Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), an access Terminal, a Mobile Terminal (MT), a user Terminal, a wireless communication device, and so on. The electronic device in the embodiment of the application may be a handheld device with a wireless connection function, such as a mobile phone (mobile phone), a tablet (Pad), a notebook, a palm computer, a mobile internet device (mobile INTERNET DEVICE, MID), or other handheld devices, such as a watch, an in-ear earphone, a pendant, a headset, and the like. The electronic device in the embodiment of the application can also be a wearable electronic device, such as electronic glasses, electronic clothes, electronic bracelets, electronic necklaces, electronic tattoos, electronic devices, smart watches, or head-mounted displays (head mount display, HMD) and the like. The embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited thereto.
WiFi is a technology that can connect terminal devices to each other in a wireless manner, and a device having a wireless-to-wired bridging function is called an access point device, and may be, for example, an access point device such as a wireless router or a wireless repeater.
In recent years, with the continuous development of wireless local area network technology, wireless local area network WiFi covers most families, and more elderly people also have own smart phones, so that the use frequency of home WiFi is also higher and higher.
Currently, when electronic devices such as smart phones and computers are connected to WiFi, a password is usually required to be manually input. Because the current electronic devices such as smart phones and computers all have the function of memorizing the connected network, users can easily forget the password of the home Wi-Fi, and when a new device is accessed to the home Wi-Fi or a visitor wants to access the home Wi-Fi, the user is inconvenient. It can be understood that, for the manner of manually inputting the password, if the user sets a relatively well remembered password, the password will be relatively simple and the security is not high. In addition, once the user forgets the password, the access point device parameters must be reset, the flow is complicated, and the user experience is poor.
In order to facilitate the establishment of WiFi communication connection, a manner of connecting WiFi using NFC is proposed in the related art. The electronic equipment can activate and use NFC to carry out communication interaction through the NFC label close to the access point equipment, and the access point equipment can transmit connection parameters such as service set identification SSID, wiFi password and the like to the electronic equipment through NFC, so that the aim of not needing to manually input the password is fulfilled. It will be appreciated that the maximum communication distance supported by NFC communication is 10cm, so by way of NFC-connected WiFi, it is necessary for the access point device to be placed where the user can routinely touch. However, due to different home layouts, the access point device may be placed at a lower or higher position, which is inconvenient for users to touch, and has a certain limitation and poor user experience.
In order to solve the problems, the embodiment of the application provides a method for establishing wireless communication connection, which is applied to electronic equipment, and comprises the steps of establishing first wireless communication connection with access point equipment, wherein the communication distance supported by the first wireless communication connection is larger than the communication distance corresponding to near field communication; and the connection parameters are used for establishing a second wireless communication connection based on wireless fidelity (WiFi) with the access point equipment, and the second wireless communication connection is established between the access point equipment according to the connection parameters. According to the scheme, the WiFi connection parameters can be acquired from the access point device in a comfortable distance space by utilizing the first wireless communication connection, so that WiFi automatic connection is realized, and user experience is improved.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for establishing a wireless communication connection according to an embodiment of the present application. The method shown in fig. 1 may be applied to an electronic device as well as to an access point device. The electronic device may be any of the aforementioned electronic devices, such as a cell phone, tablet computer, etc., and the access point device may be a wireless router, for example. The method shown in fig. 1 includes steps S120 to S160.
A first wireless communication connection is established between the electronic device and the access point device at step 120.
According to the embodiment of the application, the communication distance supported by the first wireless communication connection is larger than the communication distance corresponding to the near field communication NFC, so that the electronic equipment can establish the first communication connection with the access point equipment within a comfortable space distance range, and the user experience is improved.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may obtain the scan code information by scanning a device association code of the access point device, and then establish a first wireless communication connection with the access point device according to the scan code information. It is to be understood that the code scanning information may include device information of the access point device, such as a device name, device identification information, etc., which is not particularly limited by the present application.
