adapter/port number", e.g. Ethernet4/0/1 is the 2 nd Ethernet interface of the 1 st port adapter on slot number 4.

The console port 404 is a port that allows a user or administrator to communicate with the router 400 using a network access device to complete the configuration of the router, and provides an EIA/TIA-242 asynchronous serial interface for configuration at the router 400.

The auxiliary port 405, like the console port 404, also provides an EIA/TIA-242 asynchronous serial interface, except that it is often used to interface with modems to enable remote management of routers.

The power module 406 may include a power supply, power management components, and the like. The power management component is used for managing the charging of the power supply and the power supply of the power supply to other modules.

Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary software structure of a router according to an embodiment of the present application.

The software architecture of the router is shown in fig. 5, and the software architecture of the router divides the software into a plurality of layers, and each layer has a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the software architecture of the router is divided into four layers, namely an application layer, a component layer, a kernel layer and a driver layer from top to bottom. The application layer comprises an authentication management module, a communication module, a DDNS module, a web server and a network service module. The component layer includes an open secure sockets layer (OpenSSL) algorithm module and an encryption/decryption module. The kernel layer comprises a protocol stack module, a memory management module, a process management module, a scheduler and a file system module, wherein the protocol stack module comprises a Network Address Translation (NAT) module, a firewall and an intelligent service identification module. The driving layer comprises a network driver, a storage driver, an indicator light driver and the like.

The authentication management module is used for remotely accessing the monitoring equipment through the router aiming at the electronic equipment to complete multiple authentications. The authentication management module may rely on the OpenSSL algorithm module and the encryption/decryption module to implement key authentication and data encryption functions, for example, the OpenSSL algorithm module may provide an encryption/decryption algorithm in an OpenSSL open source framework, the authentication management module invokes the encryption/decryption module when performing key authentication, the encryption/decryption module may select one algorithm from the encryption/decryption algorithms provided by the OpenSSL algorithm module to perform key authentication, and the same encryption/decryption algorithm may also invoke the encryption/decryption algorithm provided by the OpenSSL algorithm module to encrypt a video stream (which may also be referred to as video data). The communication module is used for implementing communication with the electronic device, for example, the communication module may be a global system for mobile communications (GSM) module, and the GAM module is used for communicating with the electronic device according to a GSM standard, and the DDNS module is used for communicating with the DDNS server to dynamically manage an IP address and a dynamic domain name of the router. The network service module is used for executing network services, such as management of the router by the electronic device, and controlling access to the monitoring device.

The intelligent service identification module is used for identifying the type of network service which is executed by the router, for example, identifying whether to execute the access of electronic equipment to monitoring equipment; the memory management module is used for managing the memory of the router; the process management module is used for managing the process of the router; the file system module is used for managing files in the router; the scheduler is used for managing task scheduling, such as game task and webpage task scheduling. The network driver includes an ethernet (ethernet) driver, a Wireless (WIFI) driver, a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) driver to complete communication using different networks through the network drivers, the storage driver may be a Flash memory (Flash) driver, the router may store files using Flash, etc., the indicator light driver may be an LED driver, and the on and off of the LED in the router is driven by the LED driver.

In the embodiment of the application, after the WiFi driving module of the router driving layer acquires the detection message sent by the terminal device, the detection message is identified and checked for security, and after the identification and the check are passed, the WiFi driving module sends a response message to the terminal device. In possible implementation, when the router acquires the detection message carrying the PBC related information sent by the terminal device within the effective time, after the identification and the verification are passed, the WiFi driving module sends a response message to the terminal device, and the WiFi driving module can notify the application layer running in the user state to start the WPS PBC key process of the WPS through the kernel interface, and trigger the router to simulate to press the WPS PBC key.

Exemplarily, the WiFi network access method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

at the first moment, the distance between the terminal device and the router is larger than the first distance, the terminal device does not access the wireless fidelity WiFi network of the router, and the account and the password of the WiFi network are not stored in the terminal device.

In this embodiment of the application, an account of a WiFi network may be understood as an SSID, the first distance may refer to a preset security distance between the terminal device and the router, where the preset distance may be a factory value set by a manufacturer based on experience, or may also be a distance set by a user according to a requirement, and the first distance may refer to a smaller distance, such as any distance between 0 and 5 meters, and the like. A schematic diagram of the user setting the first distance may be as shown in fig. 6.

