Description

Network connection method, device and system

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of wireless networking technologies, and in particular, to a network connection method, apparatus, and system.

Background

Along with the progress of science and technology, intelligent household equipment is more and more popularized. The establishment of the smart home network is an important step of using smart home devices, and currently, many smart home devices are generally networked by accessing a Wireless-Fidelity (WiFi) router. However, if the WiFi name or password of the router changes, the device that originally accesses the router disconnects the network.

In the wireless device offline scene, the related art provides the following methods for reconfiguring WiFi:

(1) and triggering the wireless equipment to enter a distribution network state by a physical key method. However, this method relies on the need for the device to have physical keys that are accessible to the user, some overhead devices are not easily accessible, and some devices eliminate the physical keys during product design for cost reasons.

(2) The equipment is triggered to enter a distribution network state by a method of identifying specific sound waves. The method has higher requirements on the hardware design of the audio acquisition module of the equipment, and the success rate can be reduced in a noisy environment.

(3) The device is triggered to enter the distribution network state by a method of identifying a specific image (such as a two-dimensional code). The method needs equipment with a camera, and needs images to keep a fixed distance to align with the camera, so that the operation of a user is troublesome, and the distance is generally only about 20CM, which cannot meet the requirement of remotely resetting WiFi.

(4) The device is triggered to enter the distribution network state by continuous power failure for multiple times (such as plugging and unplugging a power supply). However, the operating distance of the method depends on the length of the power line, and the operation is universal, so that certain safety risks exist.

These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another. For example, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the present application. The word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at … …" or "when … …" or "in response to a determination", depending on the context.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a network connection method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment may be applied to a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, and specifically may include the following steps:

step 101, a hotspot is opened, and the identification of the hotspot is related to the device information of the target device to be accessed to the hotspot.

As an example, the target device may be a wireless networking-enabled device, for example, may include but is not limited to a webcam IPC, a smart light bulb, a smart air conditioner, a smart socket, a smart speaker, and so on.

As one example, the device information may include a device unique identification (such as a device serial number), a device authentication code, login information, and the like.

In one embodiment, the device information may be information externally input to the mobile terminal. For example, a control program (APP shown in fig. 2) for controlling the wireless devices may be installed in the mobile terminal, and after the user logs in the control program, device information of one or more devices may be input in the control program to add the one or more wireless devices. After a device is added to the control program, the control program may obtain device information for the device. The manner of adding the device may refer to the manner in the related art, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In a possible application scenario, the target device to be connected to the hotspot may be a device that is disconnected after being connected to the network. When the mobile terminal detects that the device is disconnected (for example, the device can be determined to be disconnected if the heartbeat packet is not replied by a certain device within a preset time period by means of sending the heartbeat packet by the control program and the device added to the control program), a prompt that the device is disconnected can be sent to the user, and the user is asked whether to perform device distribution network operation. When it is detected that the user needs to perform the device distribution network, the disconnected device can be used as a target device, and device information of the target device is obtained.

In other application scenarios, the target device to be accessed to the hotspot may also be a new device that is not added to the control program, and at this time, a specified page may be displayed in the control program, and the user is prompted to fill in device information in the specified page, and to receive device information input by the user in the specified page. When the method is implemented, a user can input equipment information in modes of scanning the two-dimensional code, manually inputting and the like.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, before starting the hot spot, the following steps may be further included:

inquiring an encryption key corresponding to the current moment from a preset key list; and encrypting the unique equipment identifier by adopting the encryption key to obtain the identifier of the hotspot.

In this embodiment, after the device information of the target device is determined, a preset encryption key and an encryption algorithm may be used to encrypt the device unique identifier in the device information, and a character string with a specified length obtained through encryption is used as an identifier SSID of the hotspot.