In some embodiments, the first wireless communication connection may be a bluetooth connection, the code scanning information may include a bluetooth device name of the access point device, and establishing the first wireless communication connection with the access point device according to the code scanning information may include performing bluetooth pairing with the access point device according to the bluetooth device name of the access point device, and establishing the first wireless communication connection with the access point device in response to successful bluetooth pairing.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may send multiple bluetooth pairing requests to the access point device to establish a bluetooth connection with the access point device. It will be appreciated that if the number of bluetooth pairing between the electronic device and the access point device exceeds a preset threshold, the bluetooth connection between the electronic device and the access point device is disconnected, for example, the preset threshold of the number of bluetooth pairing may be set to 3, which is not particularly limited in the present application.
In some embodiments, in response to a scanning operation of the device association code by the electronic device, the electronic device may receive a hint information that may be used to hint to turn on a WiFi function of the electronic device. It will be appreciated that if the WiFi function of the electronic device is already on, the prompt is not received.
The type of the first wireless communication connection is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the first wireless communication connection may be a bluetooth connection, an infrared connection, a zigbee connection, or the like.
The device association code type of the access point device in the embodiment of the application is not particularly limited, and can be, for example, a two-dimensional code, a bar code and the like of the access point device. The device association code can be provided by an access point device manufacturer, and can be pasted on a wide and convenient place in a family, such as a tea table, a wall and the like.
The access point device sends the connection parameters to the electronic device over the first wireless communication connection at step 140.
After the first wireless communication connection is successfully established between the electronic device and the access point device, the access point device can send a connection parameter to the electronic device through the first wireless communication connection, wherein the connection parameter can be used for establishing a second wireless communication connection based on wireless fidelity (WiFi) between the electronic device and the access point device. That is, the connection parameter is a WiFi connection parameter, and the second wireless communication connection is a WiFi connection.
In some embodiments, the above-mentioned scan code information may include device identification information, and the access point device transmitting the connection parameters to the electronic device over the first wireless communication connection may include, in response to the device identification information matching the access point device, then the access point device transmitting the connection parameters to the electronic device over the first wireless communication connection.
In some embodiments, the device identification information may be a unique identification number of the access point device. The electronic device may first obtain an identification number of the access point device by scanning a device association code, then send the identification number to the access point device through a first wireless communication connection, and further match the received identification number with an identification number stored in the access point device, and if the matching is successful, send a connection parameter to the electronic device. If the match fails, no connection parameters are sent. In this way the uniqueness of the access point device can be verified.
In some embodiments, to ensure data security, the electronic device may send encrypted device identification information to the access point device through the first wireless communication connection, and/or the access point device may send encrypted connection parameters to the electronic device through the first wireless communication connection. The embodiment of the application does not limit the data encryption mode specifically, taking the first wireless communication connection as a Bluetooth connection as an example, for example, the data such as the connection parameters, the equipment identification information and the like can be encrypted by adopting a Bluetooth protocol.
In some embodiments, the device identification information in the access point device may be stored in a non-volatile memory (NVM) such that the device identification information is not lost even if the access point device is powered down.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may also send device identification information to the access point device before receiving the connection parameter, further disconnect the first wireless communication connection between the electronic device and the access point device in response to a timeout of the time waiting for receiving the connection parameter, and continue to wait for receiving the connection parameter in response to a failure of the time waiting for receiving the connection parameter and the electronic device not receiving the connection parameter sent by the access point device.
In some embodiments, the connection parameters mentioned above may include parameters such as a service set identification SSID and/or a WiFi password of the access point device.
A second wireless communication connection is established between the electronic device and the access point device at step 160.
After the electronic device inputs the WiFi connection parameters, a second wireless communication connection may be established between the electronic device and the access point device according to the WiFi connection parameters.
According to the above description, it can be seen that the communication distance supported by the first wireless communication connection is greater than the communication distance corresponding to the near field communication NFC, and by using the first wireless communication connection, the scheme can obtain WiFi connection parameters (for example, service set identifier SSID and/or WiFi password) from the access point device in a comfortable distance space, so as to realize WiFi automatic connection, without requiring a user to manually input password information, and is convenient and fast. In addition, compared with the traditional scheme of connecting Wi-Fi through NFC, the embodiment of the application reduces the limitation on the placement position of the access point equipment, namely, the access point equipment is placed in a place which is too high or too low in a family, and the WiFi connection can be conveniently and rapidly realized automatically, so that the convenience of use and experience of a user are further improved.