Fig. 6 is a setting interface of a router, and the WiFi safety distance shown in fig. 6 may be understood as a first distance, and a user may modify a value of the WiFi safety distance, for example, the user may set the WiFi safety distance to 1 meter, so that when the distance between the terminal device and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter, the terminal device may display a first button and a prompt message for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network.

It is understood that WiFi safe distance may be enabled or disabled. When the WiFi safe distance is disabled, under the condition that the distance between the terminal segment device and the router is less than or equal to the WiFi safe distance, the terminal device cannot access the WiFi network through the WiFi network access method provided by the embodiment of the application.

At the second moment, the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, and the terminal equipment displays a first button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network; the second time is later than the first time.

In the embodiment of the application, the prompt information is used for prompting whether the user agrees to access the WiFi network by the terminal device, and the user selecting the first button can indicate that the user agrees to access the WiFi network by the terminal device. A schematic diagram of the first button and the reminder information may be as shown in fig. 7.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a display interface of a mobile phone. As shown in fig. 7, the display interface of the mobile phone includes a message popup, and the message popup may include a prompt message, a confirm button, and a cancel button. Wherein the confirmation button may be understood as the first button.

When the terminal device receives the trigger of the first button, the terminal device and the router both automatically trigger a button configuration mode PBC flow, and the terminal device accesses the WiFi network based on the PBC flow.

In the embodiment of the present application, the PBC flow is: within preset time, the PBC function is started on the terminal device in a simulation mode, the WPS PBC key is pressed on the router in a simulation mode, and the terminal device can be accessed to the WiFi network through the router based on the PBC process. The preset time is generally set to 2 minutes, and the preset time can be adjusted in practical application, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It is understood that the WPS functionality of the router may be enabled or disabled, and the setting of the WPS functionality enabled or disabled may be as shown in fig. 6. When the WPS function is enabled, the router may select an implementation of the WPS function. When the router selects the PBC as the implementation of the WPS function, the terminal device may access the WiFi network based on the PBC procedure under the condition that the terminal device also selects the PBC as the implementation of the WPS function.

When the WPS function of the router is disabled, the terminal device cannot access the WiFi network based on passing the WPS function.

For convenience of description, the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the WiFi network is WiFi 123. Under the condition that the mobile phone does not access the network of WiFi 123 and does not acquire or store the account and the password corresponding to WiFi 123, when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is larger than 1 meter, a message popup window is not displayed on the mobile phone, when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is smaller than or equal to 1 meter, the message popup window can be displayed on the mobile phone, the message popup window comprises a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button, the content of the prompt message is 'whether WiFi 123 is added', when the mobile phone receives the operation of selecting the confirmation button by a user, the mobile phone and the router can automatically trigger a PBC flow, a PBC function is simulated to be started on the mobile phone, a WPS PBC button is simulated to be pressed on the router, and the mobile phone can access the WiFi 123 through the router under the condition that the password is not input.

That is to say, the mobile phone can access the WiFi 123 through the router without inputting a password and without password transmission between the router and the mobile phone. Therefore, convenience, safety and flexibility of accessing the terminal equipment to the WiFi network can be improved, and user experience is improved.

In possible implementation, at the third moment, the distance between the terminal device and the router is greater than the first distance, the terminal device does not access the WiFi network of the router, and the account and the password of the WiFi network are not stored in the terminal device; the third time is later than the second time. At the fourth moment, the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, and the terminal equipment displays a first button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network; the fourth time is later than the third time. When the terminal device receives the trigger of the first button, the terminal device and the router both automatically trigger a button configuration mode PBC flow, and the terminal device accesses the WiFi network based on the PBC flow.

Taking the first distance as 1 meter as an example, when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter, after the mobile phone receives the operation that the user agrees to access the WiFi 123, the mobile phone may access the WiFi 123 through the router based on the WiFi network access method provided in the embodiment of the present application. After the connection between the mobile phone and the router is disconnected, when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is greater than 1 meter, the mobile phone cannot access the WiFi 123 of the router, and the account and the password of the WiFi 123 are not stored in the mobile phone. When the distance between the mobile phone and the terminal equipment is less than or equal to 1 meter, a message popup window containing a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button can be displayed on a display screen of the terminal equipment again, and when the mobile phone receives the operation of selecting the confirmation button by the user, the mobile phone and the router can automatically trigger the PBC flow and access the WiFi 123 through the router again.