In one example, the encryption key may be a dynamic key, for example, a developer may divide the time of day into a plurality of time periods, and generate a key list by pre-assigning an encryption key to each time period. When the encryption key needs to be obtained, the time period to which the time belongs can be determined according to the real-time, and then the key corresponding to the time period is obtained as the encryption key needed to be used for encryption. In other examples, the dynamic key may also be a real-time, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The pre-negotiated encryption algorithm may be a hash algorithm pre-configured by a developer. After the key and the encryption algorithm are determined, the unique identifier of the device can be encrypted by adopting the key and the encryption algorithm to obtain a character string with a specified length as a hot spot identifier.

Aiming at the hot spot identification, the unique equipment identification of the plaintext is converted into the ciphertext through the Hash algorithm, and meanwhile, the dynamic password is introduced, so that the difficulty of guessing the SSID by the rainbow table can be increased, the SSID is prevented from being reused, and the equipment networking safety is improved.

It should be noted that the network on which the opened hotspot depends may be a mobile network of the mobile terminal, and may also be a network used after the mobile terminal accesses the router, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Step 102, when receiving a request for accessing the hotspot sent by the target device, allowing the target device to access the hotspot.

For the target device, for example, in fig. 2, when the target device (such as the DEV shown in fig. 2) needs to access the network, the device unique identifier of the target device (such as the DEV) may also be encrypted by using a dynamic key and an encryption algorithm according to the method instep 102, so as to obtain a character string identical to the character string obtained instep 102.

After the target device obtains the character string, the target device can start a thread to periodically scan surrounding hotspots so as to judge whether the SSID same as the character string exists or not, and if so, the target device sends a request for accessing the hotspot. And when the mobile terminal receives a request for accessing the hot spot, which is sent by the target equipment, allowing the target equipment to access the opened hot spot.

Step 103, when detecting that the terminal and the target device are in the same local area network, sending a Wi-Fi configuration instruction to the target device, so that the target device switches from an access hotspot to access Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, after the hotspot is opened, the control program periodically broadcasts a first search packet in the local area network corresponding to the SSID to search for the target device, and if a response message returned by the target device is received, it may be determined that the target device is detected to access the current hotspot, that is, it is determined that the terminal and the target device are in the same local area network.

After the target device accesses the hotspot, the mobile terminal and the target device can interact through a preset private protocol to increase the security of the interactive information.

When it is determined that the terminal and the target device are in the same local area network, in a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, this embodiment may further include the following steps:

sending an authentication request to the target device; receiving an authentication response returned by the target equipment; and when the authentication response is an authentication success response, sending a Wi-Fi configuration instruction to the target equipment.

As an example, the authentication request may include login information of the target device, and the authentication request requests the target device to authenticate the login information.

Specifically, the device information of the target device may include login information of the target device, for example, the login information may include a login account and a login password. Wherein the target device first needs to be logged in before use.

When it is determined that the target device joins the opened hotspot, the control program may send an authentication request including login information of the target device to the target device through a pre-agreed private protocol, so that the target device authenticates the login information. After authenticating the login information, the target device returns an authentication response to the control program, where the authentication response may include an authentication success response and an authentication failure response. After receiving the authentication response, the control program can send a Wi-Fi configuration instruction to the target device through a private protocol to configure the routing information of the target device if analyzing the authentication response as an authentication success response. If the authentication response is analyzed to be the authentication failure response, the control program does not configure the routing information of the target device.

Illustratively, the Wi-Fi configuration instructions can include the SSID name and password of Wi-Fi provided by the router.

In this embodiment, before sending the Wi-Fi configuration instruction to the target device, security authentication of login information is performed first, so that the security of the distribution network can be improved.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, after sending the Wi-Fi configuration instruction to the target device, this embodiment may further include the following steps:

and when receiving a configuration response returned by the target equipment, closing the hotspot.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, after the control program sends a Wi-Fi configuration instruction (i.e., configure new Wi-Fi information in fig. 2) to the target device, when the target device receives the Wi-Fi configuration instruction, a configuration response (i.e., configure successful response in fig. 2) may be returned to the control program. When the control program receives the configuration response, it may be determined that the target device has received the Wi-Fi configuration instruction, and the control program may close the opened hotspot.