That is to say, based on the WiFi network access method provided in this embodiment of the application, the terminal device may not transmit the password in the process of accessing the WiFi network through the router, after the terminal device is disconnected from the router, the terminal device may not automatically access the WiFi network of the router, when the distance between the terminal device and the router is smaller than the first distance again, the first button and the prompt message are displayed again on the display screen of the terminal device, and after the terminal device receives an operation of selecting the first button by the user, the PBC flow may be triggered, and the terminal device accesses the network based on the PBC flow. Therefore, the safety of the terminal equipment accessing the WiFi network can be improved.

In possible implementation, after the terminal device accesses the WiFi network based on the PBC flow, the terminal device receives an account and a password of the WiFi network from the router; at the fifth moment, the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is larger than the first distance, the terminal equipment is not accessed to the wireless fidelity WiFi network of the router, and an account number and a password of the WiFi network are stored in the terminal equipment; the fifth time is later than the second time; and at the sixth moment, the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, and the terminal equipment accesses the WiFi network based on the account number and the password of the WiFi network.

For example, after the mobile phone accesses the WiFi 123, the mobile phone receives the account and the password of the WiFi 123 from the router, and the mobile phone may save the account and the password of the WiFi 123. When the distance between the mobile phone and the router is greater than 1 meter, the mobile phone does not access the WiFi 123 of the router, and when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter, the mobile phone can access the WiFi network based on the stored account number and the password of the WiFi 123.

It can be understood that, after the terminal device receives and stores the account and the password of the WiFi network from the router, and when the distance between the terminal device and the router is greater than the first distance, and the terminal device and the router may discover each other, the prompt message and the first button may no longer be displayed on the display screen of the terminal device, and the terminal device may automatically access the WiFi network based on the acquired account and password of the WiFi network, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

That is to say, according to the WiFi network access method provided in this embodiment of the application, after the terminal device accesses the WiFi network through the router, the terminal device may receive and store the account and the password of the WiFi network from the router, when the terminal device and the router need to be connected again, the prompt message and the first button may not be displayed on the display screen of the terminal device, and the terminal device may automatically access the WiFi network based on the acquired account and password of the WiFi network.

Therefore, the convenience of accessing the terminal equipment to the WiFi network can be improved, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In a possible implementation, at the second time, the terminal device further displays a second button; when the terminal equipment receives the trigger of the second button, the terminal equipment cancels the display of the first button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network, and the terminal equipment does not access the WiFi network; at the seventh moment, the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, and the terminal equipment does not display the first button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network; the difference value between the seventh moment and the moment when the second button is triggered is within the first time length; or the distances between the terminal equipment and the router between the seventh moment and the second moment are smaller than or equal to the first distance.

In this embodiment, the user selecting the second button may indicate that the user does not agree that the terminal device accesses the WiFi network. The second button schematic may be as shown in fig. 7, and the cancel button in fig. 7 may be understood as the second button. The first duration may be a factory value set by a manufacturer based on experience, or a duration set by a user according to a requirement, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application, and in the first duration, when the distance between the terminal device and the router is less than or equal to the first distance, the terminal device does not display the first button and the prompt information for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network.

For example, after the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter, a message popup window including a prompt message, a confirmation button, and a cancel button may be displayed on the mobile phone, and when the mobile phone receives an operation of selecting the cancel button by a user, the mobile phone cancels the display of the message popup window, and the mobile phone does not access the WiFi network. Taking the set first duration as 30 minutes as an example, within 30 minutes, when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter again, the mobile phone does not display the message popup window, and the mobile phone does not access the WiFi network.

Or the distance between the mobile phone and the router is always less than or equal to 1 meter, the mobile phone does not display the message popup window, and the mobile phone does not access the WiFi network.

That is, after the terminal device receives the operation of selecting the second button by the user, the terminal device cancels the display of the first button and the prompt message, and the terminal device does not access the WiFi network. And in the first time period, when the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is less than or equal to the first distance again, or the distance is not limited by the first time period, and under the condition that the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is less than or equal to the first distance all the time, the mobile phone does not display the first button and the prompt message, and does not access the WiFi network of the router.

Therefore, the prompt message for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network can be displayed or cancelled on the mobile phone according to the actual requirements of the user, the message of the user is prevented from being disturbed, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In possible implementation, at the eighth moment, the distance between the terminal device and the router is greater than the first distance, the terminal device does not access the WiFi network of the router, and an account and a password of the WiFi network are not stored in the terminal device; the eighth time is later than the seventh time; and at the ninth moment, the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, and the terminal equipment displays the first button, the second button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network.

For example, when the mobile phone receives an operation of a user selecting a cancel button, the mobile phone cancels the display of the message popup, and the mobile phone does not access the WiFi network. Taking the first duration as 30 minutes as an example, after 30 minutes, when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is shortened from more than 1 meter to less than or equal to 1 meter, under the condition that the account and the password of the WiFi 123 are not stored in the mobile phone, a message popup including a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button may be displayed on the mobile phone.

Or when the mobile phone receives the operation of the user selecting the cancel button, the mobile phone cancels the display of the message popup window, and the mobile phone does not access the WiFi network. When the distance between the mobile phone and the router is shortened from more than 1 meter to less than or equal to 1 meter, under the condition that the account and the password of the WiFi 123 are not stored in the mobile phone, a message popup including a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button can be displayed on the mobile phone.

That is to say, after the user disagrees that the terminal device accesses the WiFi network of the router, when the distance between the terminal device and the router is shortened from being greater than the first distance to being smaller than or equal to the first distance, and under the condition that the terminal device does not store the account and the password of the WiFi network, the terminal device may display the first button, the second button, and the prompt information for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network again.

In a possible implementation, after the ninth moment, when the terminal device receives the trigger of the second button, the terminal device cancels the display of the first button and the prompt information for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network, the terminal device does not access the WiFi network, and when the distance between the terminal device and the router is less than or equal to the first distance again, the terminal device does not display the first button and the prompt information for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network any more.

For example, when the mobile phone receives an operation of a user selecting a cancel button, the mobile phone cancels the display of the message popup, and the mobile phone does not access the WiFi network. When the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter again, the mobile phone can display a message popup again, wherein the message popup comprises a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button, the mobile phone receives an operation that a user selects the cancel button, the mobile phone cancels the display of the message popup, and the mobile phone does not access the WiFi network. When the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter again, the mobile phone does not display the message popup, that is, the mobile phone does not inquire whether the user accesses the WiFi network. Optionally, when the mobile phone receives two or more operations of the user selecting the cancel button, the mobile phone may shield the message popup.

That is, after the terminal device receives the trigger of the user to the second button again, the terminal device does not display the first button and the prompt message any more.

Therefore, the prompt message for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network can be displayed or cancelled on the mobile phone according to the actual requirements of the user, so that the message of the user is prevented from being disturbed, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In possible implementation, after the terminal device displays the first button, the second button and a second time length after the terminal device displays the prompt message for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network, if the terminal device does not receive the trigger of the first button and the second button, the terminal device cancels the display of the first button, the second button and the prompt message for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network; after the third time length, if the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is less than or equal to the first distance, the terminal equipment displays the first button, the second button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network again.

In this embodiment of the application, the second duration and the third duration may be factory values set by a manufacturer based on experience, or may be durations set by a user according to requirements, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

For example, the second time period is 30 seconds, and the third time period is 10 minutes. Displaying a message popup window comprising a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancellation button on the mobile phone, wherein the mobile phone cancels to display the message popup window when the mobile phone does not receive the operation of a user on the confirmation button and the cancellation button within 30 seconds; and after the mobile phone cancels the 10 minutes of displaying the message popup, when the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to 1 meter, the message popup is displayed on the mobile phone again.

That is, in the second time period, the terminal device does not receive the trigger of the user on the first button and the second button, the terminal device cancels the display of the first button, the second button and the prompt message, and after the display is cancelled, after the third time period, when the distance between the terminal device and the router is less than or equal to the first distance, the terminal device may display the first button, the second button and the prompt message again.