For the target device, as shown in fig. 2, after receiving the Wi-Fi configuration instruction, the access node may switch to access to the Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, after the hot spot is turned off, this embodiment may further include the following steps:

accessing the Wi-Fi, inquiring the online state of the current local area network of the target device, and determining that the Wi-Fi configuration of the target device is successful when the online state indicates that the target device is online.

In an embodiment, if the mobile terminal adopts a mobile network to open the hotspot, after the hotspot is closed, the mobile terminal may access the current Wi-Fi according to the obtained SSID name and password provided by the router.

In another embodiment, if the mobile terminal has already accessed Wi-Fi initially, the hotspot may be opened based on the Wi-Fi, and when the hotspot is closed, the mobile terminal is still in the current Wi-Fi.

After the mobile terminal accesses Wi-Fi, the mobile terminal can broadcast a second search packet in the current local area network at regular time through a preset private protocol so as to scan all access devices in the local area network at present and receive responses returned by all the devices, and if the devices returning the responses comprise the target device, the target device can be judged to be in an online state, namely the Wi-Fi configuration of the target device is successful.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present embodiment, the following takes the target device as a camera as an example, and the present embodiment is exemplarily described by taking an example:

for example, the camera is arranged at a high position and is wirelessly connected with the router at home. When a new router is changed in a home, the Wi-Fi name and the password are changed, and the wireless connection of the camera cannot be achieved, the following processes can be executed:

1. the camera generates a character string from the equipment serial number of the camera through a negotiated algorithm and a negotiated dynamic key, periodically scans surrounding hot spots, and searches for the hot spot taking the character string as an SSID.

2. When a user finds that the camera is not connected with the internet, a designated control program APP of the mobile phone is started, the camera is selected to carry out network distribution, in the process of network distribution, the APP firstly obtains an equipment serial number of the camera, the same character string is generated according to the equipment serial number and the same algorithm as the camera, and then the mobile phone hot spot is started by taking the character string as the SSID.

3. When the camera finds the hot spot, the connection is automatically carried out.

4. The mobile phone searches the camera in the local area network periodically at the moment, and after finding the camera, the mobile phone communicates with the camera in the local area network and sends the Wi-Fi name and the password of the new router to the camera through a private protocol.

5. After the two routers are communicated, the Wi-Fi of the new router is connected, the mobile phone periodically searches whether the camera is in the same local area network or not in a period of time, and if the camera is searched, the camera is judged to be configured on the Wi-Fi of the new router, and the camera can surf the internet normally.

In this embodiment, after a hotspot is started by using a hotspot identifier related to device information of a target device, if a request sent by the target device to access the current hotspot is received, the target device is allowed to access the current hotspot, and when it is detected that the terminal and the target device are in the same local area network, a Wi-Fi configuration instruction is sent to the target device, so that the target device is switched from the access hotspot to access Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction, thereby implementing the configuration of Wi-Fi information for a device disconnected from the network by using a hotspot signal, and the distribution network process does not need to contact the target device, which can be operated remotely, and has a simple operation method, a distribution network success rate and high security.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart illustrating steps of another embodiment of a network connection method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where the present embodiment may be applied to a target device to be connected to a network, and the target device may include, for example and without limitation, a webcam IPC, a smart bulb, a smart air conditioner, a smart socket, a smart speaker, and other smart devices.

The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 301, scanning a hot spot with a character string generated according to the device unique identifier of the device as a hot spot identifier, and accessing the hot spot.

Illustratively, the device unique identifier may be a device serial number.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, the following manner may be adopted to generate a character string according to the device unique identifier of the present device:

inquiring an encryption key corresponding to the current moment from a preset key list; and encrypting the unique equipment identifier by adopting the encryption key to obtain the character string.