Therefore, the prompt message for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network can be displayed or cancelled on the mobile phone according to the actual requirement of the user, the message interference of the user is avoided, the convenience of accessing the terminal equipment to the WiFi network can be improved, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In possible implementation, before the terminal device displays the first button and prompt information for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network, the router determines, according to the signal strength between the terminal device and the router, that the distance between the terminal device and the router is less than or equal to the first distance, and/or the terminal device approaches the router; the router sends a response message to the terminal equipment; the terminal equipment displays a first button and prompt information used for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network, and the prompt information comprises the following steps: and when the terminal equipment receives the response message, the terminal equipment displays a first button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network.

In this application embodiment, the signal strength between the terminal device and the router may refer to the signal strength of a detection packet sent by the terminal device and received by the router, where the detection packet of the terminal device is used to detect whether there is a router that can be connected to the terminal device, and generally, when the terminal device is turned on, the terminal device periodically sends the detection packet.

After receiving the detection message sent by the terminal device, the router may send a response message to the terminal device in at least several possible scenarios described below.

The first scenario is: the router may determine, according to the signal strength between the terminal device and the router, that the distance between the terminal device and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, and then the router sends a response packet to the terminal device.

For example, the router determines that the distance between the mobile phone and the router is less than or equal to the first distance according to the signal strength between the mobile phone and the router, the router sends a response message to the mobile phone, and after receiving the response message, the mobile phone may display a message popup window including a prompt message, a confirm button, and a cancel button, where specific display contents may refer to an interface example corresponding to fig. 7, which is not described herein again.

Therefore, the terminal equipment which is less than the first distance away from the router can automatically access the WiFi network of the router.

The second scenario is: the router can determine that the terminal device approaches the router according to the signal strength between the terminal device and the router, and when the distance between the terminal device and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, the router sends a response message to the terminal device.

For example, the router may determine that the mobile phone approaches the router if the signal strength of the probe packet received by the router from the mobile phone is stronger, and further, when the router determines that the distance between the mobile phone and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance according to the signal strength, the router sends a response packet to the mobile phone, and the mobile phone displays a message popup window including a prompt message, a confirmation button, and a cancel button according to the received response packet.

Therefore, the terminal equipment which is dynamically and gradually close to the router and is less than the first distance away from the router can be automatically accessed into the WiFi network of the router, the terminal equipment which is always less than the first distance away from the router and is not provided with the mobile terminal equipment can not execute the WiFi network access process of the embodiment of the application, and the disturbance to the terminal equipment is reduced.

Illustratively, for the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2, the distance to the router is the same at the beginning, when the mobile phone 1 approaches the router, the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is reduced until the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is less than or equal to the first distance, the WiFi network access procedure of the embodiment of the present application is triggered in the mobile phone 1, and when the mobile phone 2 does not approach the router, the WiFi network access procedure of the embodiment of the present application is not triggered in the mobile phone 2.

The third scenario is: the router may determine that the terminal device approaches the router according to the signal strength between the terminal device and the router, and when the distance between the terminal device and the router is smaller than or equal to a second distance, the router sends a response packet to the terminal device, where the second distance is greater than the first distance.

For example, the router may determine that the mobile phone approaches the router if the signal strength of the probe packet received by the router from the mobile phone is stronger, and further, when the router determines that the distance between the mobile phone and the router is smaller than the second distance according to the signal strength, the router sends a response packet to the mobile phone, and the mobile phone displays a message popup including a prompt message, a confirmation button, and a cancel button according to the received response packet.

It can be understood that the second distance may be a distance greater than the first distance, so that in the process of approaching the router by the terminal device, even if the distance between the terminal device and the router does not reach the first distance set by the user, the WiFi network access procedure of the embodiment of the present application can be triggered in the terminal device in advance, so that the terminal device can access the WiFi network as soon as possible.

Illustratively, for the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2, the distance to the router is the same at the beginning, when the mobile phone 1 approaches the router, the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is reduced until the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is less than or equal to the second distance, the WiFi network access procedure of the embodiment of the present application is triggered in the mobile phone 1, and the WiFi network access procedure of the embodiment of the present application is not triggered in the mobile phone 2 if the mobile phone 2 does not approach the router.

The fourth scenario is as follows: the router can determine that the terminal device approaches the router according to the signal strength between the terminal device and the router, and then the router sends a response message to the terminal device.

For example, if the signal strength of the detection message received by the router from the mobile phone is stronger, it may be determined that the mobile phone is approaching the router, the router sends a response message to the mobile phone, and the mobile phone displays a message popup including a prompt message, a confirm button, and a cancel button according to the received response message.

For example, the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is the same as the distance between the mobile phone 2 and the router at the beginning, when the mobile phone 1 approaches the router and the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router becomes smaller, the WiFi network access flow in the embodiment of the present application is triggered in the mobile phone 1, and when the mobile phone 2 does not approach the router, the WiFi network access flow in the embodiment of the present application is not triggered in the mobile phone 2.

Therefore, in the process that the terminal equipment approaches to the router, the WiFi network access process of the embodiment of the application can be triggered in the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment can be accessed to the WiFi network as soon as possible.

In conclusion, in different scenes, the WiFi network access process of the embodiment of the present application may be triggered, so that the terminal device accesses the WiFi network as early as possible, the flexibility of the application scene of the WiFi network access method is improved, the convenience of accessing the terminal device to the WiFi network is improved, and the user experience is improved.

In a possible implementation, the determining, by the router according to the signal strength between the terminal device and the router, that the distance between the terminal device and the router is smaller than or equal to the first distance, and/or the terminal device approaches the router includes:

the router receives a detection message from the terminal equipment; when the router analyzes that the detection message comprises the preset field, the router determines that the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is smaller than or equal to a first distance according to the signal strength between the terminal equipment and the router, and/or the terminal equipment approaches the router.

In this embodiment of the application, the detecting a preset field in the message may include: the field indicating that the terminal device may support the WiFi network connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application may also be understood as an identifier indicating that the terminal device may support the WiFi network connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, the probe message may be a probe request, the preset field may be a self-defined field reserved in the probe message, the preset field may be a number, a character or a character string, and the like, and the number of bits of the preset field may be set arbitrarily, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

That is to say, based on the preset field in the detection message, the router may determine that the terminal device supports performing the procedure of accessing to the WiFi network according to the embodiment of the present application, and implement that the terminal device automatically accesses to the WiFi network based on the procedure of accessing to the WiFi network according to the embodiment of the present application. For a terminal device without the preset field in the detection message, the router may not support the procedure of automatically accessing the WiFi network according to the embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, an encryption field for performing security check may be added to the preset field in the detection message, so as to improve security, and the specific encryption mode is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application. The detection message can also carry a validity check field, so that the security is further improved, the validity check field can comprise a random number, a timestamp and the like, and when the router determines that the random number conforms to a preset rule or the difference between the time of the timestamp and the time of receiving the detection message is smaller, the validity check can be confirmed to be passed.

Therefore, the accuracy and the safety of the connection process between the terminal equipment and the router can be improved.

In possible implementation, the response message replied to the terminal device by the router also includes a preset field, and when the terminal device receives the response message, the terminal device analyzes the response message. And when the response message comprises the preset field, the terminal equipment displays a first button and prompt information for prompting the terminal equipment to access the WiFi network.

In this way, based on the preset field in the response message, the terminal device may also confirm that the router supports the procedure of accessing the WiFi network according to the embodiment of the present application, and the terminal device automatically accesses the WiFi network based on the procedure of accessing the WiFi network according to the embodiment of the present application. For a router without the preset field in the response message, the flow for automatically accessing the WiFi network according to the embodiment of the present application may not be supported.

Certainly, an encryption field for performing security check may also be added to the preset field in the response message, so as to improve the security, and the specific encryption mode is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. The response message may also carry a validity check field, which may include, for example, a random number, a timestamp, and the like, and when the terminal device determines that the random number conforms to a preset rule, or a difference between the time of the timestamp and the time of receiving the response message is small, it may be determined that the validity check is passed.