The manner of generating the character string in this step may refer to the description of generating the identification of the hot spot in the embodiment of fig. 1. It should be noted that the key list in the present device needs to be the same as the key list of the mobile terminal, and the time of the present device needs to be synchronized with the mobile terminal to ensure that the present device is consistent with the encryption algorithm and encryption key employed in the mobile terminal.

After the target device obtains the character string, the target device can start a thread to periodically scan surrounding hotspots to judge whether the SSID same as the character string exists or not, if so, the target device can send a request for accessing the hotspot to the mobile terminal, and when a response that the mobile terminal allows the device to access the hotspot is received, the SSID is automatically accessed.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, after accessing the hotspot, this embodiment may further include the following steps:

and returning a hotspot access response when the first search packet broadcasted by the mobile terminal is detected.

After the mobile terminal opens the hot spot, the mobile terminal broadcasts a first search packet in a corresponding local area network at regular time to search the equipment added to the hot spot.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, after returning a hotspot access response, this embodiment further includes the following steps:

receiving an authentication request sent by the mobile terminal, wherein the authentication request comprises login information; and authenticating the login information and returning an authentication response, wherein the authentication response comprises an authentication success response or an authentication failure response.

In order to ensure the safety of the equipment, the mobile terminal can send login information to the equipment for login authentication before the equipment is distributed with a network. And when the equipment authenticates the login information without error, returning an authentication success response, and otherwise, returning an authentication failure response.

Step 302, receiving a Wi-Fi configuration instruction sent by the mobile terminal providing the hotspot, and switching from accessing the hotspot to accessing Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction.

In this step, the target device may receive a Wi-Fi configuration instruction sent by the mobile terminal through a private protocol, and disconnect the connection with the hotspot and connect the corresponding Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, before switching from the access hotspot to access Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction, this embodiment further includes the following steps:

and after the Wi-Fi configuration instruction is received, sending a configuration response to the mobile terminal to inform the mobile terminal of closing the hotspot.

In a possible implementation manner of this embodiment, after switching from the access hotspot to access Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction, this embodiment may further include the following steps:

and returning a Wi-Fi access response when receiving a second search packet broadcasted by the mobile terminal.

In this step, after returning the Wi-Fi access response, the mobile terminal may search for the device in the local area network, so as to ensure that the network configuration of the device is successful.

In this embodiment, when the target device needs to access the network, the target device may first scan a hotspot identified by a character string generated according to the device unique identifier of the device, and access the hotspot, and then may receive a Wi-Fi configuration instruction sent by the mobile terminal providing the hotspot, and switch from accessing the hotspot to accessing the Wi-Fi according to the Wi-Fi configuration instruction. The whole process can be operated remotely, the operation method is simple, and the success rate and the safety of the distribution network are high.

In addition, since the embodiment does not need to contact the device when the network is distributed for the target device, it can be considered that the physical key of the target device is removed, and the cost of the target device is further reduced.

The computer storage medium may be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a random or serial access memory device, or a combination of one or more of them.

The processes and logic flows described in this specification can be performed by one or more programmable computers executing one or more computer programs to perform corresponding functions by operating on input data and generating output. The processes and logic flows can also be performed by, and apparatus can also be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit).

Computers suitable for executing computer programs include, for example, general and/or special purpose microprocessors, or any other type of central processing unit. Generally, a central processing unit will receive instructions and data from a read-only memory and/or a random access memory. The basic components of a computer include a central processing unit for implementing or executing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks. However, a computer does not necessarily have such a device. Further, the computer may be embedded in another device, e.g., a vehicle-mounted terminal, a mobile telephone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a mobile audio or video player, a game console, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, or a portable storage device such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive, to name a few.

Computer-readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media and memory devices, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices (e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices), magnetic disks (e.g., an internal hard disk or a removable disk), magneto-optical disks, and CD ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory can be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry.