Under the condition that the detection message and the response message both include preset fields, the following several possibilities can be realized:

a first possible implementation: for the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2, the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is the same at the beginning, the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2 send detection messages to the router, when the mobile phone 1 approaches the router, and the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router becomes smaller, the router sends response messages to the mobile phone 1, the WiFi network access process of the embodiment of the application is triggered in the mobile phone 1, a message popup window comprising a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button can be displayed on the mobile phone 1, after the mobile phone 1 receives an operation of selecting the confirmation button by a user, the mobile phone 1 and the router both automatically trigger the PBC process, the mobile phone 1 simulates to start a PBC function, the router simulates to press the WPS button, an indicator lamp on the router flashes, and the mobile phone 1 can realize the WiFi network access through the router.

If the mobile phone 2 is not close to the router, the WiFi network access process of the embodiment of the present application is not triggered in the mobile phone 2.

A second possible implementation: for the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2, the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is the same at the beginning, the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2 send detection messages to the router, when the mobile phone 1 approaches the router and the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router becomes smaller, the router sends response messages to the mobile phone 1, the WiFi network access process of the embodiment of the application is triggered in the mobile phone 1, the mobile phone 1 can display a message popup window comprising a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button, after the mobile phone 1 receives the operation of selecting the cancel button by a user, the mobile phone 1 cancels the display of the message popup window, and the mobile phone 1 does not access the WiFi network through the router.

If the mobile phone 2 is not close to the router, the WiFi network access process in the embodiment of the present application is not triggered in the mobile phone 2.

A third possible implementation: for the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2, the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router is the same at the beginning, the mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 2 send a detection message to the router, when the mobile phone 1 approaches the router and the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the router becomes smaller, the router sends a response message to the mobile phone 1, the WiFi network access process of the embodiment of the application is triggered in the mobile phone 1, a message popup window including a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button can be displayed on the mobile phone 1, after the second time, the mobile phone 1 does not receive the operation of the confirmation button or the cancel button by the user, the mobile phone 1 cancels the display of the message popup window, and the mobile phone 1 does not access the WiFi network through the router.

It can be understood that, when no field is preset in the detection message of the mobile phone, the mobile phone cannot access the WiFi network through the router based on the WiFi network access method of the embodiment of the present application, or when no field is preset in the response message of the router, the mobile phone cannot access the WiFi network through the router based on the WiFi network access method of the embodiment of the present application.

In a possible implementation, the preset fields include: first information for representing a type (type), second information for representing a length (length), and third information for representing a value (value).

The first information used for representing the type can represent the type of the preset field; the second information is used for indicating the length and can indicate the length of the preset field; the third information for representing the value may store the contents of the preset field.

It is understood that the preset field is not limited to the structure of type-length-value (TLV).

Therefore, whether the router and the terminal device can support the WiFi network connection method provided by the embodiment of the application or not is identified through the preset field, and the safety of the terminal device accessing the WiFi network can be improved.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a specific terminal device and a router establishing connection according to an embodiment of the present application. The steps of establishing connection between the terminal equipment and the router are as follows:

s801, the terminal equipment sends a probe request with a sender specific to the router.

The vender specific is a field described by a protocol, in this embodiment of the present application, the vender specific includes the preset field described above and an encryption field used for performing security check, and the preset field indicates an identifier that the terminal device can support the WiFi network connection method provided in this embodiment of the present application.

After the router receives a detection message sent by the terminal device, the router analyzes that the detection message carries a vender specific, and the vender specific contains an identifier indicating that the terminal device can support the WiFi network connection method provided by the embodiment of the application, the router performs security verification according to an encryption field used for security verification in the vender specific, and after the security verification is passed, the router determines that the distance between the terminal device and the router is smaller than or equal to a security distance based on the signal strength of the received detection message, and/or the terminal device approaches the router.

S802, the router sends a response message (probe response) with the vendor specific to the terminal equipment.

And after the router passes the identification and security check of the acquired detection message, when the router determines that the distance between the terminal equipment and the router is less than or equal to the safe distance, and/or when the terminal equipment approaches the router, the router sends a response message with the vendor specific to the terminal equipment.

Otherwise, the router sends a response message which does not carry the vendor specific to the terminal equipment.

And S803, triggering the WPS PBC key process.

In the embodiment of the application, both the terminal side and the router side can trigger the WPS PBC keystroke procedure, and the triggering sequence is not specifically limited.

The flow of the terminal side triggering the WPS PBC key is as follows:

after the terminal device receives the response message sent by the router, the terminal device analyzes that the response message carries the vender specific, and the vender specific contains an identifier indicating that the router can support the WiFi network connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device performs security verification according to the encrypted field used for security verification in the vender specific, after the security verification is passed, the terminal device can display a message popup window containing a prompt message, a confirmation button and a cancel button for prompting the terminal device to access the WiFi network, and the message popup window can be as shown in fig. 7.

When the terminal equipment receives the operation of selecting the confirmation button by the user, the PBC flow at the terminal side is triggered. It can be understood that the PBC procedure at the terminal side is initiated by the terminal device simulating the opening of the PBC function, where the simulation may be understood as that an event similar to that obtained after the PBC function is triggered by the user is generated inside the terminal device, and based on the event, the terminal device may execute the PBC procedure without the user actually executing the triggering action.

The flow of the router side triggering the WPS PBC key is as follows:

optionally, when the terminal device receives an operation of selecting the confirmation button by the user, the terminal device may send a detection message carrying the PBC related information to the router, and after the router receives the detection message within the valid time, the router compares the terminal device sending the detection message with the terminal device in step S801, and may trigger the PBC flow on the router side in the case of the same terminal device.

Optionally, when the terminal device receives an operation of selecting the confirmation button by the user, the terminal device may send a probe message carrying the sender specific and the PBC related information to the router, and the router may trigger the PBC flow on the router side after receiving the probe message within the effective time.

Optionally, when the router receives the probe packet with the sender specific sent by the terminal device, and sends the response packet with the sender specific to the terminal device, the PBC flow at the router side may be triggered.

It can be understood that the PBC flow on the router side is initiated by the router simulating the WPS PBC button pressing, where the simulation can be understood as that an event similar to the event obtained after the WPS PBC button pressing is simulated by the user is generated inside the terminal device, and the router can execute the PBC flow based on the event without the user actually executing the trigger action.

After the PBC flow at the router side is triggered, the router may send a beacon message with information of Wi-Fi fast configuration (WSC), SR = TRUE, and PBC to the terminal device, where SR = TRUE indicates that the WPS PBC key has been simulated and pressed, and the beacon message is one of 802.11 messages.

And S804, continuing to execute the rest flows of the PBC.

After the terminal device and the router both trigger the PBC flow, the terminal device and the router may continue to execute the standard PBC flow, and complete the authentication (authentication), association (association), M1 to M8 and other flows for enabling the terminal device to access the WiFi network.

M1 and M2 can be the process of establishing encrypted connection between the terminal equipment and the router, M3-M7 can be the authentication process of confirming that the PIN codes used by the router and the terminal equipment are consistent, and M8 can carry configData and is used for configuring the WiFi network. It can be understood that the PBC procedure may be a procedure specified based on a protocol, and details of specific implementation are not described in this embodiment of the present application.

S805, the terminal equipment establishes connection with the router.

And connection is established between the terminal equipment and the router, and the terminal equipment can be connected with the WiFi network through the router.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, when the distance between the terminal device and the router is less than or equal to the safety distance, and/or when the terminal device approaches the router, a message popup window for prompting the user whether to access the WiFi network may pop up on a display screen of the terminal device, and when the user agrees to access the WiFi network, the terminal device and the router may simulate a PBC mode to implement WiFi network access of the terminal device. Like this, terminal equipment can realize that a key inserts the wiFi network, improves convenient degree, security and the flexibility that terminal equipment inserted the wiFi network, promotes user's use and experiences.

It should be noted that, the above embodiments are all described by taking a terminal device access router as an example. In possible implementation, the WiFi network access method provided in this application embodiment may also be applicable to a scenario where the terminal device accesses a WiFi hotspot transmitted by another terminal device, where a procedure executed by the terminal device that transmits the WiFi hotspot may correspond to a procedure executed by the router, a message transmitted between the terminal device and the terminal device that transmits the WiFi hotspot, a communication protocol that is followed, and the like, may be different from a message transmitted between the terminal device and the router, and a communication protocol that is followed, and may be adaptively changed, which is not described in this application embodiment in detail.
